The second in my Obscure Arizona series.
Fountain Hills, AZ :: A Massive Fountain
About 20 minutes outside of Phoenix, this is a retiree town nestled into a huge mountain range. That justifies the ‘Hills’ portion of the name, what about the ‘Fountain’? Oh wait, it is home to the world’s 5th tallest fountain, shooting a mere 560+ feet into the air. It is absofuckinlutely ridiculous. I do not know what the point of this fountain is other than to look like a huge pee stream.
I did find a great little Spanish restaurant though: Sofrita. It’s ran by a couple and they served SUPER sweet but super delicious sangria. Reminded me of a little Spanish cafe where I would waste my day away sipping cafe con leche & eavesdropping on Spaniards. Oh Espana…
Other than those two places & a sports bar, I didn’t explore too much of the city. Will be heading back to hike there soon!
