The Caminito del Rey is a 3 km walkway that hugs a vertical cliff in the impressive Desfiladero de los Gaitanes gorge

The Caminito del Rey is a spectacular route that runs through the gorge of El Chorro, near Ardales, in Malaga. It was built to supply food and materials to the workers of the hydroelectric facilities in the area. Its name comes from the walk that King Alfonso XIII took along this route to inaugurate the Conde del Guadalhorce dam in 1921.

One of the most thrilling and naturally beautiful experiences in Andalusia

The Caminito del Rey is famous for its stunning scenery and breathtaking views

It was restored in 2015 and has become a first-class tourist attraction, for the thrilling experience of walking along a wooden structure, on the edge of an abyss that can reach 100 meters deep, in a wonderful natural environment.

💡 Practical info about the Caminito del Rey

Near the Malaga town of Ardales, about 50 minutes from Malaga city, 60 km from Ronda or 55 from Antequera, is the Caminito del Rey, a unique attraction. The visit can be done on your own or with a guide. We recommend always bringing water and something to eat (such as nuts, fruit, sandwich etc)

The walk, once known as one of the most dangerous in the world, reopened to the public in 2015 after major safety improvements by local authorities.

The excursion is not recommended for people with vertigo or a fear of heights since it is done on almost 3 km of platforms suspended between cliffs, which is completed with trails in the mountains and in the forest. There is an alternative option to the platforms suspended in the air, through a tunnel parallel to the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes which is used in adverse weather conditions such as rain or strong wind. Nevertheless, it is an entirely safe route.

The pathway is built along the steep walls of a narrow gorge, and it offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This makes it a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers.
