Algar Waterfalls
Fuentes del Algar
A chain of waterfalls and emerald pools in a limestone gorge, with paths for watching the falls and natural pools for swimming in summer.
The Algar Waterfalls lie near Callosa d'En Sarrià. The Algar River forms a series of cascades and clear pools among the limestone. The park has trails and wooden boardwalks about 1.5 km long, plus a small ecology exhibition hall. In summer you can swim in designated pools, where the water is cool and refreshing even if chilly. Entry is charged, and weekends are crowded in peak season, so it is best to go on a weekday morning. Bring swimwear, non-slip shoes and a towel. Restaurants and a car park are nearby.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:30–18:00 (extended to 20:00 in summer)
