We have been coming to this area for quite some time and have never seen so much water in this rambla. A rambla is actually a "gutter" to carry excess water out of the mountains. A gutter not as neat as a merchant gutter but a gully worn out by water and rock in the land. Water always seeks the lowest point and that is why a river or in this case a rambla meanders through nature. The steeper the land the faster the water runs. With real height difference it can even lead to waterfalls. You don't have waterfalls there, but one of half a meter in height does.
The area through which the rambla del Cañar runs is quite dry. All the more there is life of flora and fauna in and on the edge of the rambla. Many plants and shrubs come to life and show their most beautiful flowers. By making the picture in black and white it gives a more dramatic image of this piece of nature.
