The rains of the last few days have brought the 'La Chorrera' waterfall back to life

This is a waterfall that appears in Osunillas on very rare occasions

Sometimes nature provides us with spectacular and historic images, such as the one captured on Saturday in Osunillas by the head of the Mijas Pueblo Weather Station, Cristóbal Gambero. It is a large waterfall that occurred in the area popularly known as La Chorrera, at the mouth of the Don Pedro stream, in the heart of the Sierra de Mijas. 

Decades ago, says Gambero, this waterfall constantly flowed water, to the point that it was used to move mills, which were then used by the locals to make paper. Now, with the scarcity of rainfall, this picture has only been repeated on rare occasions, when it rains in abundance, the last one this Saturday. In the social media of this Mijas resident you can see a nice video edited by himself, which also includes images of this same spot recorded in 1957 by some American tourists.
