Hiking Tours

Once known as the most dangerous walk in the world, el “Desfiladero de Los Gaitanes” is a canyon dug by the river Guadalhorce, in the municipality of Álora. Located in the center of the province of Málaga, it is one of the most astonishing landscapes in this area. Its steep walls and considerable height amaze the thousands of visitors that come every year.

If you make this walk in the summer season, you can enjoy a bath in one of the four lakes that River Guadalhorce leaves in its wake: the reservoirs of Conde de Guadalhorce, Gaitanejo, El Chorro, and Guadalteba. Closed to this one, there is a wonderful route that we propose to walk in the spring season, the Necropolis of “las Aguilillas”.

A channel construction to take water from the North reservoirs to El Chorro to benefit from the slope in a hydroelectric plant involved the building of a path, known as El Caminito del Rey, as it was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII. This 3-kilometers path, which sometimes reaches 10 meters width and 700 meters depth, was until a few years the only access by train to Málaga.

Hanging bridges and gangways guides you in between amazing gorges.
