Description

Context The Pasarela ferrata, located in Espeja de San Marcelino, Soria, was the first installed in the province and one of the earliest in Castile and León. This route traverses the Torca Gorge, a narrow canyon with limited elevation, offering access to its inner sections. The wind carries the scent of thyme, and the calls of birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon accompany the journey. ">">The Experience After a safety briefing, you progress along sections equipped with steel anchors and cables, crossing three Tibetan-style suspension bridges that create a strong sense of height and exposure. The rough texture of the rock contrasts with the cool metal of your harness and the sound of the river below. You’ll witness the red kite hawk in flight, and the route includes a controlled rappel and a zip line, adding technical variety and adrenaline. ">">For Whom This ferrata is suitable for individuals with basic to intermediate experience, good physical fitness, and no severe vertigo. It is also appropriate for families with children aged 10 and older, provided they are supervised and possess the agility needed for technical sections. ">">Local Context The surrounding natural area near the Natural Park of the Cañón del Río Lobos features pine forests and a rich presence of raptors such as the golden eagle and the griffon vulture. The activity offers a meaningful connection to this ecological and cultural landscape, where tradition and respect for the natural environment are clearly evident.
