Salto del Usero, Natural waterfall in Bullas, Spain
The waterfall creates a four-meter drop into a natural pool formed by the Mula River, surrounded by limestone rock formations and Mediterranean vegetation.
Archaeological findings near the waterfall indicate human settlements dating back to ancient civilizations who utilized the water source for agricultural purposes.
During the Night of San Juan, residents gather at the waterfall to participate in the Bajada de la Mora celebration, based on a tale of star-crossed lovers.
Visitors can access the waterfall through marked trails from Bullas, with optimal viewing conditions during spring when water flows are at their peak.
The erosion of the river created travertine formations along the waterfall, resulting in a series of natural terraces and pools called vaeras.
