Jur & Veleta both right.

Mind you we didn't see any Lynx :(

That´s really interesting, which region is this? (at 1.30 in the video looks pretty scary as well, I should bring the wife up once)

Fred, nice foto!

Its about an hour drive north of Malaga city.There is a small camp site about 300 meters to right of the photo.Nothing special, pretty basic site surrounded by trees, has a small pool with great view of the hill above.

The walk isn`t recommended without climbing knowledge and safety gear, but some do it without.:rofl:

The other side of the photo, the left, there is a small bar/rest along the road you can walk towards the resovoir along the river.

Von Ryan Express was filmed there back in the 1960`s, also the terrain near one side of El churro is straight out of a spagetti western.

The walk has been closed for years after 5 people dying as they tried to do it, you don`t bounce from 100 or so mtrs. ;-)
