シエラネバダの滝・トップ16

An impressive structure. When the water starts flowing over the top, it must have rained a lot in those mountains!

It is a short section, with a ladder and a rope, which the little ones usually like.

This hiking route can be done from several points, but for me the best starting point is leaving the car on the iron bridge that is on the old road of Durcal n-323 Asu, passing by the source, from there we go down to the river just under the iron bridge be careful because the road is a bit slippery once in the same river if we take the right this path would take us to the same waterfall of the bolos we never have to leave the section of the river we will arrive at an area where we find a ditch that is fed by the same cascade of the bolos and the same Durcal river that is born in the lagoon of the horse.

Cool place to spend the night on the dike

We are on a dam in the middle of the Sierra Nevada, more specifically in the Alpujarra of Granada, precisely on a route for both hiking and MTB, which begins in the town of Soportujar, a town in Granada, Alpujarra, known for its sculptures and picturesque legends about witches and spells. The route begins in the town and ends at the Puente Palo free camping area, but we pass through a dam called dam 24, built in 1943, through which the Chico river passes, which is born on the slopes of Veleta. In said dam we can appreciate some ponds. refreshing in summer and a great waterfall that forms with the first thaws.

Pretty dike, known by mountaineers and hikers as "Dike 24". We find it on the climb from Soportújar to the Puente Palo recreational area, bathed by the Chico River that rises on the slopes of Veleta Peak. Construction of this dam began in 1940 and was completed in 1943. In order to see it in its full splendor, it is advisable to go during the Sierra Nevada snowmelt season.

The official trail ends at this point, but in the summer months, when the river level is not high and the heat makes it less important to get wet, you can continue upstream until you reach the spectacular and refreshing Cascada de los Bolos.
