Walking through them will make you lose track of time as you get deep into hidden places with unique charm. For the warmer seasons, the hiker always looks for mild temperatures in those trails that run through the high peaks, leaving the harsh winter trails that wander through the lower and middle mountain massif.<\/p>\n<p>Los Cahorros are in the low mountains, not higher than a thousand meters above sea level. It is visited during spring time, when the flowers bloom and everything looks green, although autumn and winter are not bad seasons to admire this beautiful landscape.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57903\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/los-cahorros-puente.jpg\" alt=\"Los Cahorros - Cr\u00e9dito: rui vale sousa \/ Shutterstock.com\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/los-cahorros-puente.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/los-cahorros-puente-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/los-cahorros-puente-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/los-cahorros-puente-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The area of <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/7xBjbzqM6GtcgVdQA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Los Cahorros<\/strong><\/a> belongs to the municipality of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/zzfgLk9pCLo9fsgg8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monachil<\/a><\/strong>, a town that even today still maintains its customs intact, despite its proximity to Granada.

If we came by car, we can leave it at the end of the dirt track, but if you go for a weekend in spring or summer, it is best to leave it at the Era de Portachuelas, which is an esplanade located a few hundred meters above Puntarr\u00f3n bar.<\/p>\n<p>Once we get reach the end of track, we will see a narrow path opening next to a wall block, it is here where we start our walk. Soon we will pass by two cypresses, to briefly get to an area with a small olive grove. We continue walking in a straight line and we will find a wooden sign informing us we are on the right path.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47187\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/cueva-de-la-paloma.jpg\" alt=\"Cueva de la Paloma\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/cueva-de-la-paloma.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/cueva-de-la-paloma-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/cueva-de-la-paloma-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/cueva-de-la-paloma-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now we will walk along a canal omitting a staircase that descends on our right side, soon we will arrive to a suspension bridge which will helps us reach the right side. We will then hear and see the Monachil river , feeling the coolness of its proximity and the thunder of its descent. We are surrounded by large limestone dolomite type walls, where it is not uncommon to find climbers dancing.<\/p>\n<p>The trail runs up some stairs, which are interrupted for a short distance by a smooth flat area, to continue our upward using other steps. Again we will face another suspension bridge, putting our agility and balance on stroller to the test.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47182\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/puente-los-cahorros-2.jpg\" alt=\"Puente colgante de los Cahorros\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/puente-los-cahorros-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/puente-los-cahorros-2-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/puente-los-cahorros-2-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/puente-los-cahorros-2-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once over the bridge, we bump into the ruins of a house, turning to our right we find another huge suspension bridge about 80 meters long. It is the oldest bridge (almost 100 years old), which after many renovations looks solid and safe, avoiding unpleasant shocks and instability.<\/p>\n<p>Across the bridge we see a waterfall, then another one on our right, arising from a ditch that runs through the rock. From here we enter a narrower space, walking on a concrete wall and passing a huge rock wall where we will find some advanced difficulty routes for this climbing area. We continue walking through some rock ledges that threaten to push us into the river, with skill and ability we will go past them, and after a turn, we will have arrived to Las Palomas Cave.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96878\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cascadas-cahorros-rio-monachil.jpg\" alt=\"Cascadas Los Cahorros del r\u00edo Monachil\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cascadas-cahorros-rio-monachil.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cascadas-cahorros-rio-monachil-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cascadas-cahorros-rio-monachil-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cascadas-cahorros-rio-monachil-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The picturesque landscape of Los Cahorros impresses the visitor as we complete the journey, with its very beautiful views. This is the case of Las Palomas Cave, it is surprising to see how the river flows through this chaos of rock. Wwe go inside to cross the gap, continue between gorges with rounded forms moulded by the passage of time.<\/p>\n<p>The road continues very clearly marked, we are still stepping on the concrete wall until the landscape opens up and we leave the wall to step down a dusty path that runs between bushes. We come across a small hut which has a fountain in one of its sides, known by the name of Las Azuelas, to the left over another another suspension bridge we go to the opposite side, to follow the path.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96874\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/sendero-cahorros-rio-monachil-2.jpg\" alt=\"sendero de Los Cahorros del r\u00edo Monachil\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/sendero-cahorros-rio-monachil-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/sendero-cahorros-rio-monachil-2-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/sendero-cahorros-rio-monachil-2-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/sendero-cahorros-rio-monachil-2-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The trail has constant changes of gradient and curved lines on either side, the steep cliffs are scarce, we walk on the sunny side looking for a new river crossing, continuing along the path until we reach the hydroelectric plant La Vega, where we will end our itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The way back<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_18661\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Placa-de-azulejos-referente-al-manantial-de-las-Hazuelas.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18661\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18661\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Placa-de-azulejos-referente-al-manantial-de-las-Hazuelas.jpg\" alt=\"Suspension bridges, canyons and straits on the road along Cahorros del r\u00edo Monachil: Placa de azulejos referente al manantial de las Hazuelas\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Placa-de-azulejos-referente-al-manantial-de-las-Hazuelas.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Placa-de-azulejos-referente-al-manantial-de-las-Hazuelas-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Placa-de-azulejos-referente-al-manantial-de-las-Hazuelas-600x393.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Placa-de-azulejos-referente-al-manantial-de-las-Hazuelas-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Placa de azulejos referente al manantial de las Hazuelas<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The return can be done following the same route we did on the way there, or step back and return following a track that starts near the las Hazuelas fountain, and then take a path on the left that wanders higher and offers views from the large limestone walls.<\/p>\n<p>Sinuously up and down, treading on sandy white terrain that reflects the sun rays.

This walk will become a real adventure in the best Indiana Jones style. Walking over the suspended bridges, crawling through tunnels and caves (Cueva de las Palomas) with plenty of places to stop, have a swim or enjoy a good picnic. A fantastic day for the whole family.<\/p>\n<p>Although suspension bridges may seem very daunting at first sight, considering that the longest is 55m and hangs 15m over the river, they are very safe. While crossing we will notice some movement and shaking, but this adds to the fun. If you suffer from vertigo you may not feel so sure.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to do the whole route, you have to cross four suspension bridges. The longest of all will be the first, then we will find a couple of them, with some sections in bad shape, but they are generally examined and maintained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Restaurants<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57905\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/parillada-de-carne.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/parillada-de-carne.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/parillada-de-carne-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/parillada-de-carne-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/parillada-de-carne-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Restaurante El R\u00edo<\/h3>\n<p>P.\u00ba del R\u00edo, 9, 18193 Monachil, Granada<br \/>\nTel: +34 858 12 51 16<br \/>\nWeb: elrioloscahorros.com<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/i8Vccq1cakfajEju8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Maps\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Restaurante La Cantina de Diego<\/h3>\n<p>Cj\u00f3n. de Ricarda, 1, 18193 Monachil, Granada<br \/>\nTel: +34 958 30 37 58<br \/>\nWeb: restaurantelacantinadediego.es<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/363NyxNmYYLTCkXCA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Google Maps<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57906\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/alcachofas-fritas.jpg\" alt=\"Alcachofas Fritas\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/alcachofas-fritas.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/alcachofas-fritas-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/alcachofas-fritas-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/alcachofas-fritas-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Restaurante El Puntarron<\/h3>\n<p>C\/ Puntarr\u00f3n, 2, 18193 Monachil, Granada<br \/>\nTel: +34 958 30 18 71<br \/>\nWeb: puntarron.es<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/elpuntarron?share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Maps<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Merendero San Garrito<\/h3>\n<p>Unnamed Rd, 18193 Monachil, Granada<br \/>\nTel: +34 607 63 00 59<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/F5zxpEZ5nGBrdTx47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Maps<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Practical tips for enjoying the Los Cahorros trail<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96866\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cahorros-rio-monachil.jpg\" alt=\"Los Cahorros del r\u00edo Monachil\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cahorros-rio-monachil.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cahorros-rio-monachil-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cahorros-rio-monachil-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fuertehoteles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cahorros-rio-monachil-450x295.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check the route beforehand<\/strong>: there are both shorter and longer options available.
