This beautiful area, which hoards historical treasures and gorgeous scenery, lies in the middle of the Province of Málaga. This beauty spot in the village of El Chorro is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and appealing places in the Province of Málaga . Breathtaking gorges made by the Guadalhorce River of limestone and dolomite are three kilometres long, up to 300 metres high and less than 10 metres wide.
The Caminito del Rey is an aerial trail built in the walls of the Gaitanes gorge. It is a path terraced onto the gorge with a length of 3km in long sections and a width of barely 1 metre. This path is hanging on the vertical gorge walls around 100 metres above the river.
One of the most well known parts of El Caminito is the boardwalk on the Gaitanes gorge. This cantilever bridge is visible from the railway and every one who notices it admires its venturesome construction as well as the picturesque landscapes that can be spotted from there.
From the road that connects Álora with El Chorro, the entrance to the Gorge, a small picturesque bridge connecting the boardwalk on both walls can be seen. From the bridge the pedestrian walkway installed on the walls continues, ending on the railway from Córdoba to Málaga.
