Top 4 Caves 산티아고-폰톤스 주변

The Cueva del Agua in Santiago-Pontones is an impressive karst formation located in the Sierra de Segura, in Jaén. This cave is known for its natural beauty and spectacular surroundings, which include waterfalls and rich vegetation.

This spring located in the village of La Toba, flows very cold water in summer and warm in winter (although the water is always at the same temperature), inviting anyone to cool off or fill up with fresh water.

Right next to the village of La Toba is the so-called Nacimiento de la Toba, a birthplace with singular beauty where water flows from a cave. Later, the water thrown by this source runs through the village of La Toba until it falls over a waterfall, which in times of rain when the riverbed is abundant, presents one of the most striking landscapes in Santiago-Pontones. To access the Nativity of La Toba we must drive to the village of La Toba and then walk a little until we find the Nativity. The village can be reached by taking the Despiernacaballos road, whose intersection is located on the road that connects Santiago de la Espada and Pontones or from Santiago de La Espada taking the road that takes us to Miller, JV-7107, once Once we arrive at Las Juntas de Miller we will continue along the JF-7038 highway that will take us to La Toba.

At the entrance to Poyotello –a small and singular village belonging to the municipality of Santiago Pontones– a path starts that continuously descends and will take us to the water cave. From the Cueva del Agua we can continue the path, which always runs parallel to the Segura riverbed until it ends at the village of Huelga Utrera.

This spring of crystalline waters emanates from a cave located in the village of La Toba (at the foot of the Anchuricas reservoir) and becomes a mighty stream that runs through the town until it falls off a waterfall. The water is about 7 °C.

It is a huge natural cave from which abundant pure and fresh water flows, which in just a few meters adds to the Segura river that passes very close.
