Details of the Day Trip

We'll gather at the designated meeting point in the city of Malaga at the specified time. From there, we will head towards one of the province's stunning gorges. Are you prepared to explore the breathtaking scenery of the Caminito del Rey?

Our route will take us across the Alcaparaín mountain range, offering views of vast orange orchards and charming Andalusian whitewashed villages.

The footbridge, which hangs nearly 105 m (344 ft) above the Gaitanes Gorge, will grant us spectacular panoramic views of the Sierra de Málaga. Don’t miss the chance to capture some memorable photographs! We will also stop at key viewpoints for more photo opportunities and to share intriguing information about the area.

Once we've savored the experience at Caminito del Rey, we will bid farewell to this enchanting site and begin our return to the original meeting point, wrapping up a day trip that lasts approximately 7 to 8 hours.
