Caminito del Rey

The path is a seven-kilometre, almost aerial, vertiginous passage created by man in the walls of the Chorro and Gaitanejo gorges, north of Málaga. It was built in 1905 because the workers at a hydroelectric power station needed a way through, and it was as archaic as its use, done by rote - until a king had to cross it to inaugurate the dam, and so it got its name. Over the years, it was abandoned, collapsing or partially slipping at some points and became a danger, even being closed after the death of four tourists between 1999 and 2000.

Its total length is 7.7 kilometres, of which three kilometres are on footbridges and five on trails. It takes three to four hours to walk the entire length and is considered to be of medium difficulty, with the caveat that due to its characteristics it still involves some danger and should be done by people with the ability to do so. Not least because, even before you start, there's a good walk to get there, and it's uphill. For example, children under the age of eight are not allowed.

Seville

Seville is one of the most historic cities in the world. It was here that many of the greatest Spanish navigators (and other Portuguese navigators, but at the service of the Spanish royalty), such as Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, left to discover the New World.

Plaza de España, whose crescent shape is travelled by beautiful carriages. Most of the buildings were constructed for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. To the south of the Plaza de España is the verdant María Luisa Park, a vast green space full of criss-crossing paths, birds swimming in the lakes and palaces hidden behind the foliage of the trees. We can also take a stroll along the bank of the Guadalquivir river to see the watchtower over the river - the Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), built by the Moors and later used as a prison and warehouse for the treasures brought back from the Americas.

Antequera

Antequera is a city of great cultural and economic wealth. Its historical complex is made up of more than fifty monuments and buildings dating back to the Bronze Age, such as the Cueva de Menga dolmen, the Dólmen de Viera and the Romeral dolmen. Crowned by the castle and the basilica of Santa Maria, throughout its old town there are collegiate churches, convents, palaces, arches, gates, hermitages, stately homes and a citadel. Among the highlights are the Nájera Palace (18th century), which is now the Municipal Museum; the Catalinas Convent and the Marques de la Peña Palace, in Mudejar and Renaissance style. 

El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park

El Torcal de Antequera is a nature reserve in the Sierra del Torcal located to the south of the town of Antequera, in the province of Málaga. It is known for its unusual landforms and is one of the most impressive karst landscapes in the whole of Europe. It has several beautiful hiking trails, which we will of course follow.

Ronda

In the heart of Andalusia there is a pearl hidden in a sea of limestone landscapes. It's called Ronda. Almost hanging from a rocky promontory, the city is separated into two parts by the "Cannon of El Tajo", a limestone gorge where the river Guadalevín flows through, the old part and the new part. In the old part, it's worth wandering around a few streets, where you'll find the Mondragón Palace, the Palace of the Marquis of Salvatierra, the home of the Moorish King (Casa del Rey Moro or the parish church. In the modern part, the Parador Nacional de Ronda viewpoint stands out, as does the Alameda del Tajo park, both with breathtaking views.
