"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 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."

"great service"

A verified traveler stayed at AC Hotel Málaga Palacio by Marriott

Posted 3 days ago

5/5 Excellent

"Totally incredible experience and highly recommend this hotel - super friendly staff and helped us with every single question, received a welcome cava, a bottle of red wine (part of Expedia status) and every time we needed any staff member, they made themselves available. I also want to give a special thanks to Beatriz who made our breakfast utterly incredible by even learning some words in our native language and welcoming us each morning. Couldn’t have asked for more. The room was perfect size and special with 2 balconies which we spent time on, comfort was next level and even the extra sofa bed was super comfortable. It was an incredible stay and we would 100% return in the future. All the best to the hotel and its workers and hope you have other guests who appreciate it as much as we did. "

"Excellent property, well situated at the south end of the Distrito Centro. After the terrific breakfast on site, then hang out at the rooftop pool looking out over the beautiful view, with a bar there to keep you hydrated :) If you do leave, quite convenient easy walk to anything you'd want including the beach and many, many, places to eat and drink. Professional staff are attentive, helpful, and keep the place spotless. Well worth choosing this hotel for your Malaga stay. "
