O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: The steps feature over 700 stone steps carved into the limestone rock, tracing a steep path up the eastern face of the Rock. Along the route, climbers pass remnants of old military tunnels and crumbling watchtowers that whisper stories of past conflicts.
Zajímavosti: A rare glimpse awaits near the summit, where views stretch to the Moroccan coastline across the shimmering Strait of Gibraltar on clear days. The path snakes past unique Mediterranean flora that flourishes in surprisingly harsh conditions, a delight for nature lovers.
Insider tipy
- Wear sturdy walking shoes with good grip due to uneven and steep stone steps.
- Start early to beat the heat and enjoy quieter trails during weekdays.
- Bring a camera for stunning panoramas especially near the halfway lookout point.
- Avoid the trail after heavy rain as it can get slippery and treacherous.
