Count of Guadalhorce Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Just a beautiful area. Lots of awesome hikes. Aside from the Caminito Del Rey, which certainly offers wonderful views, but is overcrowded, overly touristy (and overpriced in my opinion), there are incredible views & hiking trails.

Access path no. 2 to the official starting point of the Caminito del rey (dispensing of helmets). It is the short access route to the starting point (1.5km) through a tunnel.

House Overlooking the Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Due to its orientation, this house enjoys a privileged location with spectacular views of the reservoir. This house was built as an administrative building for the work of the entire hydraulic engineering complex of the reservoir area.

Because of the narrowness of the via ferrata, you are only allowed to go from the north entrance at El Kiosko to the south entrance in El Chorro, the opposite direction is closed.
