This region has been producing wine since the 12th century. Although the fountain has only been installed ( early 1990s) its been a tradition for pilgrims to fortify themselves with the wine along thier journey.
Its a pretty good marketing tool too for Bodegas the major wine company too.. They've even installed a webcam. Far out.
Sadly, there used to be mugs for pilgrms to drink from at the fountain, but they kept getting stolen.. So there is a vending machine selling plastic glasses.
I have to say, the wine was really good... And I hate red wine.. Normally.
