Right in the middle of Los Alcornocales Natural Park, near Algeciras in the province of Cádiz, sits a special spot where you can completely disappear for a while. The La Chorrera waterfall tumbles down into the Miel river, surrounded by old mills and remnants of a medieval path. This is Spain at its wildest: dense vegetation, crystal-clear water and a silence you can almost touch.
