Shortly after leaving Salas, you enter a path where the Nonaya River accompanies the traveler . Among the surprises of this route, about six kilometers round trip , are the Pilgrim's Fountain, an old loading dock from a former kaolin mine, and an area where hides were once tanned. From there, the path gradually climbs above the river. The bridges under which the river flows towards the sea are also striking , such as the Borra Bridge, with its semicircular arch, and a second bridge, the Carcabón Bridge, very close to the turnoff for the waterfall.
And all this unfolds along stretches where the coolness of the forest is truly appreciated , along with the rhythm imposed by the sound of the water, the air rustling through the leaves, and the footsteps of those who, before or after us, make themselves heard on the path. At the turnoff to the right, just 300 meters down, this waterfall awaits us. Yet another jewel of the Asturian landscape.
How to go to the Nonaya Waterfall?
Taking Oviedo as a starting point, take the A-63 highway and, when you reach the deviation towards Cornellana, without entering the town, take the N-634 road to the town of Rooms. After entering it and crossing a straight with several industrial buildings, you will immediately reach the center of the town, where both the old town and the road that leads to the cemetery yew tree are indicated.
