Itinerary description
You will appreciate this route the most in summer months, since there are several opportunities to dive in the cool stream water of a natural pool with a waterfall by your side.
After strolling through the streets of Buñol from the train station, you will get on the fluvial boardwalk going along the river with the same name. Soon you'll get on a trail, where you'll need to cross a creek several times, till you get to a pool, which will be the first bathing option.
Get back on the trail and start hiking up along the Carcalín ravine. Here the trail deteriorated slightly, so in one spot you'll need to decide if you want to scramble a bit or go through the bush (both options are quite doable). Some easier walking follows, then you'll get to a nice lookout point, right over Cueva de las Palomas. A short descent will take right to the cave/pool/waterfall, and this will be a perfect spot and another swim (the best one on the route).
On the way back you will pass by Charco Mañan and Cueva Turche, which are both worth a visit, especially the latter, since this is the most impressive waterfall of the area. On the way back through the town you'll also get the chance to visit the castle of Buñol.

Part of the trail got washed off. It's still passable, but there is also an option of getting off trail and going through the bush (you can see that people already went through there).

Thanks for the great hiking trail!
Not a good trail at all. Mostly walking along roads or asphalt paths.
