"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

"Pros: Me encanta cuando los alojamientos son de gente real, de su famila, que invierten su tiempo y dinero en ello y se ve la dedicación! No es fácil de encontrar alojamientos así, donde dueño, Manuel es una persona real, la casa es una casa de su familia con su historia, el lugar es auténtico y además todo está muy bien cuidado, pensado y explicado. Hemos estado muy cómodos, hicimos caso a todas las sugerencias de Manuel :) Cons: nos ha encantado todo!"

"We stayed in this this lovely, bright apartment for one week in March. We had everything we needed, and the hamper of goodies left by Helen & Steve was much appreciated as we arrived on a Sunday when all the shops were closed. For a one bed apartment it is very spacious, with plenty of storage space. There is a file full of information on places to visit and local cafes/ bars etc. which are all within easy walking distance and a large, well stocked supermarket just a couple of minutes drive...
