You step through the gate and the gorge takes over: a corridor of limestone walls, sun-struck vertical slabs, and a narrow wooden walkway clinging to rock a hundred metres above the churning Guadalhorce below. The group moves in single file, an official guide tracing the history of the route while the wind threads the canyon like a low, steady voice. For two hours the modern world falls away—cars and beaches become distant hums—and the Caminito del Rey insists you pay attention to geology, gravity and the small exhilaration of moving along a cliff face.
