Approach ER 102 past Carmacha, then turn right onto the ER206 to Gaula. After about 2 km, park opposite the bus stop. On the side of the bus stop is the Carmacha sign, walk in the direction of the water flow. You can go to Carmacha. We turned around beforehand. Wonderful prospects. Lots of tunnels, take a torch with you
