What to expect
This is a straightforward three-hour circuit that rewards steady legs with views. You'll start with transport from Granada, then walk through open scrubland toward the river valley where the landscape narrows dramatically. The gorge section—Tajos de la Hoz—is the walk's centrepiece: water has carved vertical rock faces that frame the river below, and the vegetation here feels almost lush by comparison with the surrounding hills. The suspension bridge crossing is brief and sturdy. You'll finish at a fountain fed by underground springs before looping back. Walking sticks provided, photos taken throughout.
Good to know
Graded easy but involves three hours on foot with some uneven terrain. Not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Service animals welcome. Infants must be held. Private vehicle handles transport.
