Ziplining and via ferrata in Granada: John Hogbin routeThe John Hogbin via ferrata in Zafarraya, near Granada, is a 550-meter climbing route where you ascend using fixed anchors, cross suspension bridges, abseil down rock faces and zip line between platforms, guided throughout by a professional who teaches the techniques and monitors your safety.

The exposure is real and the obstacles are genuine, which is what makes it different from a guided hike, and also why it is not the choice if you want a gentler introduction to via ferrata.
