On foot, by bike, by car and real accessibility
This information helps you choose the right kind of visit. Clot de la Font can be enjoyed in several ways, but not every part of the site has the same level of accessibility.
This is one of the most recommended ways to visit. From Tavernes it can be planned as a walk to the site or as part of a longer route through the Ombria.
The approach can be made by bike along paths and access sections, with care. Inside the site, it is best to move around on foot and respect the rest area.
You can reach the surrounding area by access roads and park only where permitted, without blocking paths, natural areas or emergency access.
Accessibility parcial. There are comfortable seating areas, but also stairways, uneven terrain, steep slopes, and proximity to water. It should not be presented as fully accessible.
The spring, the Badell and the historic fountain
Clot de la Font has been linked to water for generations. The Badell, a tributary of the River Vaca, rises here in a mountain and shaded setting that explains much of its landscape value.
A water source on the slopes of the Ombria
The site is located on the slopes of the Ombria mountain. The water that emerges from the spring has shaped the identity of the place and its use as an area for rest, meeting and walking.
The historic tourism page also mentions reports of a possible lithic industry workshop linked to the Palaeolithic and Neolithic sites in the Bolomor ravine.
More than 160 years of water memory
The large historic fountain, painted white, stands above the spring. The water gathers in the fountain basin and then falls as a small cascade or weir.
The site preserves a totem built in 2010 to mark the fountain’s 150th anniversary, a detail that strengthens the link between hydraulic heritage and local memory.
A shaded ecosystem within the Ruta dels Sentits
Clot de la Font forms part of the Ruta dels Sentits and helps interpret the forest ecosystem associated with shaded areas: shade, moisture, pine trees, Mediterranean vegetation and the constant presence of water.
Water, shade and Mediterranean vegetation
The contrast between the spring area, the slope of the Ombria and the nearby fields helps explain the transition between agriculture, mountains and water spaces.
It is a good place to stop, listen to the water, observe the surroundings and connect the visit with other natural sites in Tavernes.
