Description
Caminito del Rey, known as 'The King's Little Pathway,' is a scenic walkway located in the province of Málaga, southern Spain. Originally built in the early 20th century to provide access for workers at the hydroelectric plants, the pathway has been transformed into a popular tourist destination due to its breathtaking views and dramatic surroundings. The walkway hangs along the cliffs of the Gorge of Chorro and offers a unique perspective of the beautiful landscapes of the El Chorro area.
In recent years, Caminito del Rey underwent significant renovations to enhance safety and accessibility for visitors. The restored path, now measuring around 3 kilometers in length, features wooden walkways and bridges that provide a thrilling experience as visitors traverse the steep cliffs. The route is surrounded by stunning natural scenery, including the turquoise waters of the Guadalhorce River below and lush vegetation that adorns the rocky walls.
Caminito del Rey is not only a thrilling adventure for those seeking outdoor activities, but it also holds a cultural significance. The site is part of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park and showcases the remarkable engineering of the early 20th century. Visitors to this iconic walkaway can enjoy a memorable experience of both nature and history, making it a must-see attraction for anyone traveling to Andalusia.
