Itinerary description

Second day of the amazing loop. Much more natural trail, with some challenging parts. Overall on the easy side of moderate. We were advised to take this version of the trail, as the other more regular one was too muddy because of the rainfall. The difference is in the first kilometers, where the regular trail goes directly down to the river and circles around the mountain. We took the mountain route, which was supposedly less muddy. Supposedly ^^

Anyway, beautiful hike with loads of great viewpoints. We hiked to El Vaquero, which is a little further along the trail. Great hostel in our opinion! The sauna was very welcome :)
