Itinerary description

Started following the red-white band route in El Chorro, went up and over the Arab Staircase (basically just steps cut in stone) and then around one of the peaks through a field and then followed the road back to El Chorro. The initial ascent and the Arab Stairway is a bit more challenging, but the return on the road is an easy walk without any seriously steep incline.

Probably not recommended to people with a fear of heights, there are some bits of the staircase where there's a huge drop on one side without guardrails.
