Cascada de Gujuli (Cascada de Goiuri)
Cascada de Gujuli was one of several waterfalls that we encountered between Burgos and Bilbao. And like many of the ones that we saw during our mid-June 2015 visit to the area, this 100m tall…
Salto del Nervion
Of all the waterfalls that we encountered between Burgos and Bilbao, Salto del Nervion (or more accurately Salto del Nervión with the accent) by far was the best performer. Not only were we…
Cascada de Orbaneja del Castillo (Cascada de las Merindades)
The Cascada de Orbaneja del Castillo (I’ve also seen it called Cascada de Merindades) was an example of how a waterfalling motive to visit a particular area could yield hidden surprises. In this…
Cascada La Mea
Cascada La Mea (or Cascada de la Mea) was an unexpected waterfalling excursion for us. The only reason why we visited the nearby town of Puentedey was to check out the impressive natural bridge…
Cascada de Pedrosa de Tobalina
The Cascada de Pedrosa de Tobalina was where the Río Jerea plunged some 10-15m over a wide slab of bedrock within the namesake town of Pedrosa de Tobalina. Unlike most of the waterfalls that we had…
Cascada de Penaladros
The Cascada de Penaladros (or more accurately, Cascada de Peñaladros) was where the rushing Río San Miguel dropped some 15m into a lush ravine. In fact, what really got our attention about this…
Cascada de Nocedo (Cascada de Valdecesar or Cola de Caballo)
The Cascada de Nocedo at first glance seemed like a pretty ordinary waterfall. However, when we paid more attention to its somewhat tight surroundings within a small chasm, we realized that there…
Waterfalls of the Cares Gorge
The waterfalls of the Cares Gorge page was basically my excuse to talk about the famous hike that quite possibly was the quintessential Picos de Europa experience. But it turned out that there was…
Salto do Coro
Salto do Coro was kind of our waterfalling break as we made the long drive between Santiago de Compostela and Ribadeo. Although it wasn’t big (probably 10-15m tall), it had a lush and intimate…
Fervenza do Ezaro
The Fervenza do Ezaro (or Fervenza do Ézaro with the accent) was a pleasant waterfalling surprise for us as it was a high-volume waterfall set amidst a windswept rocky landscape all within…
Fervenza do Toxa
The Fervenza do Toxa was our first taste of waterfalling in the lush Galicia Region of Spain in the country’s northwest. The thing that really stood out to us about this excursion was that there…
Pozo de los Humos
Pozo de los Humos (meaning well of smoke) was one of those semi-remote out-of-the-way waterfalls not far from the Spanish-Portugese border that was really our waterfalling excuse to visit the…
Cascadas del Monasterio de Piedra
The Monasterio de Piedra (Stone Monastery) was a natural park that featured countless waterfalls. In fact, we were so overwhelmed by the sheer number of waterfalls that were flowing throughout the…
Cascada de los Litueros (Cascada de Somosierra)
The Cascada de los Litueros (also called Cascada de Somosierra or Chorrera de los Litueros) felt like one of those relatively hidden locals-only waterfalls even though it was somewhat visible…
Nacimiento del Rio Cuervo
The Nacimiento del Rio Cuervo (or Río Cuervo with the accent) popularly referred to the waterfall or cascada that would typically flow over a series of bush-clad travertine walls and alcoves…
Cascada del Molino
The Cascada del Molino literally stole the show away from the disappointing Nacimiento del Río Cuervo during our early June visit in 2015. Indeed as you can see from the photo at the top of this…
Cascada de la Cimbarra
The Cascada de la Cimbarra was said to be one of the top waterfalls in the Andalucía (or Andalusia; pronounced “ahn-dah-loo-SEE-ah”) region of Spain (though it was actually quite close to the…
Cascada de Linarejos
The Cascada de Linarejos was our waterfalling excuse to check out the mountains of the Sierra de Cazorla. However, as you can see from the photo at the top of this page, this 60m tall waterfall…
Fuente Agria
The Fuente Agria was really our waterfalling excuse to talk about the beautiful city of Granada as well as to visit the white towns of Las Alpujarras in the Sierra Nevada range of Southern Spain…
Cascada de Cueva del Gato
The Cascada de Cueva del Gato was an interesting waterfall that originated from a stream spilling out of the mouth of the Cueva del Gato (Cat Cave). I thought of this as our waterfalling excuse…
