"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

"Very central in the middle of party and local bars. Very crowded and very loud at night. Even if there are double windows. The apartment itself was okay, but not that special. Very poor equipment in the kitchen and not very clean. No automatic check-in. And no easy parking in the street as you need to drive through all the people in the streets. Not recommended for normal drivers. Parking is expensive, at 26 € a night."

"Everything was amazing. Very clean and organised. Staff very polite and professional. We were just disappointed that we were asked to pay an extra €15 for early check-in before 3 PM. Also, we couldn’t leave our bags after check-out until our flight at 9 PM unless we paid another €15 each to use the lockers outside in the streets. That was quite frustrating. In my opinion is better to take hotel, you can do early check in for free and to leave you baggages for free. ( in case you arriving...
