カラタウナスの滝・トップ6

Experiences from November 2025: Access to the river from both sides is blocked and clearly marked with prohibition signs! At the marked location, there is a narrow bridge without railings. There is no sign of the waterfall or the attractive wooden bridge with railings shown in the photos by "expert" Oliver! The circular routes indicated under this trail are therefore completely unusable if you adhere to the prohibitions and barriers! We had to turn back and, unfortunately, retrace our steps. Very frustrating!

An impressive structure. When the water starts flowing over the top, it must have rained a lot in those mountains!

The Tajo de Cortés Waterfall is an impressive waterfall located in the Alpujarra Granadina, near the towns of Pitres and Pórtugos in Andalusia. Two routes that will take you to this beautiful waterfall: Sendero PR-A 29 from Pórtugos or the somewhat shorter Circular Route from Pitres.

The Lanjarón River rises in the high mountain of Sierra Nevada, under the peak of Veleta, and runs through the Lanjarón valley until it passes through the town of the same name and empties into the Rules dam.

This is a waterfall that we find on the hiking route from Lanjaron to the Tello refuge, along the path or path of the Mezquerina ditch in the section specifically of the Montalban ditch.

Cool place to spend the night on the dike

We are on a dam in the middle of the Sierra Nevada, more specifically in the Alpujarra of Granada, precisely on a route for both hiking and MTB, which begins in the town of Soportujar, a town in Granada, Alpujarra, known for its sculptures and picturesque legends about witches and spells. The route begins in the town and ends at the Puente Palo free camping area, but we pass through a dam called dam 24, built in 1943, through which the Chico river passes, which is born on the slopes of Veleta. In said dam we can appreciate some ponds. refreshing in summer and a great waterfall that forms with the first thaws.

Pretty dike, known by mountaineers and hikers as "Dike 24". We find it on the climb from Soportújar to the Puente Palo recreational area, bathed by the Chico River that rises on the slopes of Veleta Peak. Construction of this dam began in 1940 and was completed in 1943. In order to see it in its full splendor, it is advisable to go during the Sierra Nevada snowmelt season.
