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.

Shuttle buses for the Caminito del Rey

Bus to get back to Caminito del Rey Start point

Planning your journey to the Caminito del Rey? Our guide to getting to El Chorro and the Caminito del Rey explains how to reach the area by car, train or public bus, where to park, and how to plan your arrival. The shuttle bus is different: it is not a bus service to the Caminito del Rey from Málaga or other cities, but the local service that connects the northern and southern ends of the route. This guide focuses specifically on how that shuttle works.

If you park near the northern start of the Caminito del Rey, you will need the shuttle bus after your walk to get back to your car. The Caminito is a one-way route, finishing in the El Chorro area, where the shuttle bus connects with the northern access points.

The shuttle bus costs €2.50 per person. You can buy the bus ticket online when booking your Caminito del Rey entry, or pay the driver when you board. Cash is accepted, but card payments are not, so it is a good idea to carry €2.50 in change.

You can also do things the other way around: park in the El Chorro area and take the shuttle bus to the northern start before your walk. The advantage is that your car is waiting for you at the end of the Caminito.
