Things to do in Caminito del Rey
Discover Caminito del Rey, known as one of the most dangerous routes in the world, located in Malaga, Spain. A favorite for hikers and tourists alike, this walkway suspended over a gorge was reopened in 2015 after undergoing renovations that included more stringent safety measures. Follow the narrow paths and enjoy the breathtaking views and captivating history of one of Malaga's main attractions.
Located between the cities of Álora, Antequera and Ardales in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Gorge, the Caminito del Rey was built over 100 years ago as a passage for the workers of the two hydroelectric power plants in the area.
Explore one of the most beautiful areas of the province, just 19 miles north from Malaga, located in a unique natural environment! The path that begins in Ardales and leads to Álora covers a distance of 5 miles and can take up to four hours to cross canyons and gorges through the paths.

Reviews Caminito del Rey
“Ein sicherer Wanderweg für die angegebene Altersgruppe. Es werden leider zu viele Touristen hindurchgeschleußt und es bleibt keine Zeit um die großartigen Eindrücke zu genießen. Schade!”
“Ottima organzzazione! Percorso molto interessante ed emozionante! Guida simpatica e gentile. Consiglio sicuramente :)”
“Increíble experiencia, los guías Miguel Ángel y Antonio fueron excelentes, muy buena onda, con gran conocimiento del lugar y todos sus aspectos: flora, fauna e incluso datos curiosos sobre las pasarelas. Para repetir :)”
