Torrent de Comafreda
It starts between Puig den Galilea and Puig the Massanella and it is located at the "Coll de sa Batalla" (with a fast access) where the sporting course commences. This torrent descends smoothly until it arrives at the point where it narrows considerably and at pool "gorg dels ferrerets", always full of water, we shall finish this pleasant "torrenting" day.
Recommendations: Usually dry, conserves water only after rains and during a few days. Consider your long-distance.
