Itinerary description
This route somehow takes us deep to a unknown nook in Sierra Nevada. If we are lucky enough to be experiencing an abundant rainfall year, and even happens to find ourselves in the spot when snow melting is taking place in its middle stage, the large amount of water in the form of rapids and waterfalls will be a delight for all the senses. This might make us forget, at least for a few hours, summer's heat waves. A serie of cascades from every cardinal point that eventually converge in a single point, making up what is actually the spring of Dílar river.
