The new Caminito del Rey suspension bridge (opened on the 10th of June 2026), certainly adds a dramatic finale to one of Spain’s most famous walking routes. Located towards the end of the Caminito del Rey, this new structure transforms the final stretch into an even more unforgettable experience.
However, for those with vertigo or anyone who would rather avoid the crossing, the original path remains open as an alternative route. More info if you are concerned about heights here.
If you’re planning a visit, this guide explains exactly what the new bridge is like, where to find it, and how it changes the route.
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!
