What to expect
Round-trip transport, timed entry ticket and a certified guide along the 7 km boardwalk clinging to the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes. One of Europe's most spectacular short hikes.
The 'King's Little Path' pinned to a 100 m gorge wall. Departures run from Andalusia, and the whole experience takes about 8 h — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Andalusia itinerary.
