Cascada Gorgollón

The Gorgollón Waterfall is a natural waterfall located in the valley of Faedo, in the council of Cudillero, Asturias, which is accessed by a path from the river environment. It is a small-scale resource, linked to the humid and wooded landscape of the interior of Cudillero, better known for its beaches, and fits into the typology of a low mountain or valley waterfall. What interests the visitor is the waterfall itself and the riverside environment that surrounds it, with a short hiking route that is very popular among those seeking accessible nature. The available descriptions also mention an old mill next to the waterfall, an element that adds scenic and ethnographic value to the whole. Its main attraction is the combination of simple walk, green landscape and end by the water, in an environment suitable for a quiet visit. The sources consulted present it as a low-difficulty route, a good fit for family excursions and to complete a day in the interior of the council. The sources reviewed do not include a specific environmental protection figure for the waterfall or an associated local legend; its interest is mainly natural and scenic, as one of the best-known small landmarks of rural nature in Cudillero.
