Baños de Popea, Córdoba, Natural waterfall in Sierra Morena, Córdoba, Spain.
The waterfall forms where Bejarano and Molino streams meet, creating pools surrounded by dense pine forests and riverside vegetation.
Ancient Roman and Arab structures, including aqueducts, mills, and fountains, remain near the waterfall, indicating centuries of human water management.
The site received its name from local poets who associated the natural pools with Poppaea Sabina, wife of Emperor Nero, who favored milk baths.
A 6-kilometer circular trail leads visitors through the area, requiring approximately 4 hours to complete with moderate elevation changes.
The geological formation includes limestone tobas in the stream channels, which create the characteristic cascading water features.
