The name Fuendebaños is related to the spring situated downstream. Its waters flow from the ground at a constant temperature so giving a sensation of warmth, even in winter. In many medieval documents it is recorded as Fontes Caldos (warm fount.)
This bridge is also known as the Asque Bridge because the footpath on the left bank goes up river to Colungo and Naval.
