• The Cerrada del Utrero is one of the shortest routes in the park and yet one of the most beautiful.
  • A clearly marked path leads us to the waters of the Guadalquivir, which flows squeezed into a narrow gorge.
  • After a ten-minute walk we are beside the small Cerrada reservoir. From here the water runs down steep slopes to the El Valle power station.
  • At this point we can see how the narrow gorge has opened up and its walls have grown very tall, forming a spectacular landscape.
  • In view, too, is the famous Linarejos waterfall, a spectacular 60-metre fall that we will cover in another article.
