esCALDES a 74º / Spring at 74ºC
La famosa Font del Lleó, al cor de Caldes de Montbui, realment dona fè de venir del interior de la terra, amb els seus 74º de temperatura. Es pot tocar amb les mans, però gaire més d'un segón i pots quedar prou bullit!

===================================================
In the very center of Caldes de Montbui, a town in Catalonia, famous for it's hot baths, lays the main hot spring, La Font del Lleó (the Lion fountain). The original structure is at least from the XVI Century, but most of the sculptures arround it were built in 1929, with a lion presiding it all.
The spring is quite hot, with an all year long strea of 74ºC water. You can put your hand it the spring but just for a moment, or risk a real burn!
In Roman times a thermal complex was built just here and it's preserved, look at the picture to the side.
