In Andalusia we are fortunate to have a natural gift, carved over millions of years: the awe-inspiring Gaitanes Gorge. The origins of this trail date back to the early 20th century, when the daring workers of the Chorro Hydroelectric Society needed a way to traverse this formidable rock canyon, creating a path just 1 meter wide and 3 kilometers long, suspended 100 meters above the ground. Later, King Alfonso XIII crossed it during the inauguration of the Conde de Guadalhorce Dam and gave it the name it still bears today: El Caminito del Rey. From Granada, travel to El Chorro and enjoy this spectacular route, with vertiginous walkways, towering bridges, and breathtaking views over the gorge.
