Cork Oaks

Highlight • Trail

The variety of vegetation in this place is amazing. I was particularly surprised by the cork oaks that are grouped in one place.

Small Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

I recommend going first thing in the morning because from 10:00 in the morning a lot of people start to come to the route and, honestly, when the route is best it is listening to the sound of the water in the background and the birds 🍃👌🌱🌿💦🌾🧘‍ ♂️🐤🦅🕊

Tip: wear a raincoat so that the humidity of the humid bioclimate does not penetrate your body in case you stay for a while to enjoy nature.

Path along meter-high reeds

Highlight • Trail

Apparently it is always trimmed to ensure that the passage is still guaranteed

Large Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

At the end of the path is this impressive waterfall. There are several giant rocks where you can sit and admire their beauty. It really is a magical environment that is worth visiting.

There is a path that continues up the ravine and passes more waterfalls, but it is closed due to the danger of landslides.

Double Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The biggest waterfalls are after this double waterfall
Going up a site that is quite difficult to access, there is even a sign not to go up due to danger. I've already gone and it's spectacular 👌 I don't recommend going up because of the difficulty of the danger it entails 🤦‍♂️😅 But up to this double waterfall and back there are approx 7.5 km

It's pretty good 👍 with the obligatory photos 😉🥙🍗 and the snack near a stream or waterfall tastes great.

That was a really nice tour today, with a few climbing sections up to the upper cascade. At the end there was an almond cake and a Keramel dessert! 🍰🍦

The Valley of the Kestrel, always a pleasure to do. This hike has become an annual tradition and is always beautiful.

It was a very nice tour again, this time up to the double waterfall, the weather played a role again, the vegetation there was simply wonderful. We'll definitely do it a third time 🤭😁

Translated by Google

It was a very nice tour again, it took us longer than we expected because many places invite you to linger and we want to absorb the calm and the splashing of the watercourse, like every year 🦎🦶🏻🦋🐛🌞🧠🫀🫁👀👃🏻👂 🏻👍🥰 Sturdy shoes are recommended.

A very nice varied hike. Footpaths over hill and dale. Unfortunately, the route is closed from the 2nd waterfall ☹️

Today we did a wonderful gorge hike in Cascada- Barranco de los Cernicalos It went over small streams lengthways to a great waterfall.

Translated by Google

A very nice hike, absolutely recommendable and not too strenuous! The path runs along a stream, in the shade of bushes and reeds. Except for a few small climbs in the upper part, the path is very easy to walk and not strenuous.

Translated by Google

This route was the return journey through the gorge to the parking lot. That means the outward journey is identical, since it also goes through the gorge. 😃 Overall, a challenging route with lots of bending, as the reeds overhang very low and some trees are lying across the path. It's worth hiking this trail, and at the end of the gorge, the turning point, you're rewarded with a lovely picnic area.
