Hiking trip: 🌄 Arabic Staircase, El Chorro
Details
Hello trail seeker! 🌿 Ready for a hike that blends nature, adventure, and history?
We’re heading to the Arabic Staircase – a circular route through the peaceful pine forest of Haza del Río and up the legendary steps carved into the mountainside over 500 years ago. ✨ Walking these steps feels like stepping back in time—the path is believed to have been built during the Moorish period to connect trade routes and access water sources🏞️
Breathtaking views, fresh mountain air, and a well-deserved drink at a local bar to finish—what more could you ask for? 🍻
