The third largest hanging bridge in Spain What a nice half day activity will be to visit beautifull white villages, nature of Malaga mountains and visit the third largest hanging bridge in Spain. This 3 hour hikking activity is very pleasent, even though there is a part of the path were the final part close to the bridge is steep and good footwear is necessary for this activity, I would consider medium level. This new hanging Bridge is located in the area of El Saltillo, in Canillas de Aceituno, in a gorge that connects the municipalities of Sedella and Canillas de Aceituno surrounded by the peaks of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park. The bridge is 50 meter long with metal walkways and is more than one hundred meters high from the surface. This route is about 8 km with medium difficulty with spectacular views and you can see mountain goats and some Bonelli’s eagle. We would suggest this activity to those groups they like nature and authentic white villages with a traditional meal in the village and a picnic on the mountain, this would last about 6-7 hours approx For more info:...
