One of the places that most impresses those who take a walk through the Almanzora Valley in the north of Almería, is El Estrecho located in the municipality of Urrácal. This narrow gorge is located on the Salada Rambla at the foot of the El Castillico hill. For decades it has not been possible to pass due to the large amount of vegetation that was on the boulevard. In the past, with the flooding of the riverbed, it was cleaned naturally, but the construction of dams to prevent large avenues and floods has caused, over the years, a large number of oleanders, tamarisks, blackberries and false reeds to appear. They prevented access. Thanks to the cleaning work that has been carried out, today we can enjoy a walk that surprises us with its particular geological formations of great beauty. The passage of water, which will accompany us along the route of this gorge, and the action of the wind, have shaped these spectacular geological formations for years, and its walls reach several meters high. It consists of two separate formations whose length reaches around half a kilometer where our senses will begin to enjoy the spectacle that this environment offers. A natural wonder worth exploring! 🌿🏞️
