Itinerary description

Short round walk. The walk starts going up from fabrica de luz directly so the hardest part is in the beginning of this walk. Also see the height profile. Part is on small trails, part on roads in this area. After walking up for a while from the start the road is a welcome change because its easy and flat walking, good for talking, good to enjoy the views instead of your feet. On this road you pass a fuente with water basin. Several other walks go in different directions from this road as well.
We go down where some stones are and where a chain blocks a small steep road going down towards the river. The chain is only to prevent cars from driving into this road because its very steep and has some sharp corners. At the lowest point we cross the river and turn left to follow the river.
After a couple of meters is a natural pool under some big rocks. Also see my waypoint "water between rocks".
Follow the path next to this river downstream back to fabrica de luz. Including some stops its a 2h30 till 3h walk.
