Hiking

The last few hundred meters are among the most beautiful of the entire tour. Vertical rock walls and the bridge over the Guadalhorce. Since the bridge is attached to steel cables, it wobbles when you cross it. The view from the bridge is fantastic.

Hiking

Suspension bridge over the Gaitanes Gorge (also called "Puente Colgante"): The 32 m long suspension bridge over the Gaitanes Gorge spans the impressive Gaitanes Gorge in the El Chorro Nature Park, at a height of 105 m. It offers a breathtaking view of the rock walls and the El Chorro reservoir, combined with fascination and a little thrill when it sways slightly under the running steps of the visitors.

Mountaineering

As you cross the suspension bridge made of steel cables and steel grating, which is just over 30m long, you must secure your helmet well, as the wind blows strongest here. Additionally, the bridge wobbles a bit.
