El Chorro was the rock climbers heaven that had been promised. Literally hundreds of routes scattered on multiple crags throughout the gorge and surrounding area. The only downfall was that it was so hot that the amount of climbing had to be limited.
But the primary purpose for going was the El Caminito del Rey (King's Pathway) hike. It was fantastic. It is officially off-limits, so the authorities removed the walkway from the beginning section. So you have to traverse along the cliffside right off the bat. And the anxiety continues down the whole walkway. Although it was interesting that the walk back was much faster and less cautious, as the body becomes accustomed to the tightrope act and gaping holes in the pathway.
To add to the enjoyment, the lodge was run by a nice british family, there were fun other guests, great company, a relaxing pool, and a day spent at the lake. It was exactly what I was hoping for.
