The Font del Rector is about 300 meters from the sanctuary of Foix, sunk below ground level, protected by three stone walls. On the central wall there is a push-button faucet. Above the spring is the mine, dug out of the mountain. It is accessed through an opening and some steps and inside there is an iron tube that channels the water, when it exists, towards the fountain. Next to the entrance there is a tile with the name of the fountain and a cute owl on a log.

The Pèlags of Vilobí del Penedès are a small natural place in Vilobí del Penedès, in the Alt Penedès region. This space is made up of the old gypsum quarries on the Vilobí hill. It is of great scenic beauty and great ecological and geological value. This is a very peculiar area, a wetland with the presence of many species of birds, including several protected. The Pèlags de Vilobí have the interesting feature that four different environmental spaces come together in the same area: rock, forestry, agriculture and water. [ The pelagics - also called the cuttings - appeared as a result of the gypsum extraction activity that dates back to Roman times and has been typical of Vilobí until 1993. Since it stopped being extracted stone, a natural space has been formed consisting of four pelagics. The concentration of runoff water has given rise to its characteristic crescent shape and the particular ecosystem that has developed in the environment. It has very interesting and very peculiar landscapes such as the quarries themselves, and a very peculiar fauna and flora. This microecosystem formed by the Vilobí pelagics contrasts sharply with the wine landscape of the Alt Penedès region. Wikiloc dixit
