    Tips

    May 13, 2024

    The beginning of the Gaitan Gorge with the Mirador de Cristal is the most admired section of the Caminito del Rey, a 600 m long hike over narrow footbridges at a height of 100 m along the gorge walls, with vertical rock formations. At the famous Mirador de Cristal you walk over a transparent glass pane and can look into the depths.

      The Caminito del Rey had a reputation as the most dangerous hiking trail in Europe. After its restoration, it is now one of the top attractions in Andalusia.

        Try and go in the off season, better for photos and general trail busyness when there are less ppl around
