Font de s'Ermita
Font de s'Ermita , also popularly known as Font de na Bernada , is a spring in the Spanish municipality of Artà in the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean island of Mallorca .
It is located in the mountain range de Serres Llevant belonging mountains of Arta about 500 meters east of the Ermita de Betlem . At the source, the hiking trail runs from the Ermita de Betlem to Betlem or to S'Alqueria Vella d'Avall . The spring, which also carries water in summer, was used by the residents of the Ermita de Betlem to irrigate the areas adjacent to the west where fruit and vegetables were grown. It drains into the Torrent de Betlem .
The area around the spring is shaded by large plane trees. Next to the spring there is a so-called Lourdes grotto , in which a Madonna figure is set up, adored by Saint Bernadette . The figure refers to the apparition of Mary from Lourdes . Hence the popular name for the source.
