The interplay of stream, gorge and waterfalls makes the course of the Arroyo Morles a distinctive landscape feature.

Culture and Village Character

The spring at the Fuente y Lavadero de La Hueta was restored in 2012 and provides drinking water before the famous route to the Cascadas de la Hueta begins. The washhouse, spring and route combine an element of the village character with the starting point for the walk to the waterfalls.
