Circuit of Rio Canaleta (needs verification)
A longish track walk in imposing scenery leading to a barranco crossing with some water likely particularly in the Spring or after heavy rain. The scenery is fantastic but you must be prepared to get wet. Assess at the marked point and if in doubt turn back!

The grade of this walk is S/C/Scr, which means
S – Strenuous: More than 600 metres ascent and/or more than 15km in length with steep, loose or heavily vegetated sections.
C – More than half the route on rough ground.
Scr – Scrambling: This implies the need for handholds to ascend steep rock pitches with a sense of exposure to vertigo and where a slip could lead to a serious accident.
