Photo Friday! Where In Spain Is This?

The winner of Photo Friday for this fountain gets seven free pigeons as pets. You may be the lucky one.

They cool, gurgle, soothe, and clink to the sound of lucky coins. You will see many fountains as you travel in Spain. Peaceful fountains, he theme for Photo Friday for this month. Most fountains did not start out to be glamorous but as places to bathe, wash clothes, and fill pottery jugs with water
