Embalse de la Rambla de Algeciras
The Embalse de la Rambla de Algeciras near Librilla is a hidden gem just off the highway, down a long winding road
The views are amazing. Well worth a visit.
You can do it by car, but only when it is really dry. There are some steep sections where you may slip in wet conditions. At the end point, you can easily turn around

Salto del Usero
El Salto del Usero is a beautiful and relatively unknown place. It is one of the natural jewels of the Murcia region and is located in the municipality of Bullas, the cradle of rural tourism in the region: the Northwest.
It is a small waterfall that forms a domed pool. The water is turquoise and cold. The space is ocher, green and blue. The course of the Mulas River is responsible for this corner, which has been carved out by erosion over the millennia.
The Salto del Usero is the ideal place to spend a morning. In summer the locals come to take a dip. In autumn and winter it is just as beautiful, but quieter.
