This spot, which feeds the Bullent River, is visited by residents of Oliva, visitors from other towns, and even foreign tourists. It is undoubtedly a privileged place worth visiting, especially for its location within the natural park, its proximity to the beach, and its health tourism, as it is an underground source of thermal waters—with a considerable sulfur content—whose waters have traditionally been recognized as beneficial for treating dermatological diseases.
