Stretching more than seven kilometres through the Málaga highlands, Caminito del Rey follows the sheer walls of the Gaitanes Gorge between Ardales and Alora. The route crosses hanging bridges, narrow passages pinned to the rock face and glass-floored sections, reaching a canyon viewpoint 105 metres above the Guadalhorce river. Built to supply workers constructing the nearby reservoirs and inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII, it is today one of the most spectacular walks in Andalucía.

Before entering the gorge, the tour normally stops in Ardales — a traditional inland village set in the Sierra de las Nieves, known for its hermitage built into vertical rock walls and its Moorish ruins. Time here to have breakfast and pick up anything you need before the walk.
