Trail Reviews
Very nice hike, but the heavy rains of the last few weeks have created some "unusual" situations for Andalusia. The path to the waterfall is sometimes difficult to find, and was not passable all the way due to the conditions. We were nevertheless able to go to the top of the waterfall, but not below.
