The route
It descends among vegetable gardens, crosses the Cabriel and follows a track parallel to the river. The circuit begins after about 3 km. In the recommended direction, a steep stony path climbs to Las Hoyas, the highest point, along a section shared with GR-66, a long-distance trail. After pine forest, a broad path descends south near the ravine edge until the confined river channel appears beside Las Chorreras. An old bridle path descends to the river, where the Guadazaón and Cabriel meet. It returns along the left bank.
Difficulty and time
Circular, 15 km and 355 m of elevation gain, of moderate difficulty.
Before you set out
Since the October 2024 DANA storm this is the only permitted access to Las Chorreras: do not descend to the pools or enter along the right bank. One section runs close to cliffs: take care.
