Malaga

14th April, We have left Grenada and headed for the mountains again. Yes there are more Sierras! This time we are headed for a National Park in Malaga known for it’s unusual rock formations. 
 
  
 
  
 
These formations are the result of differential hardness in the alternating layers of rock. These erode at different rates causing this marvellous layered appearance. 
 
  
 
  
 
We loved the views here, and I couldn’t stop taking photos!
 
  
 
The other National Park near here is in Ardales, Grazelema. It is famous for “the most dangerous walk in the world”! This is walkway susended along the edge of a cliff. It was built for workers to access a hydroplant years ago and fell into disrepair. There was even a section that you had to jump over. Consequently 6 people fell to their deaths in the 1960s, giving the walk its reputation However it has been improved, but still looks too dangerous for my liking. We were content to drive by and look at the walkers risking thier lives, from below. The walk is called Los Gaitenes.
