"The King's Little Pathway" spans the El Chorro gorge at a height of 100m. It was built in the early 1900s as an access path between nearby hydroelectric plants. The bridge got it's name in 1921 when King Alfonso XIII crossed it to help inaugurate a new dam.

The path rises to the bridge from either side of the gorge, snaking dramatically along the sheer cliff face. In recent years the path has been closed to all but rock-climbers, as many portions of the pathway had crumbled away.

However, the Spanish government recently completed a three-year restoration of the pathway, including guardrails, and it just opened yesterday - March 28, 2015! The 6€ entrance fee will be waived for the first six months, but you'll need to make reservations in advance: http://bit.ly/1BzhH8Y. Also, bear in mind that the path is one-way, so check the return bus schedule, or book a return crossing as well!

Lonely Planet has ranked the new pathway as one of the hottest new travel experiences for 2015. And finally, here is a link to a cool video of the restoration process: http://bit.ly/1vCkulv

"Finca Viva La Vida is a little gem in the hills of Alora. The property is beautiful.

The pool area is nice and relaxing and positioned to receive sun most of the day - a great place to relax after a hike. The breakfast courtyard might be my favorite - very serene, comfortable, beautifully decorated - a great place not only for breaktfast, but also to read a book, write, etc. The...

"Leonardo, our personable host, made us feel at home. Our visit was marred by my having contracted gastroenteritis at another hotel; Leonardo drove me to a clinic and helped me communicate with the doctor. Located next to a fruit orchard, the picturesque building is as peaceful as one could wish. Highly Recommend! "

"Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. Great food options within the hotel as well. The breakfast was superb! Easy transit options to get downtown as well"

5/5 Excellent

Fantastic stay.

"We had a great stay at Barceló Malaga! We arrived 3 hours early and the staff were very accommodating and let us check in early - which was much appreciated after a very early flight. The hotel amenities are very good and it was very clean. The hotel is directly linked to the train station, which is perfect for travel. There is also a shopping centre next to the train station with a supermarket and a food court - and lots of restaurants close by. The main centre of Malaga is approximately a 20 minute walk along a very easy route. We had a lovely 3 night stay and would definitely recommend the hotel. The highlight was definitely the rooftop pool - a great place to relax after exploring. We would definitely recommend "
