Torrent de Coanegra
It starts at the Orient valley and descends channelled between the walls of the Comuna de Bunyola and sa mola de Luc (Orient) until it arrives to Coanega valley. This is the kind of torrent that contains all the characteristics of the Majorcan canyons, but at reduced scale; that is to say, perfect to get started in the barrancs descending world.
Remarks: Perfect with pools filled with water. Everything should be short and hard since neoprene impossibilities in the pools receive the sunrays keep the cold waters of winter.
