View of the Suspension Bridge on the Caminito del Rey
Highlight • Viewpoint
If you then choose the route across the dam bridge, you can also drive on the other side of the Embalse Tajo de la Encantada reservoir. This route takes you via El Chorro even closer to the mouth of the gorge. There are two options: either along the water's edge or up the path almost to the Caminito del Rey exit. For the latter, it's advisable to wait until the Caminito del Rey closes due to the crowds, as the path is a steep, gravel climb. The view, however, is even more magnificent.
