Fervenza do Ézaro

The Fervenza do Ézaro forms a 40-meter cascade where the Xallas River drops directly into the Atlantic Ocean near the municipality of Dumbría.

The waterfall remained inactive during much of the 20th century due to a hydroelectric plant until environmental regulations restored its flow in 2011.

The natural formation holds numerous local legends, with tales connecting the waterfall to ancient Galician myths and folklore passed through generations.

Visitors can access multiple viewing platforms via wooden walkways from the parking area, with the complete circuit taking approximately 45 minutes.

This natural formation stands as the only waterfall in continental Europe where a river flows directly into the sea without forming an estuary.
