Great experience with local guide! - Transport was smooth, we got welcomed by a friendly guide who took us on a lovely hike through the park. He explained a lot about the history of the place and about the geology, plants and wildlife. We had a great experience and would totally recommend it!

Must do it! - Alphonso was great guide. Weather did not permit us to go to torcal but went to Frigelli to hike which was a very cool town and hike.

True nature with a small group, uncontrolled wilderness. - Truly natural hiking, so complicated under foot, but easily worth it but anyone with medical issues really needs to be aware.
An early start meant avoiding the max heat. Nice to be away from crowds, uncluttered and looking out for goats on the horizon when I could look away from my feet. Great small group tour, exactly the right size.

Hiked the yellow route... - Hiked the yellow route with a good guide. Would recommend an early start, the park tends to get overrun later in the day

Otherworldly and Beautiful - We had an amazing hike and highly recommend it. It is a moderate hike and very rocky- we had sturdy hiking shoes. The landscape is otherworldly and amazing. We saw so many Andalusian mountain goats- it was fun looking for them. Leaving at 8 in the morning meant we had the place to ourselves for most of the hike- great plus!

Spectacular views - I’d never seen a landscape this before. It was really interesting. The hike itself was a great work out as well as you have to pick your way through the rocks in the path and there are some good inclines as well. The view at the top is really spectacular. You are really high up.
Our leader, Alphonso, was very knowledgeable and pointed out mountain goats that we wouldn’t have spotted without him. He also showed us a maple tree that was really interesting as we are Canadian and it looked similar but very different from the maple trees in Canada.
It is much cooler and windier there than in Malaga so dress in layers because in the sheltered areas it is quite warm.
I highly recommend this tour!
