Caminito del Rey by Bravo

4.5/5
208 reviews

A scenic drive inland from the Costa del Sol, the Caminito del Rey is one of Spain's most heart-stopping trails. And this hike through the legendary route in the Guadalhorce Valley is one you won't easily forget. You'll trek through the Gaitanes Gorge while learning of the unique geological formations of this awe-inspiring landscape.

From Malaga's Lake District, you'll set out on foot for the Gaitanes Gorge, the canyon carved out of the bedrock by the sweeping River Guadalhorce. Stroll along a recently renovated boardwalk set on the sheer face of the gorge, which in some places is nearly 700m deep and only 10m wide.

This walkway was originally built a century ago and was named Caminito del Rey – ‘the King's Walkway' – after King Alfonso XIII, who officially opened it. Your guide will explain all about the rock formations as well as the impressive feats of engineering.

    I didn't like that the stop in the town of Ardales was for a short time. Being something new there was more to explore. I also would have liked the guide and explanations to be in Romanian because I purchased the tourist package from Romania. The Caminito tour was magnificent and leisurely.

    Het bezoek aan het dorpje, vòòr de rit naar Caminito, was voor mij niet nodig geweest.

    De rit ernaar toe was echt heel erg lang, we wisten dat dit wel 3 uur zou duren maar uiteindelijk waren we door een extra stop voor de chauffeur zonder waarschuwing en een pzue van 1.15 uur om 12.30 pas bij de Caminito. De reisleiding onderweg was weinig spraakzaam maar ter plaatsen hadden we een gids ablo die dat meer dan goed maakte. Al met al een leuke wandeling.De terugreis verliep soepel en toen waren we in 2.5 uur thuis via een kortere weg.

    Eerste stop in dorp vond ik niet nodig. Wandeling was heel mooi en de gids was een dame, heel behulpzaam en vriendelijk ! Om terug te keren naar hotel Triton in Benalmadena 3,5 uur in de autobus gezeten door stops in vele andere badplaatsen, dus vertrokken om 7.40u en terugkomst 18.30 u.

    De excursie zelf was geweldig, maar de busreis terug was n.m.m. te lang. Vanuit Torremolinos is de reis naar Caminito Del Rey ongeveer een uur en 5 minuten. De terugreis was meer dan 3 uur in de bus, omdat we via Marbella zijn teruggereden. Na een wandeling van 8 kilometer en meer dan 3 uur in de bus terug is wel zeer vermoeiend. Ook is er geen toiletpauze meer ingelast. Dit mag bij het boeken gezegd worden. Dit zou ook anders georganiseerd kunnen worden.
