Like the other municipalities of the region, it is located between the mountain and the Guadalquivir valley. Its fundamental economy is the olive tree, although it has an incipient tourist development

The waterfall is located next to the Falcones (1448 m), mountain always visible from any street of Cazorla, and a natural stone wall "Los Castellones" (1,820 m), elevation as a fortress from where it is named. To appreciate the water leaps it will be necessary to climb up a narrow path that runs next to the slope of the stream where you will be accompanied by the cornicabra (Pistacia terebinthus), a very abundant species on this path. By moving along the path you will appreciate the impressive fall of water as soon as the limestone walls serve as slides.

We suggest:

• Next to the bridge from where the waterfall is seen, a right-hand road leads us to the control of Riogazas. It is a pleasant walk in which you will find a fountain called "The River" and another beautiful waterfall, that of the Magdalena. From here goes down a road to Cazorla.

In the Iruela you have to reach the square of the City Hall from where the road ascends towards the hotel Riogazas. 5 km from the Iruela and after two lookouts with meringeros there is a bridge. To the left we can see the Cascade of the Escaleruela.

Information and Observations

• We will have to leave the vehicle at the entrance of the lane because there is a barrier to avoid the passage of vehicles.
• The property through which the lane passes is private so it is not allowed to enter the lane with vehicle.

The upper part of the Borosa River, has a scalated profile for the development of pozas and waterfalls in which travertine terraces are formed with spectacular botroidal calcite morphologies that were precipitated during the most humid and warm periods of the Quaternary.

Although travertine appear throughout the river, the highest concentration is located in the sector between the organ jump and the electric power plant. Its formation is due to the precipitation of calcite caused by the tear-up of the river waters produced by the turbulent regime of the water leaps in the areas with the greatest slope. This precipitation occurs in areas of dense vegetation receding elements of plants and producing subvertical sheets known as cascade facies.

The arch of the cover of access to the porticated courtyard of the House of Palacio has two nobility shields, the one on the left corresponds to the Ponce de León, while the right belongs to the Condes de Garciez, for the fourth count was Lord of Mengibar. This main front is crowned with contemporary stone almenillas. After the arch, a beautiful courtyard is raised, composed of three half-point arches, a bit of brick, which rest on pillars. On the north front the main entrance of the house is raised with a simple cover with armchairs in the jambas and a lintel with cross in the center and the date of 1,663.

In 1808 Casa Palacio became a key space in the context of the Mengibar Action. The house served as accommodation for the troops led by General Reding. In the current dining room, we can see how the weight of the weaponry damaged the structure of the building and large wooden beams are preserved as points.

The house was acquired in the late 19th century by the family of the Girl. The members of this family gave the building the architectural and decorative aspect it has today. In the first decade of the 2000's, it became a hotel. Years later, the City of Mengibar would buy the property.

The built volume, which rests on a basement with stone vaults, is of two floors communicated by a staircase that starts from a corner of the courtyard. The walls are of ripian and tapial of remarkable thickness; the forging of rolls and in the configuration of the main courtyard were used jácenas of large squadría. The cover system is also woody, with chandelier and limas under Arab tile.

In the center of the construction is the main courtyard, with another secondary or garden in the back. The main courtyard, with a square floor, is visually reduced from its original proportions by adding partitions that allowed to protect two of the galleries and to enable a third room, leaving today only the northern panda. As a result of these changes, the elements of wood were altered, among which the large zapatas with the decoration of volts, spirals, crosses, etc. They are also to mention some cassette doors.

From the north-east angle of the courtyard starts the staircase, of a single stretch, covered by an orange half decorated with central floron and supported by pechines decorated by small heads of cherubim in plaster. The top of the staircase offers a flat double arch of a half-point cut that separates a factory machon.

The first floor has rooms for bedrooms with plaster shells on the entrance lintel. On the second floor there are three cameras, including the one that offers the façade to the Garden Street, open with a gallery of eight half-point arches.

The cover, located under that plunder, is high and sober and is shaped by simple Tuscan pilasters that flank the inintered vain.

In Beas de Segura we find different examples of this type on Feria Street. In Orcera we find some interesting houses on San José Street or in Genaro de la Parra. In the Gate of Segura and in Siles there are also examples of this architecture called generally regionalist, but what they are looking for at the bottom is to incorporate elements from other times in the design of the houses.

Elements of Muslim architecture will give rise to the ne- mudejar and so during different times as the rebirth or the baroque. Its owners intended to legitimize their situation of being able to recover elements of the medieval or Renaissance past, as an element that would serve to connect with the nobility and thus justify their situation of power. To talk about this type of construction, is to make it from the 19th century, a century of great transformations, a time in which the saws that make up the Natural Park know the province of Jaén and the establishment of mechanism and forms of government totally different from those that exist with the advance of Cazorla and the envination of Segura. It is the century in which great fortunes are formed and at the same time the number of poor families is growing exponentially, all of which are framed in a constitutional regime that is completely unknown to most of the inhabitants.

The House of the Chains is a three-storey construction that offers a compact and solid image highlighting Renaissance elements such as the half-point arches. A large entrance arch contains the shield of the Godoy family, the first owners to be recorded.
