Recommendations or Restrictions	Water taps are located in the village at the start & finish of the walk This route is prone to flash flooding. Do not attempt it if heavy rains are expected. If the river starts to rise rapidly – follow the marked escape routes to higher ground. The route passes though the village at the start and end of the walk and passes several bar/cafes should you require refreshments. This is a very popular walking area and weekends should be avoided if you like tranquillity. This route can be combined with the walk to “La Cruz” to make a longer outing as both trails go through the village centre on the way out and back.
