Puntallana originally grew around the spring of St John the Baptist (San Juan). Today,the spring is still there, but it’s nobody’s drinking water (which is a good thing, seeing as the water’s green.)
Still, it’s a peaceful spot to visit, and they still hold a yearly procession where they take the statue of the village’s patron saint, St John the Baptist, to the spring to give thanks for the water.
Local housewives used to wash the family laundry nearby at the Fuentiña – the little spring.
To find the two springs, just wander downhill from the church or Casa Lujan.
