The Guadazaón River Waterfall is a small natural waterfall located along the Guadazaón River—a tributary of the Cabriel—in the province of Cuenca, in Castilla-La Mancha. It is located in the municipality of Yémeda, one kilometer from the town center, in an area known as El Molino del Obispo, where the river forms a small waterfall surrounded by riparian vegetation and wetlands. The setting features a mountain riverbed with meanders and a small drop that creates interconnected pools, forming a natural oasis within the Serranía Baja mountain range of Cuenca. From the viewing point, visitors can observe the modestly sized waterfall, with water flowing gently over the rocky bed, creating a peaceful and evocative atmosphere. The site is notable for its combination of water, vegetation, and the historical presence of a former sulfur-water spa—now closed—which lends the area heritage significance. The area is protected as part of the Guadazaón River Natural Reserve, a designation that ensures the conservation of the riverbed and its biological environment. The best time to visit is during spring or summer, when the water flow is most consistent and the vegetation is in full bloom. The morning light or the sunset lends a particularly serene atmosphere to the site, ideal for contemplation and relaxation in a natural setting that is not overrun by tourists.
