The itinerary
Monachil: starting point
The route begins in the municipality of Monachil, not Granada city. Decide how to get there and where to park before setting off so the approach does not consume hiking time.
Cahorros and suspension bridges
The gorge and suspension bridges are the route’s best-known features. Respect the direction of travel when it is busy and do not stop on bridges for photographs.
Return variant
Choose a return that matches your energy and time. Do not turn a family outing into a long hike without enough water, footwear and daylight for the way back.
Local tips
Check conditions on the day
Rain, high water, works or restrictions can change the experience. Check local official sources before setting out and turn back if conditions are not good.
Minimum kit
Wear grippy hiking shoes and carry water, sun protection and an extra layer according to the forecast. This is not an urban walk or one for smooth-soled footwear.
