カラタウナスの天然記念物・トップ18

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!

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.

If you want to access the viewpoint, you just have to walk along a paved road that takes you there in a gentle climb. The views from above are spectacular: you can see the high mountains of Sierra Nevada, as well as the entire Poqueira ravine and its three famous towns: Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira.

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.

Tajos del Ángel viewpoint one of the best places to rest from the long and intense climb to the vane from the coast

It is an excellent viewpoint with a beautiful panoramic view of one of the valleys on the southern slope of the Sierra Nevada. In the valley you can see the towns of Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira, as well as the Poqueira river.

This viewpoint is located at a crossroads that leads you to the Capileira ascent. If you want to get to Veleta, it is the traditional climb and highly requested by MTB mountaineers. While you decide which path to choose, I recommend that you stop for a moment and contemplate the incredible panoramic views.

This waterfall is a good example of the force with which the waters of the Poqueira River fall, traditionally used for irrigation and today for power generation.
