Polop & Fuente de los Chorros
Polop i Font dels Xorros
A hill village north of Benidorm with 221 differently designed bronze spouts feeding a fountain basin, the town's best-known water source.
Polop lies about 10 km north of Benidorm and is a classic white hill village in the Marina Baixa mountains. The 'Fountain Square' (Font dels Xorros), built in the 19th century, has 221 bronze spouts, each topped with a different carved face, and locals still carry buckets here to collect spring water. Above the village are the remains of a castle and an old cemetery, with views over the whole valley and the high-rise skyline of Benidorm in the distance. It makes a good day trip combined with Guadalest and the Algar Falls as a village circuit, and driving is the most convenient way to get around.
