Caminito del Rey is a narrow walkway carved into steep canyon walls in Andalucía, southern Spain, near Málaga. Originally built in 1905 for hydroelectric workers, the path clings to limestone cliffs above the Guadalhorce River gorge. After decades of deterioration and closure, it reopened in 2015 following extensive restoration. Visitors trek the renovated pathway to experience dramatic geology and canyon scenery.
Caminito del Rey is located in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes gorge, Malaga province, Andalusia, Spain. The trail runs between Ardales and El Chorro, approximately 60 kilometres northwest of Malaga city, within a protected natural park alongside the Guadalhorce river system.
