The Caminito Del Rey is located in the breathtaking Gorge Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes, where certain stretches measure a mere 10 meters in width and plunge 700 meters deep. Translating to 'The King's Little Pathway,' the Caminito was originally built to facilitate access to a series of reservoirs that supplied water to a hydroelectric plant. The path was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII, hence its name.
Originally, the walkway was perilously constructed, clinging to the gorge's walls on metal rods that were driven into the rock. Over the last century, however, the path fell into disrepair and began to deteriorate. This decline resulted in a dangerously hazardous trail, leading to numerous fatalities, prompting its closure. Yet, despite the danger, many adventurers continued to attempt traversing or climbing it.
Fortunately, a few years ago, the walkway underwent comprehensive restoration, transforming it into a safe and secure experience. Today, it stands as one of the most astonishing walks in the world.
