El Caminito del Rey Hike
You need to have the courage of a king to walk along the daunting El Caminito del Rey. Seriously, a Spanish king hiked it and gave it its name.
El Caminito del Rey offers impressive views of Malaga's landscape—but this 4.97 miles long walkway is called "The King's Little Path" for a reason: it is only three feet wide. Once considered one of the most dangerous in the world, the famous walkway alongside the steep walls of El Chorro Gorge hangs over 300 feet above a river and connects two former hydroelectric plants. Surround yourself in nature as you walk down the Little Path and take in the stunning views from a unique perspective.
This Shore Thing is among the most popular with Sailors who have visited this port. Book before it is sold out!
