From Portiacha we cross the Rio Vero
and enter a canyon on the other side called Basender. Despite being
right across the river, the drainage is quite different, with moss
that coats the walls of the canyon lending a greenish tinge to the
scene. |

Here's John rappelling down a section
with interesting light. Unfortunately, this pretty grotto is marred by
a considerable amount of graffiti located just outside of the frame. |

|
Ok, one more photo of Basender. |

|
Not satisfied with doing only two canyons in one day,
we shoot for a third and head down Mascun Inferior, which just happens
to be right outside our campsite. The travertine formations on the
right side of the photo below remind me of 'bacon' formations found in
caves. |

|
This photo was taken at water level as we floated down
through the lower end of the canyon. The subject of the picture has a
'Bear's Ear' flower stuck to her nose, ..... one of the many hazardous
outcomes of canyoning in this dangerous part of the world. |
|
|
There is a substantial amount of history in Spain, some
of which can be found right in the canyons. We pass directly under an
ancient bridge on the hike out. |
