It has traditionally been a watering hole for animals and pours its water into the Fuente del Escribano stream.

The Fuente del Escribano has a very low flow, approximately between 0-1 l / s, although it is rarely exhausted. The use of water from this spring is currently rural and livestock. Today the spring water is used very little, but in the past, during the last century, it was a source very frequented by the Arjonilleros, using part of it as a trough for the horses and the rest of the cattle, and another part for human supply. At the source the arjonilleros collected water, in pitchers and jugs, which they used for their domestic use, to cool off in agricultural work ...

There is no doubt that the picture presented by the Fuente del Escribano in the past, according to the testimonies that come to us from the mouths of the oldest, must have been endearing. Men and women with the pitcher on their back, or donkeys and pack animals that carried pitchers and jugs in their serones.
