How to Get to the Caminito del Rey

The usual entrance is in Ardales, at the north end, and the exit in El Chorro, at the south. The shuttle links both ends, from the train or back to your car.

By train from Málaga

Look for the regional service to El Chorro on Renfe. At the station, take the shuttle towards Ardales and add the walk along the path to the checkpoint. Work out your return from the south exit before you buy the train ticket.

By car

Choose where to park before you set off. If you park by El Chorro, take the shuttle at the start of the day. If you park near Ardales, plan to use it when you finish. The Visitor Reception Centre has its own stop.

From the bus to the checkpoint

From the area around El Kiosco there are two paths to the north entrance. The shorter one goes through the pedestrian tunnel and is about 1.5 km. Leave time to walk before the time on your ticket.

Frequently asked questions
