Itinerary description

This was my second successful attempt to close the loop in La Primavera forest. Compared to the one I have done in January 2016, this one I completed quicker as followed the path and did not make any deviation like last time. In March I saw more blooming trees and grass. Interesting to see oaks' fresh leaves covered with fluff.

Bath

50 meters from the trail there is a place where the creek forms a bath deep enough to cover the whole body. Very refreshing!!! The cliffs on the right wall are impressive as well.
