Τα 20 καλύτερα φυσικά μνημεία Sedella

For this section, you'll definitely need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights. Some sections are very narrow, and the drop is quite steep. ;) If that's okay with you, the trail is really cool and a lot of fun!

In Torre del Mar, these striking trees grace the Paseo de Larios, one of the city's main promenades. The tree change from the original orange trees and plane trees to the Ceiba chodatii occurred in the 1920s, giving the area a unique tropical feel. Originally native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America, the Ceiba chodatii is now widespread in many parts of the world, particularly in Mediterranean climates such as the Costa del Sol. The Ceiba chodatii, known in South America as Palo Borracho, is an impressive tree. Its name "Palo Borracho" translates to "Drunk Tree" because of its distinctive bottle-shaped trunk, reminiscent of a drunken man. The tree is characterized by a thick, plump trunk that stores water and is covered in prickly thorns.

The white-flowered drunken bottle tree (Ceiba chodatii) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It is notable for its succulent, swollen trunk covered with spines and its buttress roots. The name palo borracho ("drunken tree"), which is common in Paraguay and Chile, is derived from the distinctive growth form of the trunk. The Argentinian name palo botella ("bottle tree") also refers to the same characteristics. - The genus Ceiba is closely related to the baobabs (genus Adansonia) in Africa and Australia, which also have quite unusual trunk shapes.

The new suspension bridge is the highlight of this hike. You should not be afraid of heights, but the bridge is very stable and sways very little. But the path there from Canillas de Aceituno is also just beautiful and relatively flat.

There is a beautiful suspension bridge over the gorge with the waterfall. I didn't find a path to the waterfall itself

The path to the waterfall is closed shortly after the junction to the suspension bridge! As of: March 2024

After the suspension bridge, the path goes steeply up through the wall, almost a kind of via ferrata, some of which have chains to hold on to. Surefootedness, strength and fitness are required. Going down is much more difficult than going up. Avoid on weekends because of crowds, even in January. Very nice when there is no crowd there.
