Caminito del Rey - El Chorro, Málaga, España - Pedestrian Suspension Bridges on Waymarking.com

El Caminito del Rey es un paso construido en las paredes del desfiladero de los Gaitanes, entre los términos municipales de Ardales, Álora y Antequera, en la provincia de Málaga, comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, España. Se trata de una pasarela peatonal de más de tres kilómetros (además de 4,8 kilómetros de accesos), adosada a la roca en el interior de un cañón, con tramos de una anchura de apenas un metro, colgando hasta 105 metros de altura sobre el río, en unas paredes que llegan a ser verticales.


En 1999 y 2000, se produjeron sendos accidentes mortales que costaron la vida a cuatro excursionistas e indujeron a la Junta de Andalucía, en el año 2001, a cerrar los accesos al camino, demoliendo su sección inicial. Esta medida no consiguió detener a los excursionistas, que seguían encontrando la manera de acceder a él escalando. También decretaron una multa de 6000 € por transitar tanto por el camino cortado,? como por las vías y los túneles del tren por las que se puede volver del Caminito.


The Caminito del Rey is a step built into the walls of the Gaitanes gorge, between the municipalities of Ardales, Álora and Antequera, in the province of Málaga, autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It is a pedestrian walkway of more than three kilometers (in addition to 4.8 kilometers of access), attached to the rock inside a canyon, with sections barely one meter wide, hanging up to 105 meters above sea level. the river, in walls that become vertical.

In 1999 and 2000, there were two fatal accidents that cost the lives of four hikers and led the Junta de Andalucía, in 2001, to close the accesses to the path, demolishing its initial section. This measure failed to stop hikers, who kept finding a way to access it by climbing. They also decreed a fine of €6,000 for traveling both on the closed road, as well as on the train tracks and tunnels through which you can return from the Caminito.
