The King’s Little Pathway called the Caminito del Rey is a cliff-side walk hanging 100m above the awe-inspiring El Chorro Gorge
It´s not for the faint of heart with rocks of several hundred meters towering above you.
It is a great experience and definitely worth the trip in spite of the many tourists, as well as all the trouble of getting entrance tickets without guide, as it is often sold out on the official site.
The Caminito del Rey pathway was originally built, because the El Chorro Hydroelectric Company needed access to facilitate the passage of maintenance workers in 1905
The Caminito del Rey was restored in 2014 and has re-opened to the public after being closed for 15 years.
It is now completely safe and unproblematic to walk, especially on the famous boardwalk section, where it is only one metre wide in some places.
The old walkway – the original King´s Little Pathway – can be seen just below.
It is a must see in Andalusia and a great natural experience.
