Un lugar precioso rodeado de pinar y montañas rocosas, de cuya mitad mana una gran catarata. El camino de subida se hace difícil ya que, en tramos, está compuesto de escalones excesivamente altos, convirtiendo la subida en un nivel alto de dificultad para las personas mayores. Eso sí, tiene una fuerte barandilla de hierro para evitar caídas al vacío. Recomiendo visitarlo; es espectacular.
