The Rio Alcanadre has some of the best swimming spots in the Sierra de Guara. The Molino de Bierge, is featured in another post. It’s close to the road so very busy at peak times in the summer months. To get away from the crowds you need to walk up into the Peonera Canyon. Take lunch – there are some beautiful spots to go and spend the day.
To get into the canyon, go out of the back of the car park at Molino de Bierge (through the almond groves) and follow a track on the hillside above. It’s a dirt road to a viewing spot with disabled parking.
Drop down almost immediately on a track back to the river bed and then follow the river upstream. After getting you feet wet. you will come to a deep slot pool cut into the sandstone. You can climb along the sides or swim. Continue above this to a deeper set of pools on a bend with big jumps from the rocks. This will take you about half an hour.
