"The King's Little Pathway" spans the El Chorro gorge at a height of 100m. It was built in the early 1900s as an access path between nearby hydroelectric plants. The bridge got it's name in 1921 when King Alfonso XIII crossed it to help inaugurate a new dam.

The path rises to the bridge from either side of the gorge, snaking dramatically along the sheer cliff face. In recent years the path has been closed to all but rock-climbers, as many portions of the pathway had crumbled away.

However, the Spanish government recently completed a three-year restoration of the pathway, including guardrails, and it just opened yesterday - March 28, 2015! The 6€ entrance fee will be waived for the first six months, but you'll need to make reservations in advance: http://bit.ly/1BzhH8Y. Also, bear in mind that the path is one-way, so check the return bus schedule, or book a return crossing as well!

Lonely Planet has ranked the new pathway as one of the hottest new travel experiences for 2015. And finally, here is a link to a cool video of the restoration process: http://bit.ly/1vCkulv

As a matter of fact, it’s such a relief to find a place that feels clean, charming, and peaceful. The decor of this place is really cute and it’s walking distance to the little town square. Especially to the best Italian restaurant named Sapore Italian where it has the best tiramisu. I am so grateful to find...

"I was a solo female traveler and loved this hotel. Importantly, I felt very safe. Romina was lovely with my check in, she gave me a map and highlighted some key areas to help me orientate. All staff were very friendly and the hotel was modern and clean. The shower was fabulous and the bed was very comfortable"
