Barranco Xarquet
The lack of height gain and distance should not lead you to underestimate the challenge of this day which involves a demanding scramble up the barranco (great fun!) leading to fruit terraces and an easier return back through a valley with coastal views.

The grade of this walk is MS/C/Scr, which means
MS – Moderately Strenuous: Up to 600 metres ascent and/or no more than 15 km in length with some rough going taken at a reasonable pace.
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.
