Natural value
The Canyon of the Buitreras, without fear of being mistaken, is perhaps with the Hundidero-Gato complex, and the Tajo de Ronda, the most spectacular of the Serrania de Ronda. A narrow crack in the rock, with vertical walls that surpass for some places the 100 meters, through which the river Guadiaro flows. It is an excursion that does not require experience or physical preparation. In times of flood, it is better not to cross the channel, as it is not the first time that you have to go to Civil Protection to help hikers.
