Intermediate Via Ferrata at Cuevas de San Marcos, Sierra del Camorro

Context The Falla del Camorro via ferrata is located in the Sierra del Camorro, a Natura 2000 Site within Cuevas de San Marcos, Málaga. This 145-meter route with 50 meters of vertical gain features two technical overhangs, particularly the first, which demands strong balance and upper-body strength. Wind carries the scent of thyme as you ascend, and the protected environment restricts access to safeguard nesting birds such as the golden eagle. ">The Experience** Begin with a short drive to the trailhead, followed by a short walk to the starting viewpoint. After receiving your safety gear and a brief briefing, you’ll start the guided climb along the via ferrata, tackling the two overhangs that test your technique and endurance. The rough texture of the limestone rock feels under your hands as you enjoy sweeping views across the Subbética and hear the songs of local birds. ">For Whom** This activity is suitable for individuals aged 14 and older with basic to intermediate experience in via ferrata or rock climbing. Ideal for families with teenagers and nature lovers seeking a moderate physical challenge with vertical exposure. ">Local Context** The Sierra del Camorro features natural landmarks and traditional practices such as transhumance. Nearby, the Cueva de Belda and the Senda de los Milenios Interpretation Center offer cultural enrichment, enhancing the experience of this protected region.
