Tips

There are various places where the trail leaves the Barranco. Sometimes this is totally unnecessary with normal water levels, sometimes the safety concerns of falling rocks are only relevant after rain or other unstable conditions. The warning is only really to be taken seriously at one point - and that is also the most beautiful passage of the entire Barranco!
When the water level is low, you can approach the almost impassable point from both sides. From below you then walk through a small slot canyon with a stone bridge directly in front of the mini waterfall, wonderful (definitely recommended when the water level is low).
If the conditions are good and you have some courage, you can also pass the point from above. On the left you can climb past the waterfall along the rock (not particularly difficult) and come to the top of the stone bridge (just a stuck rock).

One more step, and it goes down in two stages - both approx. 2 meters high (not approx. 3 meters like at the waterfall). You can slide down your butt quite well, but it gets a little wet (if, like today, a tiny trickle drips down there).

If it is very warm, the passage directly in the water could be an option. However, one should keep in mind that the wet rock can be quite slippery...
