Climbing on protruding river rocks from pebbles to boulders - mostly overhanging and sportingly bolted. Incredible!

Get there by train, car, bike, or on foot!
Approach
Follow your nose up through town past the fuente (water fountain), and towards the tower.
Descent:
From the summit, walk climber’s right until you see a metal cable. Follow this to a rap station. There’s a midway anchor if you’re on a single rope.
(From here, there’s a set of rings directly below, taking you into the Cirque de Verano. We didn’t check it out, because we’re on a single 80m, but if someone sniffs it out be sure to update.)
Otherwise, follow the cable down for a couple metres to another rap station that drops you into a gully.
Another cable leads to another rap station. From here’s there’s a bunch of steep scrambling down the gully guided by more cables, before ending in a semi free-hanging rappel. An 80m gets you to the ground, otherwise there’s midway anchors (you might need to bounce a bit).
Back on terra firma, follow your nose back to the refugio for a well earned drink
