Itinerary description
From the parking, start walking south west into the recreation area and along the path leaving Presa de las Niñas to the right. There is a small ascent to Cassandra’s Tree from where you take the path due south east.
Continue along this path until you reach the road. Now, turn right and stay on the road until you reach a sharp turn right and leave the road towards a white and red vane. From here you have a spectacular view of Soria.
Turn back towards the road and following the path from where you came, take a turn right on the first fork you encounter. This should lead you to a dirt road. Follow it turning right on forks walking down into the valley. After a while walking down this path you will find a fork, take the path to the left. Shortly after you will find another fork, this time keep going on the right path. Continue this path until you reach the road (GC-505).
From here turn to your left and continue along the road, you should be leaving Presa de Soria to your back. Stay on the main road until you reach a point where the main road turns from asphalt, to concrete and lastly a dirt road. Continue 3 Km always staying to the left. At the end of the 3 Km you will find a ruined house.
Continue on the main path due North this time staying to your right on the first fork, and left on the second, which leads you down a smaller path leaving the main path, and follow it – with a mountain to your right – until you hit a road, turning left here and keeping on the road until meeting a fork leaving right, this path being the one on which you started. Head to Cassandra’s tree and from there to the parking.

Preciosa y fácil ruta muy recomendable. La bajada a la presa de Soria es por un camino de piedras, un poco para “cabralocas” pero que se hace entretenido y divertido. El paisaje espectacular. El camino es cómodo y apto para los que tienen vértigo como yo. Luego, una vez en el pueblito de Soria la subida por el barranco es por una pista más ancha, fácil y cómoda. La subida es suave, no se hace sofocante y las vistas al barranco de Soria muy bonitas. Todo el entorno es “de primera”. Ver alguna ave planear sobre el barranco es muy gratificante.
He llevado pantalón largo pensando en que podría encontrarme senderos cubiertos de hierba, etc.. (en otras rutas de las presas así se comenta) pero aquí no hace falta. El camino está totalmente despejado de hierba y maleza. Estás un poco expuesto al Sol pero a cambio las vistas son espectaculares.
Si la ruta es de primera el viaje en coche también lo es. He ido por Mogán a primera hora de la mañana y sinceramente he pasado algo de “susto”. La carretera está nueva, muy bien asfaltada, pero en algunos puntos es muy estrecha y sin “quitamiedos”. Hay muchas zonas para dejar pasar al vehículo de frente, pero la verdad es que la carretera impresiona un poco. Quizás por haber ido tan temprano no me he cruzado con nadie (menos mal). La vuelta la he hecho continuando la carretera hasta Ayacata y desde allí por San Bartolomé hasta Maspalomas.
Ambos recorridos: el de coche y la ruta a pie son inmejorables. Totalmente recomendables. Seguro que los disfrutáis. La ruta se hace en menos de 3 horas y no es muy dura. Tengo un precioso recuerdo de este día.
Gracias Correawesome por subir una ruta tan bonita
