After walking the Caminito del Rey, you’ll probably be ready for a good meal. Fortunately, there are several places to eat around El Chorro, the Guadalhorce reservoirs and the surrounding villages, serving everything from traditional Andalusian food to hearty meat dishes and lighter options.
Over the years, I’ve eaten my way around the restaurants and bars near the trail. These are my personal picks, based on places I’ve actually tried and enjoyed, each for different reasons. Whether you’re looking for somewhere to eat before your walk, a good lunch afterwards or a restaurant with a view, here’s where I’d start.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
