During my hike along the Camino de Santiago, I was most impressed by all of the ancient architecture. There are so many old churches and military structures all over the area. However when doing my research, I also looked for interesting natural sites. The Fervenzas do Barosa (or waterfalls of Barosa) is one such site along my path.
I was moving pretty fast today, but one of my friends managed to catch me while I sat down for a short break at a café along the Camino. I told him of my plan to take a slight detour and visit the waterfalls. He seemed interested, but in the end, decided to continue pushing towards our endpoint for the day. The detour turned out to be no more than half-a-mile and well worth the diversion.
The waterfalls are contained within a small park. After crossing a wooden bridge, I walked right up to the pool at the bottom of the cascading waterfalls. A few other people were here taking in the natural wonder, which plummets around 180 feet over the series of cascades. It's quite beautiful and was a nice distraction from all of the road walking I have been doing this morning.
