Salt des Molinet
Impressive waterfall tucked into a circus, just below the last peak of over 1000 m, Puig Tomir. The approximation is done by the old road "Fartàritx" with excellent views of Marc valley and bay of Polleça and ll the surrounding mountains: Puig Caragoler de Femenia, Puig Gros de Ternelles, Puig de ca de Miner and Cugulla de Fartàritx at the back. With water this canyon is spectacular and dangerous.
Remarks: Spectacular and dagerous after heavy rains. waterfall very technical. Difficult to catch ropes.
