    Tips

    The route to the Malena Waterfall begins in Cazorla and is ideal for the whole family. It is a circular route that follows the Cerezuelo River. Along the way, you will enter a narrow gorge, crossing wooden bridges and enjoying the rich riverside vegetation. The first section of the trail will take you to the Malena waterfall itself. Near the waterfall is the Cueva de la Malena, which, according to the elders, was a refuge for bandits during the time of the reconquest. The cave is also shrouded in legends, such as that of the Tragantía, whose song warned: “I am the tragantía, daughter of the Moorish king; "Whoever hears me sing will not see the light of day." Since then, the cave has remained virtually inaccessible due to undergrowth that makes access difficult.

      This beautiful waterfall is at the source of the Cerezuelo River, also called the Cazorla River. At its feet a pool has formed that when it accumulates allows you to bathe.
