So important was the spring that it gave its <strong>name to the town: <a href=\"https:\/\/lapalmaisland.com\/en\/fuencaliente-la-palma\/\">Fuencaliente<\/a>, literally &#8220;hot fountain&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In November 1677, the eruption of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lapalmaisland.com\/en\/san-antonio-volcano-la-palma\/\">San Antonio volcano<\/a> buried the spring beneath thick lava, pushing the coastline 400 meters further into the ocean.<\/strong> The site was lost for centuries, surrounded by myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In 2005, after extensive geological studies, the spring was rediscovered, with waters still reaching 60\u202f\u00b0C beneath the surface of the new volcanic delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Fuente Santa remains hidden underground, a symbol of resilience and healing. <strong>The Canary Islands Government has plans to tap into this thermal source and develop a spa in the future<\/strong>, bringing back to life one of La Palma\u2019s most powerful natural wonders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full
