  • It's a nice downhill 8km walk from Frigiliana, down the main road until the path that cuts off the horseshoe bend then down to the valley floor path between the houses, valley floor diagonal across...

  • Wonderful adventure, it takes a good 3-4 Hours there, plan on going early morning as it takes the entire day, its wise to wear comfortable trainers, pack a lunch & plenty of water to drink. Wouldn't advise anyone to go if they are unfit or have medical issues as it bcomes rather dangerous at times climbing slippery boulders.
  • For 5s and under 1. Wear solid running shoes/ trainers/ sneakers or good Tevas. Not river shoes which do not have sufficiently thick soles and you will have insufficient grip and sore feet 2. Drive till come to metal barrier then find nearest parking, cause the 'parking lots' are actually about half kilometer walk away 3. There are bamboo sticks near entrance but if have weak knees or ankles maybe bring your own hiking stick 4. Go in morning and expect, even with shortest walk, to spend about 4-5 hours 5. Carry at least a litre water for each person, 1.5 ltr if its hot; and food- fruit, sandwiches, cheese, chocolate, chips 6. Bring backpack with towel and change of shorts etc if you do not want to remain in wet clothes 7. If there is bad weather and especially heavy rain Do Not Go
