Description
It is situated in Calle del Vall which street came into being in modern times and is so named because of its position at the foot the medieval wall, in the moat (vall in valenciano). During the 18th century El Vall became the main street in Xixona where the ancient and noble families of the town had their houses, where the weekly market was held and where the Moors and Christians Festival took place.
This watering trough is to be found at the southern entrance to the town by the bridge and was used by travellers’ mounts arriving from Alicante. With the passing of time a drinking fountain was installed for public use.
