"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

Parador de Antequera

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay for one night. Wish we’d had longer. "

Hotel Restaurante El Corte

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Hotel El Corte on our way to Sevilla, and it was perfect! The location is super convenient, right off the highway exit, which made it very easy to find. The hotel was clean, the staff were welcoming and friendly, and there was plenty of parking available. We also appreciated having a restaurant on-site, which made things even easier after a long drive. The rooms are a bit smaller compared to typical American hotels, but they were very well equipped and well maintained, so we had no complaints at all. Overall, a great experience, and we will definitely stay here again when we return to Málaga!"
