Tour Details

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at La Garganta restaurant, located in the village of El Chorro, belonging to Alora. There we'll board a shuttle bus that will take us to the starting point of the King's Little Pathway, just 15 minutes away.

We'll get off the vehicle and, after a short walk through pine trees and Mediterranean vegetation, we'll arrive at our destination. Here, we'll put on our safety helmets and start walking along the footbridges of the Caminito del Rey, a visit you'll never forget! 

Our route will take us along a 3.5-hour tour, admiring the incredible views of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes that the Caminito del Rey offers. As we enjoy the scenery, you'll learn all about the history of this route and its links with King Alfonso XIII going back to 1921 and of course how the route got its name!

For 3 hours, we'll walk between high rock walls that are over 300 metres (984 ft) high! from these impressive heights, we'll see how the Guadalhorce River itself has created an increasingly steep landscape over time.

Finally, we'll return to the bus and, after 4 hours of activity, we'll finish the tour at the starting point.
