El Chorro

El Chorro loop, 5 km - Complejo Turistico Rural La Garganta

We decided to stay here another day to enjoy the area and made a short loop hike out to see the  famous bridge on the Camino del Rey. We climbed high above it - not a trail for anyone with a fear of heights!!!  We had good views of the cliff on the other side of the gorge that we are going to climb tomorrow. If it goes up as steeply as the water pipe we can see, it is going to be a very difficult climb. Given my difficulty today on sheer loose rock, I am worried about tomorrow.

There are rock climbers everywhere here. Every time you go around a corner you see more campervans. I'd say the village has at most a population of 150 , and there must be 300 climbers here. Czytaj więcej
