Guidekin's take

The Caminito del Rey for people staying on the eastern Costa del Sol: pickups in Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar, then the full walkway with admission, helmet and guide for €69 per person.

Budget a long day, around eight hours with the coast-to-gorge driving.

In our comparison: #16 of 23 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
