Caminito del Rey Visitor Center

Highlight • Rest Area

Since the opening in 2015 of the Caminito del Rey between Ardales and El Chorro in Álora, more than two million walkers have completed the spectacular 7.5 km walk, which has had an economic impact of at least 175 million euros on the region. Half of the visitors to the Caminito del Rey are foreigners and to make the experience better, the visitor centre was finally opened this week after a considerable delay.

Access path no. 2 to the official starting point of the Caminito del rey (dispensing of helmets). It is the short access route to the starting point (1.5km) through a tunnel.

From the dam wall you have a wonderful view of the Embalse de Gauadalhorce and the surrounding landscape. Just take a short break, enjoy the impressions and capture the great perspectives!

This bridge forms the end of Stage 19 of the GR 249 (Gran Senda de Málaga) and is, at the same time, the northern access to the Gaitanes gorge, better known as the Caminito del Rey. From this bridge you can see the Guadalhorce and Guadalteba reservoirs.

Almost picturesque, how the pavilion on the steep slope fits into the landscape of the Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce reservoir. Maybe a bit cheesy, but the proportions of the picture are almost perfect. Be sure to stop and take a picture!
