February 6, 2025,🇪🇦 Klippenwanderung von Maro-Cerro Gordo 🇪🇦

After yesterday's day in the mountains, I decided to go to the coast today. I started at a small car park.

From here I went straight to the first beach, Cala del Cañuelo. In high season there is also a small beach bar here, but at this time it is solitude and quiet... a perfect start. 🌴

This hike is anything but easy, the paths are very narrow, steep, slippery, difficult to follow and sometimes only manageable on all fours. Please only set out with sturdy shoes, headgear and plenty of fluids so that you can enjoy a wonderful view with enough breaks.
