F. Seral y Casas, wrote in 1934: the story of this water is similar to so many others in their rural connotations. And, according to the testimonies that have been gathered, these waters enjoyed great prestige among the people from the area, because of some of their healing properties. There is a very eloquent fact that illustrates this fame, already spread in the region by then. From the vila del Campo, where the road ended, to the fountain, there was a four hour ride on mule's back. In spite of the dangers of the trip and the little comfort to be found in the village houses, people from all over the region happily faced the risks and troubles of the ride so they could stay close to the fountain for some days.

In 1908, Mr. Manuel Camo, a chemist and a neighbor of Huesca, perceived the great fame and name enjoyed by these waters in the area and was convinced of their therapeutical efficiency. So he began to write a report to declare them of public utility. Since then, the affluence of visitors started to increase and it also spread enormously the fame of the waters, past the local areas and starting to extend over the neighboring provinces. The increasing number of visitors and the solid reputation of results that took place determined, already by 1931, the creation of a business company that attempted its exploitation. This company carried out the first hygienic capturing of the water and it built the first premises, in which those first bottling operations were carried out. By 1932, a hotel was built and the access was improved, so automobiles could get there after a picturesque drive. It was finally declared as Mineral Medicinal water in 1958 (BOE Nº 120).

Recently, Grupo COBEGA, S.A., a company of great prestige and a long tradition in the bottling and distribution of carbonic drinks, has purchased the fountain, thus starting an integral process of industrial and technological renovation, aiming to position the new water Vilas del Turbón as the number one National Gourmet Water in the market. The Grupo Cobega logo provides the reliability and guarantee needed for such a business adventure.
