"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

"Fantastic well priced boutique ! "

"After my girlfriend could not come on the vacation due to appendicitis, I decided to travel to Alora solo. 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."

"Clean, friendly staff and very convenient location. Only inconvenience was that pool was closed due to private event and we could not use it. My son was disappointed . I would suggest that private parties should be organized after the regular pool hours. Other than that, excellent hotel."
