A few meters further up there is a roofed spring. It is advisable to fill our bottles, as there are not many springs along this route. The path moves uphill in the village. At a few meters from the spring there is a junction with another path on our right, which we ignore (photo). A bit further up it merges with another path and we keep to the right (photo).

There is usually no water in the summer.
