3.El Chorro: Caminito del Rey Gorge Route Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 753 reviews · from $40

Walk the restored Caminito del Rey above Gaitanes Gorge on a three-hour guided route from the north access toward El Chorro. Your ticket and helmet are included, and guides lead in Spanish or English. Expect cliffside paths, a suspended walkway more than 100 meters above the gorge, and a return-bus fare of €2.50 per person.

“I would recommend everyone visiting Andalucia to make the time to visit El Caminito del Rey if they can. We would have preferred not going with a guide (as it's perfectly safe to do so) but tickets are scarce. We were guided by a young French woman who stopped less frequently than other groups before and ahead of us, and seemed to give a lot less of guided information and stories about the location and its history. It was difficult to understand her, so all in all we were quite disappointed with the "guided" tour. But the venue and experience of doing this hike is worth the money we paid…”
