El Chorro Gorge Malaga
|
The Guadalhorce River Basin and El Chorro
Gorge
Total length of the trip: 175km.
Malaga is left by the CN 402 in the direction of Alora.
After 19km it approaches the Guadalhorce which it
will follow as far as the reservoir.
Alora (40km from Malaga) lies on a rugged projection
on the left of the road. A visit to the village, which,
by the way, consists of a series of very steep slopes,
is worth the travellers while for many reasons. The
village spreads over a neighbouring hill, on which
an old Moorish castle stands. The whitewashed streets
are sometimes lined with lemon trees and converge
on a square in the lowest part, over which a church
towers. The power of this building is the backbone
of the village. From there it is possible - on foot
or by car - to climb to the castle where the cemetery
of Alora is and from where there is a splendid panorama
of the Guadalhorce river basin. Among the tombs there
is a small Gothic chapel.
The road forks on the outskirts of Alora, but both
branches lead to the same place: El Chorro gorge and
Bobastro. The difference between them is considerable.
The left hand road (the longer: 31km as far as Bobastro
and a little more to El Chorro) passes through lonely
countryside before reaching Carratracaz; that on the
right hand is the more logical way if one does not
mind omitting that lovely mountain village. The best
solution is probably to go on one and return on the
other.
El desfilader (ravine) de los Gaitanes lies at a distance
of 20km from Alora. There, the Guadalhorce begins
its journey towards the sea between two breathtaking
rock walls which are 40m high at some points. Half
way up one of the walls, there is a kind of footbridge
called Camino del Rey (The Kings Walk), but it is
not sure whether it is safe to sue. The road continues
towards the Guadalhorce reservoir. After less than
a kilometre, there are signposts for El Chorro and
for Bobastro, an interesting Mozarab church hewn out
of the rock.
Skirting the reservoir from there for a short time
(the reservoir should always be on the right), Ardales
is reached shortly afterwards. This is a small village
surrounded by corn fields and olive groves.
Carratraca lies at a distance of 7km. It's most outstanding
feature is the old spa dating from 1847 and occupying
a Neo-Classical building. The glazed tile patio with
a pavilion in the centre still preserves unchanged
all the 19C charm of this kind of establishment. It
is only open in the summer. Near the spa there is
the Town Hall occupying a Neo-Caliphal building with
a more fantastic than historicist decoration.
There are only 18km left to be back in Alora.
