Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Asturias, Spain, water flows out from a spillway and down a stone fish ladder below the Caín Dam. This innovative structure allows trout to navigate the flowing waters of the Rio Cares, just north of the charming small village of Caín, with a population of 60 people.
Surrounded by dramatic rock formations and lush greenery, the fish ladder is not only a vital part of the local ecosystem but also a beautiful sight for nature lovers and photographers alike. The gentle flow of water cascading over the ladder creates a serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection. Above, a bridge crosses the river on the Ruta del Cares (The Cares Trail) on its way to Poncebos and Bulnes (Cabrales). Experience the harmony of nature and engineering in this breathtaking location.
