The Delika canyon (Spanish: Cañón de Délica, Basque: Delikako arroila) is a karst canyon of Spain, located in the province of Álava. It is formed by the Nervión river near the village of Delika. The Salto de Nervión [es], an intermittent waterfall that is the highest in Spain [222 metres (728 ft)], flows from the canyon.[1][2]
