El Chorro

Travel Guide

Millennia ago, this is where Africa collided with Europe.  The mountains to the left were formed by the collision, and the fertile (green) valley between the ridges was formed by deep sea deposits as the mountains on either side eroded and broke down.  Pretty cool to see the stark difference in vegetation between the ridges and just outside of them.

There are signs to get you to this particular viewpoint, and an English description of the scene once you get here.

The beginning of #elcaminitodelrey in #elchorro. Some people says it's the most #dangerous #hike in the #world! Sadly we didn't make it before restoration. So we can't tell you. #troveron #spain #nature #travel #travelingtheworld #wanderlust

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room had a bad odor. The "double bed" was two singles pushed together.
