    Hiking

    The Desfiladero de los Gaitanes is a canyon excavated by the Guadalhorce river in the municipality of Álora, with access from the north through the Guadalhorce reservoirs and from the south through El Chorro, which is only 10 meters wide at some points and which reaches 700 meters deep.

    Hiking

    The view from the bridge shows on the one hand the route taken and on the other the Guadalhorce river.

    Hiking

    You can see the bridge from far away. Then you still have to walk a bit.
