How to get there

Panticosa, Huesca.

Approach

On the Panticosa Balneario road, opposite the drinks warehouse, we turn left onto a track that climbs uphill until we leave a farm on the left and becomes flat. In the first few metres of the flat track on the left (car park) there is an access to a farm and the start of a good shady path that zigzags upwards. At the first crossroads turn right (milestones) and continue ascending until you reach a plain where the path goes straight ahead or upwards, we continue straight ahead (milestones) another zigzag ascent and another crossroads also to the right under a large wall. A few more zigzags and we reach the riverbed where we get dressed under the irrigation ditch that diverts the water from the river.

Descent

The gully receives a lot of water in the large spring, so if we see that the upper part (normally almost dry) carries a lot of water, be careful with the last three abseils.

Return

At the end of the last abseil, a path leads off to the right next to an old water intake. Go down some steps and take the track on the right that will take you back to the car.
