The hiking trail through a mining enclave that leads to a wild waterfall with a local legend
There are thousands of hiking trails spread across Spain that end at incredible waterfalls surrounded by fascinating nature. In the province of Huelva, there are many routes that lead to spectacular waterfalls, although perhaps one of the least known to trekking enthusiasts is the one that leads to the Demonia Waterfall, located on the border with Portugal and which undoubtedly amazes all who visit it.
This stunning waterfall is located in the municipality of El Granado, near the Guadiana Greenway. This spectacular waterfall is not only hidden among dense vegetation, but also requires a fantastic trail to reach it, starting from the historic Puerto de la Laja, a former mining site on the banks of the river. This splendid route is perfect for spending a day immersed in Huelva's most beautiful nature .
The route to the Demonia Waterfall, in HuelvaThis fantastic trail, just over seven kilometers long, starts from the Puerto de La Laja itself, so you'll also pass by old mining facilities along the way. Along the way, you'll cross beautiful wooden bridges over the stream, as well as stretches flanked by lush vegetation, making this route one of the most beautiful in the entire province of Huelva.
Once at the waterfall, hikers who dare to complete this wonderful route will be amazed by the impressive waterfall they can see, as the water cascades powerfully from the rock walls. In addition to the wooden bridges, the route also features several footbridges along the banks of the Guadiana (especially in the initial sections) and forest trails that add even more charm to the journey.
This trail is fairly easy to hike, making it perfect for a day trip with the whole family. Plus, you can always extend the route to reach the town of Pomarão, a Portuguese village of just 860 inhabitants located right on the banks of the Guadiana River, within Portuguese territory. Therefore, it's one of the best options for hikers in the southern Iberian Peninsula to explore unknown but beautiful places.
