Itinerary description

There are two parkings : one at the spring "Fuente del Hervidero" and one larger parking where the circular walks PR A-21 (this walk) and PR A-20 start. Just after the second (main) parking, we followed a path close to the beautiful coloured rock formations with some loose gravel which might be a problem when it's rainy or for persons who are vertigo sensitive. Otherwise there are no difficulties. The path soon diverts from the canal which follows its own way through some tunnels in the mountains. The path leads you along a lonely mountain landscape, partly covered with trees, offering you some shade during the hot summer days.
