Pozo Galeano (Villel de Mesa): gorge and waterfall of the Mesa River
Pozo Galeano, or del Galano, is a narrowing of the Mesa River beside Villel de Mesa where the river forms a small gorge with a waterfall and clear turquoise pools. Reached on a short walk from the village swimming pools along a riverside path with a wooden handrail. One of the coolest spots in the Señorío in summer.

A narrow gorge on the Mesa
Beside Villel de Mesa, the Mesa River squeezes between rock walls, forming a small gorge with a waterfall and remarkably clear turquoise pools. This is Pozo Galeano, which also appears on maps as Pozo del Galano.
How to get there
Park beside the municipal swimming pools of Villel and follow the riverside footpath, which has a wooden railing on the water side along its final stretch. It is a short, easy walk.
When to go
In summer it is a cool escape from the heat; in spring, with higher water flow, the waterfall looks at its best. The Mesa valley can be explored further at the castle of Villel and the Tormo de Mochales.
