Not only a nice detour, but also a possible entry (coming from the north) to the official trail to Frigiliana.

In March 2019 (like Pilgrim Peter the year before) we first tried to take the upper descent down the mountain near Porta Verde to the Rio Higueron. Since the trail was not clear, quite steep and it was quite windy, we turned around. The second entry attempt at the cistern promised to become better, although at first we did not want it to be true that the "way" should be the (aquifer) riverbed.

At the waterfall there was a rope down, but since we did not know what awaits us behind it, we are then back a bit and have about 150m before the change made around the top. This way was actually ok, but cost me (since I am not afraid of heights) great overcoming.

For us an exciting experience and the absolute highlight of our hike.

You will need to walk in the river which is really nice 😃 but have extra shoes 👟 for change.
