Fonte das Fontaínhas
This spring originated in the Ribeira das Águas Livres stream and, after the construction of the aqueduct of the same name, was reduced to a spring and a small stream, which once served as a public laundry. It was built in 1888, and the exploitation of its waters began in 1910.
