    The Caminito del Rey was built between 1901 and 1905 to save walking distances for the maintenance work at the hydroelectric power station El Chorro.

      The duration of the entire route (the section from the gate from one walkway to the other, plus the paths or forest tracks to get to/leave the area) is between 3 and 4 hours.

        The Caminito del Rey - the small royal road - is an 8 km long hiking trail along the cliffs of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes - hollow path of the bearded vultures - a gorge whose walls rise up to 400 m and which at its narrowest point is only 10 m. Despite the high rush, an absolute highlight in Andalusia.
