class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a village of medieval origin. For centuries the council of Ponferrada and the monastery of Carracedo went to law over the Fabero pasture, between Ponferrada and Carracedelo, which shows how valuable these lands were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Population<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With about 2,600 residents, it is today a residential district of the Ponferrada area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Economy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the city has gained ground, vegetable plots, flowers, greenhouses and vineyards survive, along with some cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The Cantalobos industrial estate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cantalobos industrial estate, one of the first in the district, provides work for much of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fuentes Nuevas has the services of a city:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hospital del Bierzo<\/strong>, the district&#8217;s main hospital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Care home for the elderly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondary school and primary school.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Health centre, pharmacy and civic centre.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sports hall and municipal swimming pools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several city bus lines link it with Ponferrada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Corners of the village<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The residents keep place names with a long history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>La Cogolla<\/strong>, a former communal oak wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>El Cachap\u00f3n<\/strong>, a traditional bathing spot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La cuesta de la iglesia<\/strong>, where the village began.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>La fuente de los Perales<\/strong>, with its washhouse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Valdemol\u00edn<\/strong>, where there was a mill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>El Poblado<\/strong>, houses for the families displaced by the B\u00e1rcena reservoir.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Religious buildings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora<\/strong>, with an 18th-century altarpiece and a stork&#8217;s nest on the tower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hermitage of the Divino Cristo<\/strong>, Baroque, from 1662, beside the Camino.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spanish is spoken, but with a strong Galician accent, the legacy of centuries of ties with western El Bierzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Traditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In autumn the <strong>magosto<\/strong> is celebrated, with roast chestnuts and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Festivities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Corpus Christi (June)<\/strong>, at the hermitage of the Cristo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nuestra Se\u00f1ora and San Roque (August)<\/strong>, with:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Sardine festival.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Procession of Light<\/em>, with candles through the streets at nightfall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">In short<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fuentes Nuevas<\/strong> is more district than village, with the Bierzo hospital and every service, but it keeps its hermitage of the Cristo and its age-old festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Country<\/th><td
