This itinerary runs along the river bed of the Chillar river, where Los Cahorros stand out for their beauty, narrow passes through which the river stretches itself until a point where you can touch the side walls just by stretching out your arms. A large part of this route is encompassed by the river bed, due to which one must go prepared as, year round, the water rises to knee level at some points.

    Access to the route is through calle Picasso, one of the streets above the Municipal Sports Centre, leading to a pathway which descends to the river bed. Access can also be gained via the mouth of the river at El Playazo Beach.

    Following the lane which winds through the crops of the Chíllar river we arrive at the confluence with the river Higuerón. On the hill which separates both waterways, La Cruz del Pinto (The Pinto Cross), there is a dry quarry. Behind the quarry the river bed narrows, the crops disappear and the lane continues until reaching La Tecera Fabrica (The Third Factory) or Salto Grande (Great Jump), a small hydroelectrical station.

   From this point one has to continue by foot, via a path which alternates between each of the river edges and loses itself upon reaching Los Cahorros. The vegetation becomes progressively more interesting due to its exhuberance and good conservation. After walking along the river bed for a considerable stretch we reach the tarn known as El Vado de los Patos (The Ford of the Ducks), where we will be able to take a dip. Progress henceforth will be more dificult.

    Approximately 2 kilometres

further up we encounter La Presa (The Dam). At this point the river widens. On our left there is a small eucaliptus forest and a little further up still and on the right we will find a couple of semi-ruined houses in front of which stands a large apricot tree. The dam is a large reservoir to the right of the river where the water accumulates and will eventually reach the irrigation channels which run through one side of the Chíllar valley.

    We can walk back along the borders of these irrigation channels, of about 6,5km length and, halfway, pass through the so-called Cueva de las Palomas (Cave of the Doves). The canal ends at the Tercera Fábrica. This alternative offers us a wonderful landscape, where we can see the entire valley through which the river flows, although care is required as it may be dangerous at some points.

    The distance from the beginning of the route through to the dam is 8km. The time required is that of a whole day, as progress through the water is slow.
