ALBUQUERIA VALLEY – UPPER WATERFALLS ROUTE

There is a drive to the start (car sharing recommended). The walk starts up a 1 km track through pleasant woodland. The track becomes a single file, stony path that gradually gets steeper towards its end. The path emerges onto a wide track that continues upwards for about 0,5 km. It then becomes easier. The track passes cork oaks and beautiful views. A couple of little streams are crossed where, during wet times there are some good waterfalls. Feet won’t get wet. The track is followed for about 3 km, where a rest is taken and then returning by the same route.
