From the small town of Navamediana and along an old cobbled path, the path leads us along the gorge to the high mountain of Gredos.
The first section of the path runs through an oak forest. The sound of jays and other small birds accompany us.
The sound of the water becomes more intense as we approach the bed of the gorge. We feel the freshness of the riverside vegetation and ascending the left bank we trace the course of the river guided by the sound of the water.
THE intense smell of cantuesos and thyme will follow us for much of the way if we choose spring to take this route.
At the highest part, a grove of aspen and later birch trees outline the gorge.
Higher up the sound of the water becomes more intense, the water runs capriciously, jumping and drawing numerous waterfalls that will delight the walker. The path ascends with a steeper slope between large stones to overcome the threshold and lead us to the end of our route, returning us to tranquility and silence at this point.
