      The reason for its construction was the project designed by the engineer Rafael Benjumea y Burín (1876–1952) to use the potential of winter rain and hydroelectric power by means of dams, pipelines and hydroelectric power stations.[3] This included a canal into which part of the water of the Guadalhorce is diverted through a gorge, the Garganta del Chorro, and which connects two dams of the Sociedad Hidroeléctrica del Chorro, namely the Salto del Gaitanejo and the Salto del Chorro. The Caminito was built to transport the building materials and to maintain the facility in the extremely impassable terrain along the ravine known as the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes (Desfiladero of the Bearded Vultures).
