Transport
Our English speaking guide, Christobel, was passionate about his subject, humorous and highly knowledgeable. He asked questions which caused us to engage with him and share his ever fresh wonderment. A spectacular adventure, and the relaxed atmosphere of the tour, I think, would be enough to allay the fear of anyone uncomfortable with heights. One very minor point: the toilets on site could be better maintained.
The Gaitanes Gorge is the must-see natural attraction in inland Malaga. This deep and steep canyon has a legendary walkway halfway up one of its vertical walls – the Caminito del Rey – which you'll get to trek on this full day tour.
After a scenic drive through the country, we'll stop off at a typical village for some free time to wander around its narrow, whitewashed-fringed streets. Then, don your walking boots as we set off on an 8km walk along the recently reopened Caminito del Rey, or King's Walkway.
Departing from the pine-fringed reservoirs, you'll trek along a spectacular walkway pinned along the steep gorge walls. Your guide will give you an insight into its geological origins and fascinating historical past. Finally, at the end of the journey, you'll have a well-earned break in El Chorro for the chance to grab a spot of lunch.
