The Barranco de la Coladilla route leads through a spectacular landscape in the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Nature Park. It runs on varied gravel paths through the impressive Barranco de la Coladilla, a wild and romantic gorge with impressive rock formations. You pass the El Pinarillo recreation area, with shady picnic areas and rest areas. A detour to the Fuente del Esparto is recommended, a natural water source where you can refill your water bottles.

From the parking lot just before the Cueca de Nerja you can go back into the valley or go by bike, safely to the Fuentes de Esparto. Before that, there has to be a "Recreation Area". Unfortunately, we could not do it in December 2019 because the concrete runway was being renovated and the road was closed to traffic. On foot we should have been allowed to walk according to the employees of the construction company but we preferred to ride a bike. So we drove on and from Nerja in the valley of the Rio Chillar.
