Description of the route
This route runs along a flat forest track with slight ascents and descents. The predominant vegetation in this area is laurel and faya bushes-heather. The hillside is populated by abundant cliff-slope vegetation, consisting mainly of Aeonium canariense, moss and lichens. A few minutes' walk away is a spring, now converted into a stone fountain. Do not take the path that ascends next to this spring. On the Las Hiedras track, there are several forks in the path. Accordingly, about 400 metres from the spring and on the left, you have the possibility of changing the direction of the route and descending to El Batán. Instead of this, the proposed route continues in a straight line. About 200 metres further on, you will also see the intersection of the path that descends from the forest house. Without leaving the track at any point, the route continues and you will find a cave refuge excavated in the rock. The trail ends at the small hamlet of El Río.
