Description

El Salto del Nervión is the highest waterfall in Spain. The water only falls in times of rain (best times to see the waterfall are spring and autumn). The Mirador del Salto del Nervión is located on Mount Santiago. After a walk along a pleasant path through a beech forest, you can see Gåsegribb flying over the cliffs of the waterfall. Also good for observing other birds of prey and birds like Alpekråke, Ravn and Klippesvale.
