King’s Trail in the Gaitanes Gorge
- Sabine Drey
The Caminito del Rey, or King’s Trail, winds its way over a length of seven kilometres through the spectacular Gaitanes Gorge in the southern Spanish province of Malaga. Its course runs directly along that of the waterway, over bridges and walkways, through forested areas and along precipices up to 100 metres above the River Guadalhorce. In the process, the newly created route meanders about the almost 100-year-old previous walkway, skirting the former aqueduct and winding its way above the ruinous remains of the old trail, with which it is joined in part.
