Technical Description
Not far from the road and just in front of the cortijo, it starts on the right a signposted path parallel to the stream, which later must be watered shortly before the wire. Once on the other side, the explanade is crossed in search of a path that penetrates the beautiful throat of the Arroyo de la Fresnedilla.
The ravine gradually narrows and forces several times to change the shore. At the confluence with another stream and after walking about 25 minutes, the ravine opens. At this point you have to move to the right margin to link with a dirt lane. The road now accompanies the rising river bed, on some occasions on the right bank and on others, on the opposite. Unavoidably, you have to go through the channel several times, and if it has a lot of water, you will even have to go down on more than one occasion.
Finally, the lane disappears. The route continues to jump from one bank to another in search of the most comfortable steps to a dam and waterfall, after an hour and ten minutes.
It is taken on the right bank, the sidewalk of the acequia that used to carry the water from the chorreta to the old light factory, in the Barranco de Valdearazo. Place where the route ends.
