Cascada de Maro, Mountain waterfall in Nerja, Spain
The Cascada de Maro flows down from the Sierra Almijara mountains through a limestone gorge, forming multiple tiers of falling water against white rock walls.
The waterfall served as a natural water source for local agricultural activities until 2011, when access became restricted due to construction barriers and safety measures.
The waterfall forms part of the natural heritage within the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, representing the regional landscape of Andalusia.
Access requires following calle Julio Romero from the Burriana beach roundabout to calle Mirto, then continuing past two white water tanks to reach the observation point.
During summer months, the waterfall creates natural pools at different levels where the water temperature maintains a constant 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
