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…
Cascadas de Huesna (Cascadas del Hueznar)
The Cascadas de Huesna (I’ve also seen it referred to as the Cascadas del Hueznar or more accurately Cascadas del Huéznar with the accent) was a series of modest-sized waterfalls near the small…
“Cascada de Ronda”
“Cascada de Ronda” was the name that I’m dubbing this attractive waterfall, where the Río Guadalevín (Deep River) that tumbled some 25m or so beneath the impressive Puente Nuevo (New Bridge)…
Cascades d’Akchour
The Cascades d’Akchour consisted of a lower waterfall and a much taller upper waterfall (pictured above) as well as a handful of other modest waterfalls and cascades sharing the same stream as the…
Source de Ras el-Maa
The Source Ras el-Maa was really my waterfalling excuse to talk about the magical blue medina of Chefchaouen (pronounced “shef-SHAU-wun”). We managed to encounter a handful of small cascades…

The Sources Oum er-Rbia was said to be where some 40 springs feed the beginning of Morocco’s second largest river (said to be over 600km) eventually making its way into the Atlantic Ocean at…
Cascades d’Ouzoud
Cascades d’Ouzoud (or Ouzoud Falls) was really the main waterfalling reason for us to even consider going to Morocco. It’s rare for us to experience a waterfall of this magnitude cutting through…
Imi n’Ifri Waterfalls
The Imi n’Ifri Waterfalls were essentially my waterfalling excuse to talk about the impressive natural bridge of Imi n’Ifri. In fact, when Julie and I planned for our trip to Morocco, we wanted to…
