We found our way to the Barranco through the cairn in front of it. This is an indication in Spain that this is the hiking trail. The descent was totally worth it. Many eucalyptus trees grew in the river bed, there were climbing rocks and lots of caves.

I didn't count the caves, but there are well over a hundred

Beautiful walk up the ravine, although a little tricky in some places with a small bit of scrambling involved.
