🧑🏽‍🎄 Trail Highlights 🎄

Join the pack this Saturday for a special Christmas hike in one of the most scenic areas of Málaga.

We’ll start from El Chorro train station, hiking through peaceful pine forests before reaching the historic Escaleras Árabes (Arab Stairs) — an ancient stone pathway once used to connect rural settlements. From this point, we’ll enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the turquoise lakes of El Chorro and the surrounding mountains, one of the true highlights of the route.

We’ll take a well-deserved break to relax, enjoy the views, and soak in the festive atmosphere before continuing at a comfortable pace towards the end of the hike.

🎅 Festive spirit welcome!
Feel free to wear your Christmas jumper, Santa hat, or anything that makes you feel festive — let’s bring some holiday cheer to the mountains.
