Caminito del Rey Day Trip from Seville

<p>Enjoy with DayTrip4U one of the most demanded excursions of recent years. The excursion to <strong>Caminito del Rey</strong> from Seville. This path was built by <strong>the Chorro Hydroelectric Society</strong>, owner of the Salto del Gaitanejo and Salto del Chorro, who wanted to have access between both “<strong>waterfalls</strong>” to facilitate both the passage of maintenance operators and the transport of materials and monitoring them.</p>

<p>To travel to Caminito del Rey, in our private transport, is to immerse yourself in an exciting <strong>adventure that involves time travel.</strong></p>

<p>El Caminito del Rey is a tour of <strong>the Gaitanes Gorge</strong>, on its cliffsides. With a length of 3 kilometers that has long stretches and a width of just 1 meter. It begins in the town of Ardales, crosses the one of Antequera (province of Malaga), and concludes in <strong>El Chorro (Álora)</strong>. The path of the hike is vertiginous as it hangs from the vertical walls of the gorge and at an average distance of 100 meters above the river.</p>

<p>It’s name dates back to 1921 when <strong>King Alfonso XIII</strong> crossed this road after the inauguration of the dam of the Count of Guadalhorce. It was then that it began to be called <strong>El Caminito del Rey.</strong> The passage of time and its disuse caused it to deteriorate greatly and become the most dangerous path in Europe, claiming numerous victims.</p>

<p>In 2014, rehabilitation works began <strong>for the regular transit of visitors</strong>. A year later, a <strong>7-kilometer path</strong> was opened to the public without any risk to pedestrians.</p>

<p>The route runs between the Guadalhorce-Guadalteba reservoir and the town of El Chorro. A parallel walk to the railroad tracks where you can walk and enjoy <strong>the famous gorges of the Gaitanes and the Gaitanejo.</strong></p>

<p>After a brief welcome talk at the gateway to the trail, we will begin our walking route crossing the 7 kilometers restored path. Where we can enjoy the <strong>breathtaking views</strong> and interpret all aspects of this natural environment in the company of our guide.</p>

<p>Once the Caminito del Rey is finished, our transport will pick you up to transfer you to a restaurant in the area for lunch and <strong>taste the typical cuisine of the Sierra de Málaga</strong> or enjoy free time to enjoy your own meal or picnic if you so please.</p>

<p>After the break and taking in the last views offered by this magnificent natural landscape, the walls of the gorge, a path that began in this natural environment and that can end in your imagination, we will head back to Seville. There we will arrive approximately at 19:00h with the lasting memory of an extraordinary day.</p>
