A Corga da Fecha, one of the highest waterfalls in Galicia, can only be seen after heavy rainfall. The water runs into the River Calda which passes by the Balneario de Lobios spa, where you can park your car before continuing on foot along a track that two thousand years ago in Roman times was an important road linking Bracara Augusta (Braga) and Asturica Augusta (Astorga).

800 metres from the start of the path, before you cross the river, take a trail that climbs up to the left. It can’t be missed as a sign shows the way to go which leads to a first waterfall, which is just a taster of what is to come.

It you want to go up to the highest part, you need to climb a steep, rocky path with places to stop at different heights so you can take in the waterfall from different angles.

IMPORTANT: Take great care as you ascend, especially if the ground is wet.
