Guided visit to the Font de les Escales in Santpedor
Guided tour of the Font de les Escales in Santpedor. The Font de les Escales, first documented in 1291, is located beneath the Plaça de la Font. This fountain is considered the oldest in the town and, until 1909, was the only source of water for the municipality, apart from the wells.
Guided tours of the Font de les Escales will take place on the first Saturday of each month. This initiative aims to promote awareness of local heritage and offer visitors a unique experience.
The Plaça Gran U d'Octubre is the heart of Santpedor's activities, hosting the local market and the rampoina market, along with other cultural and gastronomic events. All these activities are coordinated by the Horts amb Flors association, with the support of the Town Hall, and aim to revitalize village life and make it more appealing to visitors.
During the guided tour, participants will discover not only the history of the fountain, but also important aspects of Santpedor's culture and traditions. Combining the tour with the local market offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy local products and the festive atmosphere of the square.
It is an ideal opportunity to learn more about the history of Santpedor and enjoy a day full of activities and discoveries.
Come and discover the Font de les Escales and everything this charming village has to offer!
