El Chorro and Caminito del Rey: Popular Filming Locations

El Chorro and the Caminito del Rey are popular filming locations for movies, TV shows, and music videos thanks to their dramatic scenery and picturesque landscapes.

One notable production filmed in El Chorro is The Bridge, a Swedish-Danish crime series that aired from 2011 to 2018. Known for its gripping storylines and striking visuals, the series used El Chorro’s rugged terrain as the perfect backdrop for many intense scenes.

The Caminito del Rey has also featured in several productions over the years. A memorable example is the British sci-fi series Doctor Who, which filmed an episode in this stunning location. The area’s rocky cliffs and scenic vistas provided the setting for some of the episode’s most unforgettable moments.

El Chorro was also a location for the 2016 film adaptation of Assassin’s Creed, based on the popular video game franchise. In a thrilling scene, Michael Fassbender’s character performs a daring stunt, leaping from a high platform onto a moving train, all set against the dramatic El Chorro landscape.

Additionally, the Caminito del Rey appeared in the 2015 music video for The Beauty Inside by the Korean band Every Single Day. The video showcases the area’s rugged terrain and breathtaking views, highlighting the natural beauty of both El Chorro and the Caminito del Rey to an international audience.

Experience the Original Caminito del Rey – Before Restoration

Before its restoration, the Caminito del Rey was a very different place. Large sections of the old walkway had deteriorated, with missing railings, damaged concrete and exposed beams above the Gaitanes Gorge.

This famous video, filmed by climber and adventurer Daniel Ahnen, gives a remarkable view of the old Caminito before the restoration. It shows just how exposed some sections of the original walkway were and helps explain the extraordinary reputation the path gained before it was closed and eventually rebuilt.

If you suffer from vertigo, you may want to watch this one from a safe distance!
