Detailed itinerary

At A Coruña’s municipality of Dumbría we will visit the well-known waterfall of ‘Ezaro, a natural wonder formed by River Xallas at its mouth when it flows into the Atlantic from a height of 40 metres (more than 130ft). There a wooden walkway will alow us to reach the base of the waterfall, thus watching this beautifully natural show at the front line. From the Ézaro Viewpoint we can enjoy an exceptional view of both the waterfall and the port. Close to the waterfall we can also visit an old power plant refurbished into a Museum of Electricity.
