The latest news from Paradores

Isn't it a good reason to visit it?

There was once a time when the boardwalk was one of the most dangerous routes in the world. This trail, located in the province of Malaga, was inaugurated in 1921 by King Alfonso XII, though it had been used for many years prior to this by the Hydroelectric Power station El Chorro workers between 1901 and 1905, as they undertook maintenance work on the Gaitanejo and Chorro gorges. Let's take a journey to Malaga to follow the footsteps of the Kings on the Caminito del Rey boardwalk.
