    A wonderful very close to the main street place, easy access... has few services but is a quite natural place... a beautiful waterfall which falls into a kind of Lake, perfect for swimming, ideal for lovers of photography... sometimes fills both seems a spa... so if you're going to take pictures it is better to go during the week or early... they open at 8 am in spite that on their website says that they open at 7. It's worth the visit.
