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.

Getting to El Chorro reservoirs and Camino del Rey

El Chorro

The Caminito del Rey is in the province of Málaga, Andalucía, in the spectacular area around El Chorro and the Guadalhorce reservoirs. Getting to the area is relatively straightforward by car or train, but there is one important point to understand before you plan your journey: El Chorro is the finishing point of the Caminito del Rey, not the start.

The current Caminito del Rey route runs from the northern entrance near the Guadalhorce reservoirs towards El Chorro. If you arrive by train at El Chorro station, or park on the El Chorro side, you will therefore need to take the shuttle bus to the northern end before starting the walk.

This guide explains how to get to the Caminito del Rey by car, train and bus, where to park, and how the shuttle bus connects the two ends of the route.
