Caminito del Rey day trip Málaga, Benalmádena and Torremolinos

Restored in March 2015, the Caminito del Rey, formerly a service road, has now become one of the main tourist destinations in the province of Malaga. The guide explains the history and many anecdotes that make the journey very exciting and pleasant.

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.

The route is almost 8 km long, and takes from 3-4 hours to be crossed.
