The Caminito Del Rey is located in the breathtaking Gorge Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes, where it reaches a mere 10 meters in width and plunges 700 meters deep. Translated as ‘The King’s Little Pathway’, the Caminito was initially constructed to facilitate access to various reservoirs that supplied water to a hydroelectric plant. It was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII, from whom it derives its name.
Originally, the pathway was perilously suspended on metal rods affixed to the gorge’s side, making it a hazardous endeavor. Over the last century, neglect led to its deterioration and crumbling structure. This rendered it extremely unsafe, resulting in numerous fatalities, prompting its closure. However, this did not deter adventurous souls from attempting to traverse or climb it.
Recently, the pathway has undergone extensive renovations, rendering it safe for exploration once more, and it now stands as one of the most extraordinary walks in the world.
