I passed through in October and the water level was too high to cross without getting wet.

A viewpoint with an information panel to recognize what we are seeing, deserves a brief stop and of course a photograph

A pond located very close to the Jarapalos fountain, used in hot weather to cool off

A curious place to see. It's not worth going inside. Just seeing it from the outside is enough.

Normally the water is not deep and can be crossed without problem.

Start of the climb and emblematic point to go up to the Jarapalos fountain, you can park in this area and start the climb on foot (you can go up a little further by car to the entrance to the Tiro Pichón range but sometimes there are too many vehicles and it is difficult to park and maneuver).

A unique reference and a very common route destination for hikers but especially cyclists, usually going up from the entrance through the Tiro Pichón shooting range, a constant climb with good views and some viewing points along the way. The fountain always has water but I doubt it is drinkable, it is not indicated and I have never risked trying it 😅. What we can do is cool off, it is on the north face and offers shade and humidity. Right in front there is a descent towards the Mínillas but if we continue climbing we can see another viewing point in about 800m and a couple of kilometres later we will reach the crossroads to continue towards Puerto de la Encina or go down towards the bottling plant and Mijas. Of course we will always have the option of going up to the fountain and returning along the same path, with the peace of mind that everything is downhill.
