    The last few hundred meters are among the most beautiful of the entire tour. Vertical rock walls and the bridge over the Guadalhorce. Since the bridge is attached to steel cables, it wobbles when you cross it. The view from the bridge is fantastic.

      Suspension bridge over the Gaitanes Gorge (also called "Puente Colgante"): The 32 m long suspension bridge over the Gaitanes Gorge spans the impressive Gaitanes Gorge in the El Chorro Nature Park, at a height of 105 m. It offers a breathtaking view of the rock walls and the El Chorro reservoir, combined with fascination and a little thrill when it sways slightly under the running steps of the visitors.

        This is one of the most attractive and at the same time exciting parts of visiting the Caminito del Rey. Crossing the 32 meter long suspension bridge at a height of 105 meters.

          The absolute highlight of the hike. You should not be afraid of heights. But nothing can go wrong, as there are railings there.

            Seems more exciting than it is. Only in strong winds you have to be careful

                    A little wobbly when a lot of people walk over it. Otherwise you have a great view from the suspension bridge in both directions and also down.
