A really beautiful hike into the Buitreras Gorge. The water in the river is crystal clear and the landscape is simply incredibly beautiful. The hiking trail is well-developed and not particularly difficult (T2). The highlight is definitely the "bathing beach" along the trail. From here you can swim into the gorge... if you dare to go into the ice-cold water.
