Sierra de San Jorge Via Ferrata, Villanueva del Trabuco. Nororma
On this trail you need to rope yourself as there are no cables. Your rock climbing gear must include a dynamic rope, and at least eleven quickdraws. There is also to have the necessary gear for fastening the person who fixes the rope.
There are four long stretches along the trail, which is not rather difficult, except from some vertical walkways and overhangs. It is rather high, but you can enjoy fresh air and wonderful views.
Access
The trail is between the sections of the Tello Cliff and Meseta (Plateau) Cliff, and it is also called Mella.
From Villanueva del Trabuco go along Borreguero Way up to the forest track which goes around the Sierra Gorda up to the Tree Park. There are two bends on the way up. At the second one, you will see a widening on the left, where you can leave your car. You can also continue your way and park next to a hut at the crossroad next to the Tree Park. This site is a little further from the start but it is rather convenient for a return trip.
