Pretty dike, known by mountaineers and hikers as "Dike 24". We find it on the climb from Soportújar to the Puente Palo recreational area, bathed by the Chico River that rises on the slopes of Veleta Peak. Construction of this dam began in 1940 and was completed in 1943. In order to see it in its full splendor, it is advisable to go during the Sierra Nevada snowmelt season.

The crossing of the Rio Chico can lead to wet feet 😉
