What to see and do in Fuente Carreteros

Fuente Carreteros
Village
One of the two youngest municipalities in the province, with 1,106 inhabitants (2018) in 9.26 km², beside the río Genil. It arose from Charles III's colonisation project (1767–1771), with settlers from Central Europe (Germans, Italians, Swiss, French); it became independent from Fuente Palmera in 2018. Its name recalls a now-vanished spring where the carters (carreteros) who transported chestnuts from the forests of Constantina to Écija used to stop for water.
