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.

View of the Suspension Bridge on the Caminito del Rey

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point, you have a beautiful view of the Caminito del Rey suspension bridge, which spans the Rio Guadalhorce gorge. The road is quiet with little traffic, and the spot is easily accessible.

If you then choose the route across the dam bridge, you can also drive on the other side of the Embalse Tajo de la Encantada reservoir. This route takes you via El Chorro even closer to the mouth of the gorge. There are two options: either along the water's edge or up the path almost to the Caminito del Rey exit. For the latter, it's advisable to wait until the Caminito del Rey closes due to the crowds, as the path is a steep, gravel climb. The view, however, is even more magnificent.

Caminito del Rey

Highlight • Gorge

The Caminito del Rey is an impressive walk of about eight kilometers along a cliff in which the old walkways have been rehabilitated to facilitate access. It is not possible to do it by bike, but from the road you can appreciate the magnitude of the cliffs and their imposing infrastructure.

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.

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!
