2nd of July
Let’s go to the Western part of Sierra Espadán to hike to Salto de la Novia waterfall (yes, it has the same name as the other waterfall in Navajas). At the end of the hike we will also be able to bathe at the natural pool, right next to the town.
Salto de la Novia waterfall
Salto de la Novia is a beautiful place where the water from the Las Salinas ravine forms a small pool of fresh water and the waterfall that rushes into it. It is located about 3 km from Cirat and is highly appreciated by its neighbors and visitors. In Salto de la Novia you can find native flora of small rivers, sometimes it receives the visit of numerous birds such as the white wagtail. You can also see the Hispanic goat, although it is a bit difficult to coincide with them.
