Torrent d’Almadrà
It starts up at the Cúber dam. This is its natural drain at the foot of Puig Major - 1415 m - and the water runs between the Tossals massif and the Puig de sa Rateta, both higher than 1000 m, until it arrives tamely to the "font des Pi" near the Tossals shelter. The sporting part takes place in the middle of the walls and rocky landscape that well deserve a visit... (or two).
Recommendations: Ideal after rain, where we carry neoprene.
