It is difficult to say whether these caves in the rock formation were created by man or naturally. You would have to climb to get in, but they are definitely an eye-catcher. Great landscape.

The rock houses on the banks of the Guadalhorce have a special historical and cultural significance. Built into the rock walls, they blend harmoniously into the natural environment. Such structures were once used as shelters, storage rooms or even as simple homes. They reflect the traditional construction method that made the best use of the natural conditions.

From the viewpoint of the Gaitanejo dam you can see the cave houses of the Sierra Parda, which served as homes for the hydroelectric power station staff. Source and further information https://www.spain.info/de/wanderrouten/caminito-del-rey-wandern-spanien/

Even the short hike from the car park to the entrance of the Caminito del Rey has its charm.

What a fantastic way to start the walk

Before reaching the northern entrance to the Caminito del Rey, you pass through a short tunnel, the Tunel de los Tafonis'. Taphonis are cavities in the sandstone rock created by erosion.
