"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

"It was nice , facity to Park the car and the breakfast IS very good with a nice view "

"After my girlfriend could not come on the vacation due to appendicitis, I decided to travel to Alora solo. The region is just stunning and David and Wendy were extremely accommodating and made me feel right at home . I have never woken up to such a stunning view. The pool is perfect as well and a great way to cool off and get some exercise. Thank you so much for your hospitality, David and Wendy."

"The place was such a beautiful house with lots of character and charm. It was immaculately clean. The owner was really friendly and was hospitable. Would definitely go again"

"Finca Viva La Vida is a little gem in the hills of Alora. The property is beautiful. The rooms are tastefully designed, excellent water pressure with very hot water (if you like) and a comfortable bed! 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! "

El Cielo Azul

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely couple run this B&B from Belgium, Gave great local advice on where to eat and visit, cooked great food including breakfast. Beautiful historic house by the station but didn't notice the trains which run quietly. "

Hotel Restaurante El Corte

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Hotel El Corte on our way to Sevilla, and it was perfect! The location is super convenient, right off the highway exit, which made it very easy to find. The hotel was clean, the staff were welcoming and friendly, and there was plenty of parking available. We also appreciated having a restaurant on-site, which made things even easier after a long drive. The rooms are a bit smaller compared to typical American hotels, but they were very well equipped and well maintained, so we had no complaints at all. Overall, a great experience, and we will definitely stay here again when we return to Málaga!"

Villa Vereda del Palmar, BBQ, Wifi, private heat pool; for free October

10/10 Excellent

"We have just spent one week as a family of 7 at this amazing villa.It exceeded all of our expectations. The owners were nothing short of incredible. We didn’t have a hire car so they called taxis for us wherever and whenever we wanted to go somewhere which was so helpful. We ate out twice at evening time, one area to the left and another area to the right of the villa and loved both areas . I would recommend trying pub Bolin and the meat restaurant 2 doors down was beautiful. The house was spotless, the pool was beautiful, the grounds were out of this world. Figs, olives and lemons from the trees and can’t forget all the eggs from the chickens ! My little boy loved collecting them each day. Lots of pool floaties and lots of family games to play. The rooms were all of a great size and all had TVs. Lots of pots and pans and lovely bbq area. Sunrise at 7.30am on the top of the terrace were outstanding . Really didn’t want to leave and would love to return next year. Thank you Marcicarmen "
