A pine-forested valley

The area lies in the Escabas valley, enclosed by canyons, escarpments and other karst forms, with extensive pine forest. Water names the place: a small lake which the Park guide asks visitors not to miss, at the end of the PNSC-09 trail, a 1 km walk with panels.

Good conduct

The spring has untreated natural water. One barbecue building cannot be used during wildfire-risk periods: check the regulations before lighting anything. The Park does not collect rubbish.

Combine with

The Peña del Reloj viewpoint, above the same valley, and El Hosquillo, visited by arrangement.
