The recent rain might have been destructive in some places but in others the result offers an impressive aquatic feature: the Maro waterfall as it plunges off the cliff.
On Sunday the 7th an abseiler drowned as he dangled on his rope, trapped beneath a waterfall after his tackle jammed.
Close to the town of Loja, which is the capital of the Poniente de Granada, or western Granada, Río Genil runs through a 20m-deep canyon, after flowing over a waterfall called, Cola de Caballo (Horse Tail).
Anybody that has driven along the A-323 as it passes through the canyon below Vélez Benaudalla cannot have failed to have been distracted by the manmade waterfall called Cañizares, which plummets down from a water channel above, before disappearing under the road – it is quite spectacular.
