El Chorro Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The fame of El Chorro and its Caminito del Rey does not stop growing and, as you will be seeing if you are cycling in the area, it is normal: the gorge is a spectacle, the walls are overwhelming and tempt you to visit them hanging through their catwalks. If you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to visit the Caminito. Although I recommend that you book your ticket with some anticipation.

Hermitage of Our Lady of Villaverde

Highlight • Religious Site

Next to the current hermitage, which was renovated in the 1960s, prehistoric tombs from the Mozarabic period were discovered, carved into the rock. Near the hermitage, on a promontory, the remains of a watchtower known as the Peñón del Moro were discovered, evidence of the great importance of the enclave at that time.

Conde de Guadalhorce Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

A picturesque site where taking a photo is definitely a must. Its turquoise waters make the landscape magical. Built in the years 1914 - 1921, it is one of the set of reservoirs of the middle course of the Guadalhorce river.

Access tunnel to the Caminito del Rey

Highlight • Structure

Access path no. 2 to the official starting point of the Caminito del rey (dispensing of helmets). It is the short access route to the starting point (1.5km) through a tunnel.

Conde de Guadalhorce Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Almost picturesque, how the pavilion on the steep slope fits into the landscape of the Embalse del Conde de Guadalhorce reservoir. Maybe a bit cheesy, but the proportions of the picture are almost perfect. Be sure to stop and take a picture!
