Great guide. Super accommodating and informative. Route was slightly too easy where only the first third felt like via ferrata whilst the rest was more of a hike

Absolutely loved our day out doing the Via Ferratta in El Chorro. Our guide Alejandro was brilliant at talking us through each step and the safety was always priority. Such beautiful scenery and the zip wire was the best!. Would definitely recommend. 😃 Thanks for a great day out brilliant memories to cherish.
