Remains of a hydraulic mill that, although not impressive in themselves, what is wonderful is its location. Now it was summer and in full heat wave and the waterfall without water, but in spring-autumn it is a real wonder to see the waterfall as it joins the roar of the sea.

Hiking

The Bolao Cliff is a stunning natural setting on the coast of Cantabria, Spain, between Cóbreces and Toñanes. It is famous for the El Bolao waterfall, which falls directly into the sea, and for the ruins of a medieval mill. The landscape combines the green meadows with the rugged Cantabrian Sea coast, offering spectacular views.
