El Caminito del Rey is a walkway built into the walls of the Gaitanes Gorge, between the municipalities of Ardales, Álora y Antequera, in the province of Malaga, comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, Spain. It is a footbridge more than three kilometres long (plus 4.8 kilometres of access), attached to the rock inside a canyon, with sections barely one metre wide, hanging up to 105 metres above the river, on walls that become vertical.

The passage of time deteriorated it greatly: almost the entire route lacked a handrail and there were collapsed segments, with only the support beam remaining. All these factors contributed to creating a black legend after several hikers lost their lives trying to cross it.2 In 2014, work began to rehabilitate it. A new footbridge was built, with wooden panels along its length. The rehabilitation work was completed in the first quarter of 2015 and it was reopened at the end of March of the same year, arousing great expectation among the public.
