Caminito del Rey, Highly Recommended
Caminito del Rey, Highly Recommended
I highly recommend this route. There are several climbs along the way, and wearing a helmet is mandatory. It’s a paid route, but I didn’t mind the cost at all, maintenance is clearly essential here, and the safety staff deserves to be compensated. Keep in mind that this hike runs through a canyon area. The walk takes several hours because of the climbing involved. Some sections require going up and down stairs repeatedly. Although the route is only about 5 km as the crow flies (hemelsbreed). The views are phenomenal: water, trains passing through the valley, deep gorges, sharp mountain edges, and impressive bridges. Cameras are allowed! Make sure to bring plenty of water on a hot day, and don’t forget sunscreen.
Safety Takes Priority On This Route
Safety Takes Priority On This Route
Safety is the top priority on this trail. Unfortunately, it cannot be walked alone. it must be done with a guide or as part of a group. At certain points, the group is gathered together so the guide can explain an upcoming climb or highlight areas where to be cautious. When the instructions given by the safety staff are followed, the route is completely safe, and there’s no need to worry about falling from the edges.
Enjoying The Caminito Del Rey
Enjoying The Caminito Del Rey
Rivers flowing below, a train rushing past, and towering peaks high above, it was breathtaking. I couldn’t stop looking around, took countless photos, and truly enjoyed every moment of the walk. Do keep in mind that a certain level of physical fitness is required. If not fully fit, a shorter section of the route is available. Check the official Caminito del Rey website for details on that option.
Touring The Tourist Towns Around Marbella Before Reaching Caminito Del Rey
Touring The Tourist Towns Around Marbella Before Reaching Caminito Del Rey
Getting there isn’t very easy, which is why I chose to join a tour. The only downside is that the tour makes several stops at different pickup points throughout this part of Spain. Because of that, I ended up seeing Málaga and a few other tourist towns in the area twice, once on the way to Caminito del Rey and again on the return trip to Marbella. I hiked the Caminito del Rey while I was participating in the 4 Days of Marbella in 2019 and staying at a hotel near Marbella.
