Cascada de Pedrosa de Tobalina, Waterfall in Valle de Tobalina, Spain.
The Cascada de Pedrosa de Tobalina is a waterfall in northern Spain where water drops roughly 20 meters over rock formations, creating a series of cascading tiers. The surrounding vegetation frames the falls, with natural pools collecting water below that vary in depth and size.
The cascade took shape over centuries as the Jerea River persistently carved through rock, gradually forming the geological landscape visible today. This slow natural process created the distinctive layered structure visitors encounter.
The cascade serves as a gathering place where locals celebrate seasonal occasions and find refuge from daily life, a role it has held for generations. The pools and water channels have long been central to how the community connects with their natural surroundings.
You can reach the waterfall through marked trails starting from Pedrosa de Tobalina village, with parking near roads BU-550 or BU-532. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground becomes slippery, especially after rain or when the rocks are wet.
An old mill stands near the cascade, preserved as part of the area's heritage and revealing how the water was once used for work. Stone steps lead to it, offering a view into how communities historically relied on the water's power.

Spain has many natural swimming pools located throughout the country. You can find river pools nestled in green valleys, pools surrounded by mountains and forests, and formations of volcanic rock along the coast. The water is clear and inviting, perfect for cooling off during the hot months. From Las Chorreras del Cabriel in Cuenca to the hot springs of Montanejos in Castellón, there is something to discover in each region. In northern Spain, pools like Sant Aniol d'Aguja in Girona and Pozas de Mougás in Pontevedra show where rivers have carved out natural basins. In the south and on the islands, different types of swimming spots appear: El Caletón on Tenerife and Los Charcones on Lanzarote are volcanic pools right at the edge of the sea. These places reveal different aspects of Spain. Each region has its own character—some pools sit deep in gorges, others open onto river landscapes. Swimming here means experiencing nature directly, away from crowds and chlorine. Local people and visitors come to these spots for genuine outdoor swimming in authentic settings.
