    Hiking

    The Caminito del Rey (the Path of the Kings) is the most popular excursion destination near Malaga. It is also one of the most famous sights in Spain. This refers to the hiking trail in the Desfiladeros de Los Gaitanes Natural Park, which winds through the gorge of the Guardalhorce River at an altitude of up to 400m.
    The 7.7km hike takes approximately 3 hours.
