このLaguna del Barranco del Ciño Negroは地下水の湧き出しです。

This descending valley, which runs alongside the Tagus River for many kilometres, is full of unique and unrepeatable corners, due to the capricious formations that occur every few metres.

The trail eventually climbs the tuff boulders and enters a small valley of pine trees and meadows, home to the Ciño Negro lagoon, with an interpretive sign on the shore. In spring, the pond is a beautiful reflection of clear water and vegetation associated with the valuable wetlands created by rainfall at certain times of the year. The GR-113 signposts cross a wooden footbridge over the ravine wetland and continue toward Zaorejas through the forests of the Ciño Negro ravine. The path reaches a crossroads at the top of the ravine. The Tajo Nature Trail continues to the right toward Zaorejas, and the route follows the forest track on the left.

Access to the starting point is via the forest track that begins one kilometer before reaching the San Pedro Bridge, descending from the village of Zaorejas. Then, continue another kilometer along the dirt road to the bend where the Escaleruela waterfall is located, right in the environmental area of the Alto Tajo Natural Park. The best time to visit the waterfall is in spring due to the high water level, the streams are full of water, and the humidity keeps the natural ecosystems at their most vibrant. The route climbs to the right of the waterfall, following a trail marked with milestones for a variant of the GR-113 Tajo Natural Path toward the mountain village of Zaorejas through the Ciño Negro ravine. The main route follows the forest track between Poveda de la Sierra and Villar de Cobeta. The path is carved into the tuff edifice that forms the waterfall block; it has passageways and alleys created by rainwater dissolving the calcium carbonate in the rocks. The path is beautiful; at the top of the tuffaceous block, another waterfall appears over the steps of the path and offers spectacular views of the Ciño Negro towers.

A very nice bridge for walkers and cyclists if they ride a bike. It allows you to cross the Tagus River and avoid the road. The view from both bridges is nice, but I prefer the safety of the pedestrian bridge.

Bridge that allows the hiker to cross the Tagus River over its crystalline waters.

Near the homonymous bridge is this small beach on the banks of the Gallo River.

Near the San Pedro Bridge is the beach that has the same name as the bridge. In summer it is full of people looking to cool off. It is located a few meters from the same road!
