The Site
The Fuente de Foncalada is a public fountain of potable water
that was erected over a spring outside the city walls of Oviedo. It
was built by King Alfonso III of Asturias in the ninth century and
is considered to be one of the most important pre-romanesque
monuments of Oviedo.

The Cache
The cache is a small cylinder (about 30mm diameter, 30mm high),
manufactured from the necks and caps of two plastic water bottles.
Due to its small size, it contains only a logbook, no writing
material (no pens or pencils). The container can be opened on both
sides, which makes it easier to retrieve and replace the
logbook.
Attention: The cache is not hidden directly at or
in the monument called Fuente de Foncalada (this would be against
cache hiding rules anyway). So please do not rummage around this
ancient monument as you could spoil or break something. If you
have trouble finding the cache, seek help from Google Earth, which
shows the cache location fairly precisely, or use the encrypted
hint.
When you hide the cache again, please make sure that it cannot
be seen from anywhere, especially not from the Fuente de
Foncalada.
