Discover Fuentes Calientes: Church, Mills and Cycling Route

Fuentes Calientes can be viewed from several clearly distinct perspectives. Architecture, water power, local culture, historic paths and the regional landscape provide specific points of connection for different interests.

Culture and Water Power

The Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Fuentes Calientes has a single-nave layout with three rectangular sections, side chapels between the buttresses, a polygonal chancel and star-ribbed vaults. This arrangement directs attention to the sequence of nave, chapels, chancel and vaults, making the architectural description possible to read in a differentiated way.

The Centro de Interpretación de los Molinos de Agua (CIMA) in Fuentes Calientes explains how water power drove milling mechanisms and how grain was processed. The Molino mill was powered by water from the Alfambra River; the water was stored in a masonry basin behind the mill. CIMA and the mill provide two approaches to the history of technology: the explanatory presentation and the actual building with its storage basin.

Local Culture

The Guernica mural is part of the local cultural tour in Fuentes Calientes. Compared with church architecture and milling technology, this stop provides an independent accent within the area’s cultural themes.

Local Engagement

A·Escamondar’s main activity is pruning and maintaining the pollarded trees at the Las Fuentes picnic area. As part of A·Escamondar, participants can take part in a shared meal with a vegan or meat-based menu option after the work session. In this way, practical work at the picnic area and a shared meal stand alongside each other as two independent components.
