Río Borosa, Hiking trail in La Iruela, Spain.
This 22-kilometer trail follows the Borosa River through the Sierra de Cazorla Natural Park, featuring turquoise pools, waterfalls, and limestone gorges accessible via wooden walkways and bridges.
The area has been traditionally used for agricultural and livestock activities by local inhabitants who relied on its natural resources for survival in harsh mountain conditions.
The trail represents one of Andalusia's most visited natural routes, showcasing the region's commitment to environmental conservation while preserving traditional mountain lifestyle heritage.
The complete route takes 6-7 hours to finish, though visitors can choose shorter sections like Cerrada de Elías for a 2-3 hour hike with parking available near Torre del Vinagre Interpretation Center.
The trail features hand-carved tunnels through solid rock and suspended walkways over narrow canyon sections, leading to the river's source at Laguna de Aguas Negras.
