Summary:
Gil Cobo is somewhat of the local testpiece, it comes with a shuttle of almost an hour but a reward of 0' approach, 5-7 hours canyon, high waterfalls, technical access (abseil 1 most notably), postcard watercolours, long transitions,... in a wild atmosphere.

Think long transitions and long shuttle. Start from area recreativa Gil Cobo (refuge is a little higher) by following the little stream. The lower P is among the olive trees (somewhat of 100m above the river bed, the last bit of forest road down is very steep and therefore best avoided in wet conditions especially and non 4x4 vehicle), upon exiting it is then best to hike up to the car, left 100m above on the opposite side. Legislation unsure.
