individual.sections.routeTrace
The start has no losers, it is a constant climb where you will see a very marked path. It is up to the stone bed (a stone about 8 meters in diameter) that it gets a little lost but it is only necessary to keep climbing up the sandblaster until you reach a point where you will notice that there are a large number of graffiti and arrows pointing to the left. Following this path you will find the source and here is the steepest part, some 20 minutes taking the sidewalks to the right and you will reach the bike ride, from here you just have to walk flat.
