Caminito del Rey Guided Tour

 

Restored in March 2015, Caminito del Rey, formerly a service road, has
now become one of the main tourist destinations in the province of
Malaga. The tour is guided, which makes a big difference as the guide
explains the history and tells many anecdotes, making the journey very
exciting and pleasant. The routes are 7.7 km and 10 km long, which
make for approximately 3 hours of pure enjoyment in the beautiful
Natural Park of the Gaitanes.
The El Caminito de Rey hike is spectacular the whole way from the Count
of Guadalhorce Reservoir to its end at El Chorro Dam. Placed in unique
natural surroundings, the path stretches between two gorges, canyons,
and a large valley, all along pathways or boardwalks. The route is linear,
not circular, and it goes in one direction, downwards from the north to
the south. Its beginning is in the Town of Ardales and the end in Álora.
The route is almost 8 km long, and takes from 3-4 hours to be crossed.
