About This Spring
## Overview This public drinking spring sits in the mountains near Montánchez, a historic hilltop town in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain. Water flows straight from the mountain and has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals and visitors alike. ## What to Expect The spring is located at an elevation in the Sierra de Montánchez, offering a refreshing stop amid the rugged landscape of western Spain. Montánchez itself is well known for its medieval castle and its renowned cured ham (*jamón ibérico*), so a visit to the spring pairs well with exploring this charming corner of Extremadura. While the water has been reported to be good drinking water sourced directly from the mountain, visitors are always encouraged to test or filter the water themselves to be sure. **GPS:** 39.22351, -6.15551
