Caminito del Rey, often referred to as the "King's Little Pathway," is a walkway pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Ardales in the province of Málaga, Spain. Originally built in the early 20th century for workers to transport materials between two hydroelectric power plants, it has since become a popular tourist attraction known for its stunning views and thrilling heights. The pathway spans about 3 kilometers, with portions that hang over 100 meters above the river below.
