Visiting Orbaneja del Castillo is usually a fantastic experience if you like charming natural villages, photogenic spots, and a tranquil atmosphere. The village's main attraction is the waterfall that literally runs through the town, descending from the Cueva del Agua to the Ebro River. It's one of the most iconic landscapes in Burgos. Cobblestone streets, stone houses, medieval corners... It's a quick walk, but every angle is photo-worthy.

The waterfall springs from the Cueva del Agua from a height of over 20 meters, at the base of the rocky cirque that embraces the village, originating from an aquifer located in the subsoil of the Páramo de Bricia, and it leaps everywhere, dividing the village into two halves, the Villa and the Puebla, and descends among the stone houses, creating a most photogenic scene.

From various shades of blue, ranging from turquoise to a dark ultramarine in the deepest part. To reach the well, there's a half-kilometer walk along a beautiful path that even has a cave entrance. When we arrived, it was a beautiful day, with people swimming and a caving group who had put on their diving suits and were exploring the depths of the underwater cave. A spectacle.
