Grotto of 5. Fully recovered. Summer route par excellence in our area. Not very complicated, although it has a part with many "holes". The water of the Alberche river was very cold. By the way, a lot of people. The climb to El Morro a little hotter than usual. Cool day.

Group of 6. Wet terrain with good grip. Exploring some new trails. Dantesque, punctures and more punctures, the "caltrops" are the culprits. Three at the back and two at the front, thanks tubeless 😅.
