Guidekin's take

The climbing alternative to the walkway: a private via ferrata session in the Caminito del Rey gorge with a thirty metre zip line and two hanging bridges, gear included at €65 per group/vehicle.

Suits first-timers with a head for heights; this books the climb, not the boardwalk route.

Best for: The climbing alternative: via ferrata walls, two cable bridges and a 30 metre zip line with all gear included, at €65 per group/vehicle per group. 4.97 from 76 reviews. Caminito del Rey comparison

Trade-off: Not the boardwalk route itself.

In our comparison: #3 of 23 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
