La Torre's surroundings
Fuente de Piedra
Currently one of the main attractions of Fuente de Piedra, in its excellent geographical location, is very well connected, in the geographical center of Andalusia. Accessible to the main cities of Andalusia in an hour by highway and within a very important natural environment and full of history, we will pass through a new section, because it is worth it.
Fuente de Piedra is a town of 2,700 inhabitants, located in the north of the province of Malaga, bordering other provinces such as Seville; This town is called mainly because in its environment there is the largest lagoon in Andalusia with 1,400 Hectares. It is a unique place because Flamenco Rosa and many other species nest, it is the only colony in Spain where this species is reproduced. It is located in the lagoon in an incomparable paradise between cereal fields and olive groves, visible almost from any point of the municipality even at great distances, given its size. In the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is located the largest common flamingo colony in the Iberian Peninsula and the second in importance in Europe, after the Camagüey in the province of Provence in France. As you can imagine it is a spa for the passage of a great variety of migratory birds, that all lovers of ornithology and those in love with nature in general will appreciate.
Fuente de Piedra was already known in ancient Rome for the healing properties of its waters, which give the town its name. There are vestiges and evidence of the large number of properties that contain water from its source, according to the history capable of curing kidney diseases such as the well-known “stone” or the painful nephroliths or kidney stone. That’s why the town is called calling La Fuente de la Piedra. Alluding to the water that cured the disease of the stone. The water of this town was exported to Rome in ancient times 2,000 years ago, nowadays the restoration of that source is conserved, but we do not have that quality of water unfortunately.
