Gorgo de la Escalera (Anna)
A gorge of waterfalls and natural pools wedged between rock walls, part of the three-waterfalls route in Anna. The shady setting keeps the water cool even in high summer.
The Gorgo de la Escalera is a gorge wedged between rock walls in the Valencian interior, where the water forms a succession of waterfalls and natural pools. It's about 70 km from Valencia, in the municipality of Anna, within the Canal de Navarrés district. The corner is shady and damp, and a popular swimming spot in summer.
What to see
The gorge itself is the draw: the water drops through a series of falls and settles into pools of green and turquoise, framed by vegetation that keeps it shaded even at midday. It's a stop on the three waterfalls route in Anna, an easy walk linking several of the town's water spots.
