Guidekin's take

A no-frills guided Caminito del Rey trip from Malaga at €67 per person: pickup, the full length of walkways and gorge with an official guide, and the drive back.

Rated 4.57, a shade below the other Caminito runs we list, mostly on organisational quibbles rather than the experience itself.

In our comparison: #22 of 23 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
