    The Caminito del Rey (roughly "narrow royal path"), also known as the Camino del Rey ("royal path"), was a three-kilometer-long via ferrata until 2015 and is now a comfortable and secured hiking trail near Álora in the province of Málaga in southern Spain. It leads along steep walls at a height of around 100 meters through two narrow gorges up to 200 meters deep. It was dilapidated and closed for a long time and was described in the media as the most dangerous path in the world. In 2015 it was reopened to the public. The area is known among climbers as El Chorro as an excellent winter climbing area.
