A path descends to a roundabout on the CUV-5014, crosses it and reaches the river. It follows it upstream on a path winding beneath riparian woodland, crosses a wooden bridge and passes Fuente de la Tía Chata and, after another small bridge, Fuente del Pico, to the picnic area on the shaded side of Las Balsas. There it crosses the northern bridge and returns along the track downstream.
