Around Arbúcies there are more than a hundred fonts, or water fountains, that have been identified within the municipality. This is yet another indication of the close and vital relationship the town has with water. In the different neighbourhoods of the town these include a number of so-called fonts de bomba, which use a hydraulic or manual water pump to draw water from the water table via a nearby well. There are six of these in total, and they are unique in that they are operated manually by pumping the water with a hand crank. The taps and mechanisms of these fountains were made by the Casals-Gómez foundry in Girona in 1908.
Font de Can Mero
This water fountain is located next to Can Mero, very close to the Can Jombo washhouse, the best preserved in Arbúcies.
