Anento Canyon Circuit via Castillo & Aguallueve

A stiff climb leading to the Castillo then descending to the waterfall of Aguallueve. Steeply up to the Iberian Tower ruin. A sometimes vague path leads along the lip of the canyon cliffs. Occasionally exposed and precarious. A steep descent at 7.7km leads to straightforward tracks and paths back to the village. Terrific views of the village and this unique hidden valley.

Recommendations or Restrictions	There is a lot of flora and fauna including deer, so dogs are probably not advisable on the full version of the walk. Neither are children, due to the precipitous cliff edges. Though either could do the shorter versions. See walk information boards at edge of village for more details. It would be dangerous in wet conditions.
