New Caminito del Rey Suspension Bridge: What to Expect From Spain’s Most Thrilling Walk

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.

No tickets for the Caminito left online? No problem (hopefully)

So, you’ve checked the official Caminito del Rey booking website and the date you want is sold out. Don’t give up just yet. There are several things you can try if you need a ticket at short notice, including checking for availability at the official northern access ticket office and looking at guided tours and entry tickets offered by established booking platforms.

The important thing is that last-minute entry is possible, but never guaranteed. The official Caminito del Rey website currently states that tickets can be purchased at the northern access ticket office subject to availability, while third-party platforms may have their own guided tours or ticketed experiences available for dates that are no longer showing as available through the official online system.

Can you still get last-minute Caminito del Rey tickets? Yes, sometimes you can. Even when the official website shows your preferred date as sold out, guided tours and tickets from trusted booking partners may still be available. It’s always worth checking before giving up on your visit, especially if you’re travelling within the next few days!

GetYourGuide Caminito del Rey Tickets

If the official Caminito del Rey booking system shows your preferred date as sold out, it is worth checking GetYourGuide before giving up. The current GetYourGuide entry-ticket product offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the visit for a full refund, which is a significant difference from ordinary tickets bought through the official booking system.

Official Caminito tickets are normally non-refundable once purchased. However, if the Caminito itself closes because of severe weather, landslides or another safety-related reason, the official booking conditions allow visitors to change their date or request a refund.

The GetYourGuide entry ticket is for the same Caminito del Rey route and is valid for the selected day. Check the current availability, price and cancellation conditions before booking, as these can change.
