El Chorro is a Mecca for climbers. However, I opted against going straight up the rocks, but rather explored the area by hiking on several hiking paths. In total, I was away for nearly six hours – maybe not that relaxing in the eyes of some people.

Still, I was quite happy with my choice of hiking up the Sendero Haza del Río, and then even parts of the Sendero de Huma along the Sierra de Huma (to the East of El Chorro).

However, I finally gave up circling the whole massif, as a strong wind caught me at some point, and did not cease again. Still, I had some great views on my hike. On the descent, I even came across a small herd of Spanish ibex.

Back in town, I explored El Chorro Gorge a bit further, and enjoyed the views of the canyon from a hiking trail which was used as an access to the (among climbers) legendary, but now derelict Caminito del Rey.
