I was a bit nervous at first, but the guide made me feel safe right away. Walking over the Los Gaitanes gorge and looking down at the Guadalhorce River was unreal. The boardwalks are solid, and the views are a must-see. I also loved how much the guide shared about the history of the path. We saw parts of the original old trail and heard stories about King Alfonso XIII. So worth the visit!
I went with three friends and we did the shared group tour. Everyone got along, and the guide was really funny. He told us interesting stories at each stop. We learned so much, especially about the workers who built the path! Our favorite part was the Bridge of Sighs and the fossil beach. Having someone lead the way made it way easier than going on our own. The guide also helped us pace the walk so it wasn’t tiring at all.

King’s resting spots along the path
When the path was first built, it wasn’t meant for tourists or hikers. It was created for workers who maintained the dams along the Guadalhorce River. Legend says King Alfonso XIII had stone benches carved into the rocks. This was to help the workers rest along the route. These spots became known as the “King’s seats” or Sillón del Rey, where the king himself once paused during his visit.
Today, walking this path means following the footsteps of both workers and royalty. It’s a rare chance to pause where a king once did, suspended over a deep gorge.
