- Garmin data: 5:25h total time, 590m total elevation gain. Video: relive.cc/es/view/vKv2gxGGN4O
- NOTE: an amazing route, although the most beautiful, rather SPECTACULAR, are the views from the top of El Castillo and, of course, the town of Orbaneja del Castillo itself, with its famous waterfall and its Agua cave. Highly recommended.
