Visitor Guide for Desfiladero de los Gaitanes. Caminito del Rey (El Chorro)

Books of Tourist Interest

The purpose of this guide is simply to provide a helpful guide to anyone who feels daunted by Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, regardless of the nature of their interest in it, whether that be sportive or touristic, the geological formations, understanding the behaviour of the rivers, the ecological value of the site, its archaeological sites, its association with the industrial origins of Malaga, the role of its historical figures, etc. excluding any descriptions, written or by images, of elements the visitor cannot see while walking the normal trail.

The contents of this guide have been produced using didactic language to make it easy to read before or after the visit, or even to be used as a consultative guide during the visit itself, as they have been broken down into subjects. The subjects cover both general and specific aspects and remain true to the reality supported by scientific data. We have moved away from the unfunded legends which, as is the case with any historical site, have become part of the repetitive formulae used by a few amateur guides who have risked their lives entering the area in the past.
