Officially, it's the source of the Ebro River, in Fontibre. However, according to what we were told at the tourist office, the waters of the spring pools come underground from the Hijar River, which rises in Alto Campoo. Specifically, in Tresmares, where the Hijar-Ebro begins, flowing into the Mediterranean; the Pisuerga (a tributary of the Duero) flows into the Atlantic; and the Nansa flows into the Cantabrian Sea.

Calle Mayor, at the end of its route, widens, forming a square where there is a public fountain in charge of supplying water to the population. It fulfilled this function until 1910, when the deposit was built. It simply consists of a column with a square base from which four water pipes supply. It is believed that it may date from the beginning of the 18th century. Next to the fountain are the Hermitage of San Roque and the Teatro Principal.
