シエラデテヘダ国立公園、アルミハライアルハマの滝・トップ8

The sinter crusts of the lime-rich water make the tree trunks trapped in the waterfall appear petrified. Hence the common name "Cascada de los Arboles Petrificados" (Petrified Trees Cascade). However, these are not petrified trees, but mineral deposits in flowing water that cover both rocks and plants (sinter). Source: Wikiloc

Currently, a section of 800 meters is still heavily overgrown, with huge rosemary and sage bushes, as well as thorns. It's best to bring a stick or something similar to push them away. However, the view is unique, and the spring is a dream.

In March 2025 there was a lot of water flowing, a trip is then only possible with suitable water shoes. We did not have that and returned.

The riverbed of the Rio Higueron, which dries up in summer, is a wonderful place to walk in summer. It is shaded in long sections by huge oleander bushes, which are particularly beautiful when they are in bloom. In the Frigiliana area, there is a large difference in height of around 10 m. There is a staircase there, but it is not immediately visible, so keep your eyes open.

Sadly no water in the river bed, but still nice to look at.

Pool formed by a large waterfall in the Verde River, perfect for bathing although sometimes it can be quite crowded.

Spectacular geological formation. The erosion caused by the passage of water has left large grooves in the limestone rock.

Incredible views of the river bed. Be careful, it is a route where it is very hot in summer.
