Also known as Barranco de los Enamorados, they are spectacular formations of fossilized and later eroded sandbanks. Although you can do the circular route, the right side is more beautiful so you can consider going back the same way. It is a route exposed to the sun so come prepared for it, beyond that it does not have great technical difficulties except for arriving by car on the track.

Spectacular fossil sand formations in the middle of a lost ravine. Easy route but uncovered terrain, not recommended on very hot days. Access to the starting point is by unpaved track from Tinajo, it is 6 km. Please, enough vandals have already passed through the site, let's respect the environment.
