A unique experience with great views throughout

4.00I would say this was a unique experience. I went on a day excursion from Fuengirola because I get a pick up from my hotel, though you can go independently on the train from Malaga if you wish. You will be given a helmet which you are obliged to wear all the time. If you have a guide (as we did) then you are given a radio with earphones so you can hear the guide speaking even if he/she is 30 metres ahead of you. Its about a 10km 3-4 hour walk following the river but the views are wonderful for the whole walk. There is a picnic area at the end with vending huts serving low cost hot and cold snacks/drinks and meals. This tour is obviously no good if you are scared of heights.
Great experience. Glad I did it
