From Holy Week onwards, at weekends, during the summer and up until the October bank holiday weekend, access to the El Salto de la Novia site is controlled with the aim of preventing vehicles from entering the area, avoiding occasional crowds and providing a visitor information service from the El Salto de la Novia Interpretation Centre.
During these periods when access control is in force, at times of peak visitor numbers, you must purchase a ticket to access the site. This is a day ticket costing € 2 for those aged 10 and over (with free entry for younger children), which must be purchased at the ticket point located at the Interpretation Centre in Plaza del Matadero.
Some points to bear in mind are:
- It is not possible to book or purchase tickets in advance as, being an open natural area, there are no capacity limits; therefore, tickets can only be purchased at the access point upon arrival.
- Payment can be made in cash or by card.
- There is no dedicated car park; you must park on the streets adjacent to the access point.
- From the entrance to the river area, it is a walk of around 500 metres. This involves a descent along a tarmac road which is only accessible to authorised vehicles.
- You may bring food, cool boxes, tables or chairs.
- Pets are allowed, in which case we ask that you take appropriate responsibility for both other visitors and your own pet, avoiding situations that could pose any risk.
- The site is accessible to people with reduced mobility, as you can drive right up to the river area. If you need to access the site by vehicle, you must notify staff at the access point upon arrival so that we may be permitted to drive through to ‘drop off’ and ‘pick up’ the person or people who require assistance.
- It is strictly forbidden to light fires on the site.
- The Salto de la Novia area is signposted by the Júcar River Basin Authority as a ‘Dangerous Swimming Area’; this does not mean that swimming is prohibited as such, but anyone who decides to swim does so at their own risk, bearing in mind that there are no safety facilities in the area. Navajas Town Council recommends following the Confederation’s advice and avoiding situations that may pose any kind of risk, such as standing beneath the water falling from the waterfall, approaching slippery areas or swimming in blind spots.
- Please respect the site and other visitors, and avoid anti-social and disrespectful behaviour.
