The delightful “Cascada Pantano Elche” waterfalls, its lake & nature trails are 25 minutes drive from the Hondon Valley. [Google Map]. These beautiful waterfalls near Aspe/Elche are perfect for a walk. Flowing rivers are a rarity in the very dry Costa Blanca, so it is a nice change to see the river and its dammed waterfall.
There are various car parks close by, however to actually get to the Waterfalls it is a 20-minute steady walk. We recommend you use suitable footwear for the dusty, rugged tracks. Try to avoid the hot midday heat too.
There are no catering facilities, so take some food & drink as there are plenty of picnic tables. You can also climb up the steps to see the Rio Vinalopó / Lake which is the source of the waterfall, actually a functioning hydroelectric dam.
Here is a video with original music by The Hutch. Enjoy.
