Chorro Grande, Wasserfall in Spanien
Chorro Grande is a waterfall in Segovia Province that drops about 80 meters down granite rocks in the Sierra de Guadarrama. The water flows through multiple cascades and collects in pools at the base, surrounded by pine and oak trees that frame the landscape.
The waterfall has been visited by people for generations who came to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The nearby town of La Granja de San Ildefonso and its royal gardens have shaped the history of this region for centuries.
The waterfall is most easily reached on foot starting from La Granja de San Ildefonso, where parking is available and dogs are welcome. The trail can be walked year-round and requires no special gear, though wet rocks and slopes demand caution when descending to the water.
During winter months, the waterfall can partially freeze, offering a different kind of beauty that attracts ice climbing enthusiasts. This seasonal transformation shows how nature completely reshapes the location depending on the time of year.
