Atlantic Forest Magic

There are places that shape you without you even realising it.
As Fragas do Eume is one of mine.
More than just a location, it’s where my passion for landscape photography truly began. Where I learned. Where I practised. Where I failed. And where I slowly started to understand forests, rivers and light.
This hidden double waterfall isn’t visible from the main paths. It’s not obvious. Most visitors walk nearby without ever knowing it exists. But when you spend time exploring, researching, returning again and again — the forest begins to reveal its secrets.
That morning, the conditions were magical.
Sunlight filtered through the dense Atlantic forest canopy, breaking into beams that illuminated the twin cascades as they opened towards the river below. The water flowed with strength, framed by lush green vegetation — a scene that feels even more alive in spring, when everything here explodes into colour and texture.
Fragas do Eume is not just a forest in Galicia.
It’s a living, breathing sanctuary of Atlantic woodland — and a place I will always return to.
