The recent history of Marmolejo is linked to its water and hot springs. With less than 4000 inhabitants, this small town dedicated mainly to farming, used the term ‘ the 3rd harvest’ to refer to all the economical improvement generated by the spa. Marmolejo’s hot springs were both kept in bottles and also used as a spa for 185 years till the Guadalquivir river floods ended up with the place. It was reopened again in 2004 by the Town Council, but a new flood from the river would end up with the dream just 5 years later.
