Starting in the centre of Canillas de Albaida, the route drops down a mule track to the old Roman bridge (do not cross over it). One walk is going over the bridge, this one is going down to the river Cajula. It's a beautiful walk going up and soon you'll see the "Natural Park" signs. It's an easy walk with nice views and beautiful nature.
Follow the river Rio Cajula, you will cross the river around 5 times. There are bridges built recently and therefore the route is much easier nowadays.
Near the end of the route, there is a steep path into a valley. This track, with loose stones, can be a little slippery but there is no danger of falling down because it's not steep enough.
Dog-friendly (no caterpillars)!

Rio Chillar
A great day out for the whole family, and something different than the beach! This route through the river or Río Chillar in the wonderful holiday destination of Nerja is one of the few walks that is particularly pleasant in the heart of the summer. The walk offers plenty of shade and wonderful moments for a refreshing swim in crystal clear water! There is no better way to cool off on a hot summer day. Also great to do with children. Children love this walk! They can splash around in the water, and if you’re lucky, see all kinds of insects and animals. Higher up there are several pools where they can swim.
Medium level of fitness: requires good physical condition.
