Siete Aguas

The town's name, Siete Aguas (seven waters), originated from the need to cross the Suc River seven times on sturdy wooden bridges integrated into the landscape when travelling to this area on the old Royal Road to Madrid.

Located at the edge of the foothills of the Sierra de las Cabritillas, Siete Aguas enjoys beautiful landscapes and a special microclimate very different from that of other villages also dedicated to the cultivation of vines. This uniqueness results in the harvesting of its own grapes with special characteristics, producing highly personalised and clearly autochthonous wines, with very pleasant surprises for the sight, smell and palate.

The real treasures of this town are its countless fountains, scattered throughout the municipality, in particular the Fuente de los Siete Caños, the Fuente de la Vallesa, the Fuente de Raidón and the Fuente de la Tejería or Fuente el Retiro, with transparent and medicinal waters that flow incessantly. The visitor can visit them by following the Fountains Route.

The 200-year-old church of San Juan Bautista, the 15th-century Flamboyant Gothic Cross (marking the boundary between the Kingdom of Valencia and the Kingdom of Castile), and the intriguing Municipal Archaeological Museum are of significant historical and cultural interest. As you journey from Valencia, the municipality of Siete Aguas commences in the Ventamina Valley. At this boundary lies an authentic 18th-century Casa de Postas, marking the starting point of this Wine Route.

The town's most notable celebrations honour its patron saint, San Juan Bautista, at the end of June, and the festivities in honour of the Saint Christ of the Afflicted, held during the first week of August.
