Caminito Del Rey is an aerial trail built alongside the walls of the Gaitanes gorge. This path is 3 kilometres long and has a trail that starts from Adales. The trail continues all the up to Antequers and ends at El Chorro, locally known as Alora. This is a path with vertical gorge walls located 100 metres above the river. The path was originally built to create easy access to the hydroelectric station located in its premises. In the early 1900s, the dam was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII.
Ever since then, the locals have been calling this place as Caminito del Rey- a name that is still relevant today. History suggests that people have been living near its premises since the neolithic times and it provides an exciting place to simply walk around or even go for a trek.
