Anfahrt:
Leave your car in the car park at the Guijo de Santa Bárbara bathing area, known as ‘El Cachapo’.
Zustieg (30 min):
Above the swimming area there is a bridge which we must cross; we then take the path branching off to the left, which climbs gradually. We reach the middle bridge, cross it and continue climbing until we reach a stone house. Next to this house there is a track which we should leave on our left and take a small path situated in front of the house. We follow this path, which will take us to the bed of the Gargantón.
