Caminito del Rey

Permanent exhibition devoted to the Caminito del Rey, an elevated walkway over the gorge cliffs that the River Guadalhorce has shaped, in Ardales.

The route follows a suspended walkway, built into the cliff walls and set above the vertical gorges that the River Guadalhorce has carved over time. From the path, visitors can see the clear waters of the gorge, the tunnels cut into the rock and the landscape surrounding the canyon.

During the visit, a guide explains how the path was built and its historical link with King Alfonso XIII. The history of the area and the features of the surrounding canyons are also detailed, as well as the role that adventurers and climbers played in the development of the work.

It is a proposal designed for those who want to learn about the historical origins of this path and walk at height through a natural setting with a great drop in elevation. As a permanent collection exhibition, the space can be visited on an ongoing basis.
