Itinerary

The Genal River flows across the heart of the Serrania de Ronda District, to the west of Malaga province. We are visiting a scenic stretch between the Puente (bridge) de San Juan and the Charco (pool) de la Escribana, a beautiful river forest composed of black poplars, ashes and great reeds, surrounded by cork oak and maritime pine forests.

June is the perfect month to come for a pleasant walk in the shade and even a bath in the river, but also to listen and try to spot one of the most gorgeous and elusive of our summer feathered visitors: the Golden Oriole
