\"Caminito<\/a><\/p>\n

The well-known Caminito del Rey<\/strong><\/a>, located in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes near \u00c1lora, is famous for its majestic canyon views, which you can admire from its hanging walkways. Although it used to be known as one of the most dangerous paths in the world, after its restoration in 2015 it became a very safe attraction, one that\u2019s worth visiting at least once in your life. Along the route, you can see geological formations, diverse wildlife and panoramic views over the Guadalhorce River. In addition to the Caminito del Rey, in El Chorro you can explore the Guadalhorce reservoir, the Conde del Guadalhorce dam and enjoy activities such as climbing and water sports.<\/p>\n

It is easily accessible by car from M\u00e1laga via the A-357. There are also trains connecting M\u00e1laga with the stations of El Chorro or Ardales, from where shuttle buses take you to the start of the route.<\/p>\n

The Caminito del Rey is a linear trail<\/strong> of about 7.7 km that can be completed in approximately 3 to 4 hours. The route includes hanged walkways, tunnels and cliffside paths, with a moderate difficulty level. It\u2019s ideal for people with some hiking experience and good physical condition. The best time to visit it is spring or autumn, when temperatures are milder and there are fewer visitors.<\/p>\n

As an exciting new development, the construction of a new 110-meter pedestrian suspension bridge<\/strong><\/a> has been announced. It will open at the end of 2025 and will be the longest of its kind in Spain. This structure will be part of an extension of the route, making it even more spectacular and accessible. Without a doubt, this addition will make the Caminito del Rey one of the best hiking routes in the country and a benchmark among hiking trails in M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n
