Il caminito del Rey si trova a 50 km da malaga, tra i paesini di Ardales e Alora ed è uno dei percorsi più spettacolari al mondo 🌍 Questo sentiero che oggi può essere percorso in tutta sicurezza in gruppi guidati o per conto proprio, è stato costruito agli inizi del 900 per facilitare gli spostamenti degli operai e dei materiali tra le due stazioni idroelettriche che si trovavano in entrambi i lati della gola El Chorro, un piccolo villaggio 👷 Qui tante persone persero la vita e proprio per questo motivo il governo spagnolo decise di chiuderlo nel 2000 ☠️ Dopo i lavori necessari per metterlo in sicurezza è stato riaperto nel 2015 e oggi è considerata una delle esperienze più elettrizzanti in Spagna! 💡 Il nuovo percorso è stato costruito alcuni metri più in alto rispetto a quello originale che in certi punti è ancora possibile vedere! 🏞️ Il percorso tra le pareti è di circa 3km ma a questi vanno aggiunti circa 4 km per raggiungere il punto di inizio dal parcheggio e il sentiero per tornare alla macchina. Il percorso è facile e non richiede particolari competenze ma è sicuramente poco adatto a chi soffre di vertigini! ❌ 📌 Trovate nei commenti il sito ufficiale dove poter prendere i biglietti! Prenotateli con largo anticipo perché vanno a ruba! 📍 Caminito Del Rey, Parking Ardales Caminito del Rey (qui è dove vi consiglio di lasciare l’auto 🚗) #viaggioinspagna #caminitodelrey #andalusia #ontheroad #europa #traveltips

Would you do a hike like this?😱 We got this hike from our guide from Caminito del Rey. She said it was 2 hours, you have to be able to use the Wikiloc app (which says it was 5,5 hours). But it was easy🙈 Well it was hell.... beautiful... but hell. There were no paths. I'm not exaggerating. 5% was a trail 30% were goat trails and the rest was just climbing over rocks or going through dense forests and even a swamp😱 Was it worth it... ehmmm yes. But I would do the same route back. Because those caves were amazing. We had to go through tunnels and came out at another cave. Saw the Caminito del Rey from the other side, sitting on the edge of a 400 meter high cliff really made out blood rush and our heads dizzy. But wow the view was amazing🥰 We even saw griffon voltures up close on those cliffs. Maybe they knew what was coming😂 Because going down after those caves was ridiculous. There were absolutely no paths to see. The guy who made this route must have been tired of life. It was so steep and slippery. I fell once and had a breakdown short after. Because how on earth would we go down😭 Our GPS (from my phone) wasn't accurate enough so that made it even harder to see where the guy who made this route went down😢 On our way down, after my breakdown, they must have opened the dam. Because the waterfalls were getting so much bigger. Which was a welcome distraction from my fear of those steep rocks💙 When we finally made it down, and searching where to go next. We found a path which went through a swamp. I completely broke down. Because going back wasn't an option. We were halfway after 5 hours of hiking🤯 Going through the swamp was a nightmare, but we had to do it. After that we had to go through a dense forest with sharp bushes and again no sign of a trail. Just wild goat trails. Which meant we got scratches and my hair got stuck 1000 times in those bushes😱 We made it in 7,5 hours and 5 breakdowns. Looking back at the videos it was worth it. This is a hike we'll always remember. In a good and bad way 💜 Check our stories for more . . . . #hikespain #caminitodelrey #hikingtrails #hikingtrail #hikingtheglobe #hikinglovers #hikinglover #crazyhike

First, let me say that this is a very popular and amazing hike and you MUST buy tickets online in advance for access to the trail. We saw several hikers turned away that did not buy tickets in advance. Second, the website is not very good in terms of explaining how to do the hike, how to find the reception area, how to access the trail or where to park, or what to expect. The blogs that I read were not that helpful, either. The visitors center was not open when we arrived there, so don’t count on that!! We were able to purchase our trail tickets online, but never were able to buy bus tickets for the return (the link does not work!), so be sure to have some cash with you (2.50 Euros each) for the return bus trip. Now… on with some useful information. The reception area is a little hard to find, but worth it! We booked a guided tour and we were not disappointed. You can easily do the hike on your own without a guide, but you still need advance tickets. It is probably one of the most amazing hikes that we have ever done on this planet, and not one to be missed! The total hike only took about 2 hours for us, and was not strenuous. We parked in a small parking lot adjacent to the tunnel entrance to the trail, which is noted on Google maps. (Type in “Parking Ardales Caminito del Rey”). Then, it was about 100 yards walk from the parking area to the tunnel access to the trail that leads to the reception center. Parking costs 5 Euros. There is plenty of free parking along the road where the access tunnel is located, and many people chose that option, but it is a busy trail and the parking options fill up quickly. Plan to arrive early or you may have issues finding a place to park. Parking is available at the visitors center, but there is no definite schedule for bus pickups from there to take you to the entrance to the trail. Also, we arrived at about 9 o’clock in the morning and the visitors center was not open yet. (??) It’s best to park closer to the entrance of the trail, if you can. We had printed tickets that we bought online, and we were placed with our guide and given helmets for the hike. The hike is a once in a lifetime experience, and is fairly easy, as you are on well developed walkways with plenty of cables to grab and fencing along the edges for safety. The views along the trail are expansive. Expect to take a lot of photos! At the end of the trail, there are several small food stands where you can get snacks or a beer, etc. There are restrooms at the start and end of the trail, but nothing along the trail. After a snack or a drink, you will walk another 200 yards or so up the hill to catch the shuttle bus back to the parking area and entrance to the trail. The bus is 2.50 Euros each, and you MUST pay cash! They say that you can buy bus tickets online, but don’t count on that. (Some hikers had bus tickets that I believe they purchased at the visitors center. Don’t count on that being open, though) Just have the cash ready to pay the bus driver at the end. It’s a great experience that I would definitely recommend when you are in the area!! Check it off of your list….
