12.Via Ferrata Hike at village of El Chorro

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · from $84

4-hour K3 via ferrata in El Chorro, Andalusia, with Tibetan bridge, monkey pass, and a 35m zip line, small groups, safety gear included.

“This Via Ferrata was my favorite part of our trip to Spain. Alex was a great guide, and the price was way cheaper than we would pay in the states. The El Chorro Caminito is fairly easy and doesn't take much upper body strength because there is little overhang. There is some hiking involved before and after the climbing, and that takes a while. The equipment and instructions were very good, and the cable bridges and zipline were fun, very much like a ropes course. I think anyone in decent physical shape, who isn't afraid of heights, could do this via ferrata.Read more”

Half-day hike from Malaga to the Cliffs of Maro, then snorkel a secluded bay. Small group, included gear, and a 16th-century tower.

“Amazing activity; nice hike with beautiful views topped with snorkelling in a super warm, secluded bay with many fish. Alfonso is great, very relaxed yet totally responsible and alway in control. He broke the monotonicity of the flat part of the hike with a botany lesson where we learned to recognize mango & avocado trees, sugar canes, chilli moya (spelling ok? we did not know at all this one), and much more. This is a relatively easy hike, just a tiny bit challenging for people who never did any hikes before only because the path is narrow and occasionally one slides on the dry dirt. This activity is totally worth…”

“Great hike along the cliffs in the natural park of Maro and Nerja. Moderately strenuous hike with some steep areas and loose gravel. Thanks David for helping Monica on some of the downhills! Breathtaking views along the coast from the top. Our family of four from US with two young teens and family of 3 from South Africa. We made our way down to a small remote beach with a pebbly shore that was a little tough on the feet without water shoes. Water was chilly but refreshing after the hike. Visibility was limited near shore by surf break breaking and some floating algae but there were lots of fish…”
