Discovering Galicia... Northern Spain<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On our route to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, we came up with the idea of jumping into a river, and preferably under some waterfalls...\ud83d\ude43 A quick search of a map of the area and we found... a lovely narrow river that was lost between dense trees....<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We turned off the main road and ventured onto a narrow forest path. At its end, we parked at a small lot, where the sound of rushing water greeted us. From here, you can access \ud83d\udccc Fervenza de Parafita, a beautiful woodland trail that partly follows a wooden walkway along the Valga River. Here, you'll also find remnants of old mills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After crossing the wooden bridges, we reached a small waterfall. The guys + the dog \ud83d\ude42 immediately jumped into the water, and after taking a few photos, I also ended up in a small cove... fantastic feeling - an icy refreshment, a reset for the body!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I adore such hideaways... they don't draw crowds of tourists, which offers unparalleled intimacy and tranquility. The uninterrupted sound of flowing water creates a space to revel in the beauty of undisturbed nature. Encountering local plants, animals, and unique ecosystems that often form around these natural oases is an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of nature does not always manifest itself in the size or popularity of a place. Small, secluded green enclaves can surprise you with their uniqueness and subtlety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS I love our spontaneous ideas that end up letting us explore more than we initially planned<\/em><\/strong>… \ud83c\udf3f<\/p>\n\n\n
