Our next step after Huermeda was the Monasterio de Piedra, a monastery founded in Spain in an amazing valley filled with waterfalls. The volume of water flowing is just stunning.
The variety and number of waterfalls is impressive.
Roughly translated (by Google), this sign says "It is not the hammer that makes perfect pebbles, but the water, with its dance and song."
This was a good place to get sprayed with mist.
There were a lot of good interpretive panels, including this one explaining how different kinds of trees reach down to different depths to find their water.
More amazing waterfalls.
Another stunning feature.
The tallest waterfall at Monasterio de Piedra is a 60 meter drop, and you come across it at the high point, and go down caves cut into the rock to walk down to the base. Here's an example of the stairs inside the caves.
And a look down that big waterfall.
Some of the climb down is outside, despite most of it being in the caves.
Cielo took this nice picture of the middle of the falls.
Another look at the big waterfall.
Here's the big picture.
Eero thought it was pretty impressive.
It's a really great park, and we hardly saw anyone else while we were there.
