Reading previous reviews we took heed and arrived at the falls at 9.30 in the morning. (on September 30th) we need not have worried about crowds, as we were the first to arrive.The parking lots were still closed , but we managed to find a space near a restaurant where we could leave the car. We walked the short distance to the entry and it cost 5Euros per adult, pensioners 4Euros and disabled free. (take proofs) There are steep steps at the beginning of the walk. The walk itself it not very long and there are many places to stop and sit down on stone walls. The walk on the left hand side of the river gets the sun a lot earlier than the one on the right, but the right hand one is longer. There are a few bridges across and a toilet block half way. Picknicks are only allowed in the dedicated area and away from the water. We left at about 2pm and the place was quite busy by then. All in all it was a lovely experience, which would have been even better, had I known that I could have taken my dog along.

As rain was forecast for midday, we were up and out early for the hike to the waterfall. With vague instructions from the apartment reception desk and Google maps (not recommended) we struck out past the Castillo de las Estrellas for the club de tenis on the far hill. We followed a trail to the north of the tennis club and plunged into the forest. The walk was undulating and not particularly taxing, but a 10km round trip was sufficient for me. On reaching the waterfall we found few people marvelling at the cascade from the lip of the valley. We walked further to the next falls and climbed up the steps to the viewpoint. These were slippery and uneven, but plenty of handholds mean we reached the top safely. The view over the falls and the valley is beautiful, but take care if climbing with children. As the forecast was rain and we were still mid-Covid pandemic the area was clean and the people there respectful of the environment. As we hiked we didn't pay the €2. A thoroughly enjoyable morning.

We drove 1hr 50 mins to arrive at Algar. The locals make parking easy, at a cost of €5. We took a picnic and just ate at the car although there are several tabernas along the walk to the waterfalls. Very reasonable entry fee, and a reduced student fee was good so we paid €18 for 2 adults and two children. There are lockers available for your valuables. Water shoes are essential as the whole terrain is rocky/pebbly. Even though it was busy everyone was chilled and enjoying the experience. The jumping platform was great!
