Cascada de Pedrosa de Tobalina

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.
