Experience
Local experiences. Local stories.
The Caminito del Rey is a walkway pinned to the walls of the Gaitanes Gorge, suspended 100 metres above the Guadalhorce River. This full-day trip is the easiest way to walk it from the eastern Costa del Sol — without renting a car or piecing together buses.
Pickup is direct from Nerja, Torrox Costa or Torre del Mar. The entrance ticket, the coach transport and an English-speaking guide are all included; you get the history of the walkway and the 1901–1905 hydroelectric works it was built for, and a safety helmet at the entrance.
The walk itself is about 2.5 hours and one-directional, along the original historic path reinforced with modern boardwalks. Book flexibly with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
