"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

"Good hotel in a good location "

"Lovely hotel and great location, we went all inclusive and the food was great quality and great variety. Beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. Really enjoyed our stay :)"

"Had a short but good stay. Everything went smooth, from the check-in, to lovely staff and check-out 🙏🌟"

"We loved our stay at the Riviera. Great food. Perfectly situated for the Beach and Prominade and having a Lift down to them was Excellent. A great Entertainment venue, but more choice of Cabaret Artists would have been appreciated. "

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!"
