Frecha da Mizarela

Frecha da Mizarela is one of the higher waterfalls on the mainland of Portugal and is located near Mizarela (Rossas) in the region Aveiro. It is located in the Serra da Freita, near to the Caima River's source, between the towns of Vale de Cambra and Arouca, and more precisely, in the parish of Albergaria da Serra. This waterfall, which is the tallest in the nation and one of the biggest in Western Europe, attracts with its distinctive characteristics. The Caima River's force and the area's morphology, which alternates granite and stone, or which brought about this frequency where it runs into the water, allowed a cascata to form.

Take the exit to Saril from the N224 (southwest from Rossas), then follow the road to Mizarela. There is a sign that reads, "Frecha da Mizarela", just for Mizarela. The automobile parking space is a short way down the road. The vista is already breathtaking from the vantage point (Miradoura), but you can either drive or walk down the dead-end road to numerous additional lovely waterfall viewpoints. A route with great views runs parallel to the dead-end road. The waterfall likely goes dry in the summer and during dry spells. Frecha da Mizarela has the potential to transform into a medium-powerful cascade during wet weather.
