"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

"Finca Viva La Vida is a little gem in the hills of Alora. The property is beautiful. The rooms are tastefully designed, excellent water pressure with very hot water (if you like) and a comfortable bed! The pool area is nice and relaxing and positioned to receive sun most of the day - a great place to relax after a hike. The breakfast courtyard might be my favorite - very serene, comfortable, beautifully decorated - a great place not only for breaktfast, but also to read a book, write, etc. The...

The region is just stunning and David and Wendy were extremely accommodating and made me feel right at home . I have never woken up to such a stunning view. The pool is perfect as well and a great way to cool off and get some exercise. Thank you so much for your hospitality, David and Wendy."

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel and room were spotless. It was also very walkable to the bus stop that got you to the airport in about 5 minutes. I was shocked at how easy this was and at 4 Euros, it was much cheaper than taking a cab. The rooftop pool and bar/restaurant was an amazing addition. I was able to relax in the sun with a glass of wine after a long bus ride. Also, the breakfast was better than any I have ever experienced! This was more like eating at a nice restaurant. They had cook to order menu and a fantastic selection of pastries, fresh and veggies, & drink options."
