Río Pícaro Trail

Check access before setting out. Getares, around the riverside park and Calle Orión. Check current diversions for footbridge renewal.

The landscape, step by step

Getares is enjoyed differently when a visit begins by looking towards the river. The Pícaro introduces riverside scenery beside the beach and reminds us that a cove cannot be understood solely from the sand. Fresh water, vegetation and urban space meet here at an intimate scale, suitable for a quiet outing that attends to detail rather than pursuing a great summit. The idea is to combine whichever riverside promenade is open with the seafront, observe where river and sea meet and end with a pause facing the bay.

It is a flexible proposal, especially important while pedestrian connections are renewed. In June 2026, the council announced removal of the old footbridge between Calle Orión and Los Camarotes: an earlier photograph or track does not prove the crossing remains available. Adapt your walk to current signs and do not wade across to complete a circuit. Enjoying this corner also means recognising that the river needs space and its banks are a living environment.

Distance is adaptable to open sections; no complete circuit is published until continuity of passages is confirmed.

Where to walk and what to discover

1. Reach the Getares area using open public streets and passages.
2. Walk only the open section of the Río Pícaro riverside park.
3. Return towards the seafront without entering construction areas or wading across the river.
4. Continue beside the beach and choose a turnaround point according to available time.
