Trailhead to the Hanging Bridge – Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park

Highlight • Trail

From here you can leave for the suspension bridge, but the path to it is very steep. The path on the komoot map that runs via the river is in reality higher up the mountainside. I would not recommend this path to go up, because it is difficult to see, you can use it to go back down because you can see from above how the path runs.

Canillas de Aceituno suspension bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The El Saltillo suspension bridge crosses the Almanchares river gorge and offers one of the most spectacular views on the Route. Cross it calmly and avoid stopping for too long if other hikers are waiting.

El Saltillo Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

At this point, the next segment of the trail has no guards or railings. High risk section, I wouldn't recommend this section without special gear or experience.

El Saltillo Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

One of the most visited sites in the area of Canillas del Aceituno, this wonderful waterfall with a pool of water is located in a very picturesque and remote spot. It is ideal for the summer months as you can take a refreshing dip in its pool, highly recommended!

Metal Walkway, National Park Sierra de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama

Highlight • Structure

The balcony is closed at the end with a gate, so you can't go any further here, but you can still descend to the suspension bridge.

The trail runs through the canyon of the río de los Almanchares with amazing views along the entire route from the village of Canillas del Aceituno to El Saltillo. Go carefully, there are sections with loose stones.
