The Ribera del río Genil in Granada is a beautiful place for walking and relaxation. The route runs along the banks of the river Genil, from the Puente Verde in Granada to the Presa de Canales in Pinos Genil. It offers an atmospheric setting with forests of galleries and an abundance of natural beauty, especially in autumn with the colourful leaves.

The irrigation channel Real or Gorda del Genil is located on the edge of Cenes de la Vega. It is a beautiful corner, especially in autumn, when the leaves of the trees turn golden and frame this beautiful waterfall.

I have added an image of the map where you have to be careful of falling due to stones and unevenness in the trail.

I had a new bike to try out (which unfortunately I had to end up returning), the last storms had left everything almost devastated, there were puddles, branches, leaves everywhere, the fords were overgrown... so we took a quick and close ride.
