If there is a place with crystal clear water, white stones and lush vegetation it is this: the Barranco Blanco, where the Alaminos river is home to otters and barbels, willows and woodbines. This river flows all year round and is the main tributary of the Fuengirola river. The stroll to Barranco Blanco from Alhaurían el Grande o Coín can be an impressive and relaxing moment, which plenty of visitors end with an enjoyable swim in its pools.
