The fame of El Chorro and its Caminito del Rey does not stop growing and, as you will be seeing if you are cycling in the area, it is normal: the gorge is a spectacle, the walls are overwhelming and tempt you to visit them hanging through their catwalks. If you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to visit the Caminito. Although I recommend that you book your ticket with some anticipation.

From here you can take a spectacular hike through the gorge. But what the eye can see from the street is also worthwhile.
