🌁Once the world's most hazardous footpath

This almost 8-kilometre path near Malaga (Andalusia) was once considered one of the most dangerous in the world. Today the entire route has been carefully restored, but although it's now much safer, one thing hasn't changed - the unique experience of strolling along walkways hanging over 100 metres up on a sheer cliff face. The views are unforgettable. 

👉🏻Things to bear in mind
In addition to a general visit completed at your own leisure, there is also the option of a guided tour to learn more about the region’s history, geography and biodiversity.

It’s advisable to bring water🥤, a snack (chocolate🍫, nuts🥜, fruit🍑, etc.), or a sandwich🌯. 

The characteristics of the trail, between tall cliffs on walkways and bridges suspended at a great height, will make the hardiest walker dizzy and it is definitely not recommended for anyone with a fear of heights.

👉🏻Instructions to get your ticket for the Caminito del Rey
* Remember! CLOSED ON MONDAYS...
* When does the path open? Every day from Tuesday to Sunday.
* When does it close? Every Monday, and January 1st, December 24th, 25th and 31st December

💸Entry permits are 10 Euros per person, 18 for the guided tour and 11,55 for the entry and shuttle bus… Payment is made by credit/bank card in full during the booking process. (Paypal may also be available).
