Be careful, after the Dana, the path that crossed under the waterfall is impassable. So either you go up on the right to visit the small caves, or you go up to the left (castle side) to visit the large caves, but you can no longer do the loop. (Still valid at the end of February 2025)

Update after La Dana, the fountain is almost destroyed, but the water is still flowing, now at ground level (I put a photo).

2.75 km with an average gradient of 7.5% and a maximum of 11.4% for a total of 168m of positive gradient. The only "snag" is that to climb the whole route, you have to go past the entrance to Collado Uman. If you want to do both, you have to go over the top of Puerto de la Cruz and turn back a few metres to start the pass.

A small additional, useful detail: this fountain has water all year round, even at the end of summer.
