The spring is easily accessible as it's located by the side road. Actually the road leads only to the barge crossing of the river, a historical thing which was shut down due to the redundancy created by the construction of multiple bridges. However the Town Hall decided to rehabilitate the crossing and the surrounding area.
There is a sign near the spring and a newly placed table with chairs.
The structure involving the spring, made of natural stone is older. For centuries the locals have been using this spring, called Fonte dos Amores (Spring of Love) due to it's reputation of meeting spot for lovers.
