• 5ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE!

  THIS IS A MUST! Those who are taking a holiday in Spain, you must do this. Well worth it and well worth travelling a distance for too. Not for the faint hearted, it really does push any fear you have of heights to a whole new level but an experience never to forget! Really safe, fun, imformative and a great day out, although you will be tired at the end of it. There is a lot of walking. Our guide was fantastic and full of information. She answered all the questions we had for her. The group size was good too. A very well organised business. A great atmosphere throughout, everyone was friendly and helpful. You need to plan this for a day. It really is a full day experience but well worth the cost we paid as this is something that you can't compare to anything else. A once in a lifetime expereince!

• 5Do not miss it!

  This was an amazing experience! Definitely not for the faint of heart or those afraid heights. The views were stunning and our guide Maria (del mar) was informative, funny, and kind. The Caminito Del Rey is not to be missed- we even saw mountain goats roaming in their natural habitat! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

About Malaga

Málaga is a sunny Andalusian port on the Costa del Sol, the birthplace of Picasso, with a Moorish fortress, city beaches and a thriving museum scene.

The Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress-palace, climbs the hill above the old town, with Gibralfaro Castle higher still and views over the port and bay. At its foot lie the Roman Theatre and the cathedral, nicknamed La Manquita, the one-armed lady, because its second tower was never finished.

Top-ranked sights in Malaga: Malaga Alcazaba, Malaga Cathedral (Cathedral de la Encarnación), Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitucion).
