El Chorro

Home of the famous Caminata del Rey walk along a gorge and a mecca for  rock climbers. A refuge for oldies who didn’t want to walk 25 difficult kms in one day. 

All accommodation booked out so we are sleeping in a tent provided by our hosts at the Olive Branch. Sort of hip place for mad climbers. We fit right in, being a little crazy ourselves. 

The chef was going to have a day off, but as we had no food and it's a long walk to the nearest restaurant, he is now cooking for everyone here! 

View from our tent

Loved our leisurely walk today through a birder’s paradise, spectacular cliffs above us dotted with crazy climbers.

Saw vultures, eagles, choughs and hoopoes amongst others wonderful birds.

Washed a load of clothes. Relaxing afternoon sitting round a lovely pool. This is the life.
