El Caminito del Rey (The King’s Little Path) is a walkway pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Ardales in the province of Málaga. The walkway was constructed in the early 20th century to provide workers at the hydroelectric power plants at Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls with a means to cross, to provide transport for materials and to help facilitate inspection and maintenance. King Alfonso XIII crossed the walkway in 1921 for its inauguration and it became known by its present name. We believe this is a must see before you leave us, so we will guide you along the stunning walkway with views and scenes every few minutes that will take your breath away.

The nearest town to El Caminito is Álora which is located some 40 km from Málaga, on the bank of the river Guadalhorce and on the Córdoba-Málaga railway line. It is a typical ‘pueblo blanco’, a whitewashed village nestled between rocky spurs topped by the ruins of a castle, we can cycle around and up to El Caminito de Rey on the last day, time permitting of course.
