What to expect

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.

Peut-être prendre un peu plus de temps sur le parcours pour lire les affichages… mais contrainte des autres groupes devant et derrière aussi

Évoluez dans un très beau cadre, prise en compte de la sécurité, matériel très bien entretenue. Espace propre et agréable, de très beaux points de vues à partir du chemin des gorges. De très bonnes explications avec des commentaires très détaillés de notre guide et surtout en français très appréciable. Très belles randonnées ! Par rapport à la distance faite pas trop d'adrénaline même si certains passages sont impressionnants. Je ne recommanderai pas à des personnes qui ont le vertige

Horaire de la randonnée pas trop adapté, midi c'est dommage. Arrêt dans le village trop court pour une vraie visite. Et beaucoup de temps de trajet pour récupérer les participants des autres hôtels. Sinon site et guide au top.

Le seul bémol c'est que l'on a peine le temps de prendre des photos mais sinon c'est bien. On a eu un super guide. Je suis ravie car habituellement j'ai le vertige mais là à aucun moment j'ai eu cette sensation de vertige donc les passerelles sont top ??

Julien est vraiment un guide sympathique, intéressant, les endroits proposés pour se désaltérer ou faire les achats de sandwichs etc dont top. Un point d'amélioration pourrait être d'avoir un oeu plus de temps à Ardeles pour visiter, le village semble charmant.

Full day Tour of Cordoba during the Patio Festival

On this full day tour, you'll visit the UNESCO-listed old town of Cordoba in May, when it comes to life during the annual patio competition. You'll see the flower-festooned patios on a guided tour, discover the great mosque and enjoy free time to explore. Paco, one of our local guides, says, ‘Scratch beneath the surface in Cordoba, and you'll find the orient. Everywhere you look, the past stares back at you. And for a true flavour of modern Cordoba, make sure to try our trademark chilled salmorejo soup.'Once the biggest city in Europe, Cordoba offers up an exotic mix of Roman, Moorish, Christian and Jewish influences – all reflected in the old town. You'll set off on an extended walking tour of the San Basilio neighbourhood to see it all for your own eyes, while also taking in a couple of the patios decorated in flowers for the festival that takes place throughout May. They bring so much colour to the city and are eminently instagrammable. Afterwards, you'll be handed your ticket to enter the medieval mosque, or Mezquita – Cordoba's showpiece. Get the lowdown from your expert local guide on the history behind this UNESCO World Heritage Site. It boasts 800 two-tiered arches, honeycombed domes and many more treasures. Uniquely, it hosts a no-expense-spared decorated Renaissance cathedral in its core. There's also free time for lunch – why not head to La Juderia for a salmorejo? – and the chance to cross the famous Roman Bridge by foot.
