"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

"We spent a week at Diana and David's farmhouse with our 2 children, aged 3 and 6. The location is 15 minutes up a rural dirt track (car essential) to a beautifully converted farm house with patio, donkeys, alpacas and cats and dogs galore! The private swimming pool is perfect with views over surrounding farmlands and mountainous countryside - idyllic. The only noise was the occasional barking dog or goat bell. Well equipped, fans (no air con), delightful owners who shared many homegrown...

Palacio Solecio, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

5/5 Excellent

Highly recommend

"Beautiful hotel in a great location in the centre of Malaga. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was well appointed and the beds were comfortable with high quality linen. We knew the swimming pool was small with limited loungers but it was lovely to cool down and sit at one of the many tables with a drink."

Excellent hotel!

"¡Nos encantó nuestra estancia aquí! Era la primera vez que nos alojábamos en un hotel H10. Todo fue de primera calidad. El servicio de recepción fue excelente, especialmente el de Laura. ¡Es una futura jefa! Y el bufé del desayuno estaba muy bueno todas las mañanas. ¡Gigi, del restaurante, fue genial! A partir de ahora nos alojaremos en hoteles H1O. ¡Gracias, H10 Croma Málaga!"
