About
- Suspension bridge on the Río Almanchares section of the Gran Senda de Málaga
- Official regional tourism information gives 50 m length, 1.20 m width and about 78 m height
- Located in the dramatic El Saltillo gorge between Canillas de Aceituno and Sedella
Good to know
- Exposed mountain route: unsuitable for severe vertigo and requires care with children
- Wear proper footwear, carry water and avoid adverse weather
- The continuation of GR-249 beyond the bridge is substantially harder than the popular out-and-back visit
