Via Ferrata
Vertical rock and cable bridges climbing the hillside beneath one of Andalusia's most iconic white villages, a short drive from Estepona.
Casares sits on a hillside above the Genal Valley, and its via ferrata climbs the rock face directly beneath the village — cabled sections and bridges with the white houses and castle ruins in view for much of the route. Graded K2, it suits guests with a normal level of fitness and no previous via ferrata experience.
For guests wanting more of a challenge, Via Ferrata El Caimán runs through the cork oak forest of Los Alcornocales Natural Park, and Castillo del Águila is the most demanding climb we offer on the Costa del Sol.
Casares combines naturally with a canyoning route earlier in the day for guests staying around Estepona or Manilva, or with a relaxed visit to the village itself afterwards.
If you'd rather pair your climb with a visit to Ronda, the Tajo de Ronda via ferrata is the better starting point. See via ferrata near Ronda →
