Nice hike to do and easy trip back with shuttle bus. Claudia was ern fine guide who clearly told us how the gorge was formed and why the trail is there. Make sure that when entering the route in Google maps you choose a parking lot. We blindly followed the route given to us and ended up on top of a mountain.

In particular we liked everything but what takes the prize is the feeling of crossing the suspension bridge, what I did not like is that you can not cancel the reservation, we almost did not go because of health problems and did not want to return the money, but well alfinal we got better and went, but if it had not been so we would have lost the money.

The tour started 25 minutes late. We were supposed to be there 3/4 of an hour earlier, which meant that we basically just stood around for 1.25 hours. As we found out later, this happens more often on this tour. The specific meeting point was not at all clear. The square in front of El Kioske is large and there were a lot of people there. Other tour operators had their own stand. This one did not. The contact person also had nothing on his clothes to indicate that he was responsible for organizing the tour. The group was far too big. As a result, it moved very slowly. The guide was not always audible due to the size of the group. He also spoke miserable English. Even that was not always easy to understand. We will not be booking with headout again.

We had to call ourselves where to report. Not 3 quarters of an hour in advance as stated in the instructions but only a few minutes before the starting time. That then went well. Then had to wait a long time until the group was complete. Transport back wrong nsteuctie received. We were on the bus to Seville instead of the shuttle bus. Got there okay in the end but sloppy and delayed.

Fantastic experience, well organised. Would highly recommend it. Take the offer with the tour guide as they give a lot of information on the walk. Be there early as you still have a 20 minute walk to the start of the tour and if you park at the information centre a 15 minute bus trip.

Top things to do in Malaga

Feeling like your Granada itinerary is stuck on repeat, a monotonous loop of Alhambra selfies and tapas crawls? It's time to dangle your toes over the edge of excitement (metaphorically, of course, there are railings). We're talking about a day trip from Granada to the legendary Caminito del Rey, also known as the King's Little Path. Instead of strolling through courtyards, you'll be spanning a newly built walkway clinging to the cliffs of a dramatic gorge. For the brave of heart, here’s how to take a day trip from Granada to Caminito del Rey.

Best things to do in Granada

The Alhambra and Generalife

Alhambra is a massive palace and fortress complex that was built by the Moorish rulers of Granada. It's one of the most popular tourist attractions in Spain, and for good reason. The Alhambra is full of intricate details, beautiful courtyards, and stunning views of the city. The Generalife is a palace and gardens located near the Alhambra. It was used by the Moorish rulers as a summer retreat, and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the gardens. Be sure to book your tickets for the Alhambra in advance, as they sell out quickly!

Albayzín

Old Moorish quarter of Granada. It's a maze of narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and hidden squares. There are also some great views of the Alhambra from here. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as there's a lot of walking involved in exploring the Albayzín.

Sacromonte

A quaint neighborhood in Granada that's famous for its cave dwellings. These caves were originally inhabited by gypsies, and many of them are now homes, flamenco bars, and restaurants.

Best time to take a day trip from Granada to Caminito del Rey

Spring (March to May)

  • Pros: Pleasant weather, comfortable for walking the path.
  • Cons: Can be crowded, especially during Easter Week (Semana Santa) which falls in April. Be sure to book your tickets well in advance if you're planning your trip during this time.

Autumn (September to November)

  • Pros: Less crowded than spring and summer. Comfortable temperatures. Beautiful fall foliage adds to the scenic views.
  • Cons: Shorter daylight hours compared to spring and summer. There's a slight chance of rain, so be sure to pack accordingly.

Detailed breakdown of seasonal timings

How to get around Granada

Bus

Granada's main public transport network consists of a comprehensive bus system operated by Rober company. Tickets (€1.20 one-way) can be bought directly from the driver, but for frequent travelers, a rechargeable magnetic card called "Credibús" is a cheaper option (purchase and top-up on board). Validate your Credibús upon entering the bus. Here are some useful bus lines:

  • Line 4: Connects the city center to the train station.
  • Line C30: Takes you directly from the center to Alhambra.
  • Line C31: Runs between the center and the Albaicín neighborhood.

Trams

Granada has a single tram line that runs north to south, connecting some suburbs with the city center. However, it doesn't reach most tourist destinations, so it's unlikely to be useful for most visitors.

Granada City Train (Hop-on Hop-off)

This is a tourist-oriented option with two routes: Alhambra and City Route. Tickets (€8 for 1 day, €12 for 2 days) allow you to hop on and off at various stops. While convenient, it's not the most budget-friendly choice.

Taxis

Taxis are readily available in Granada and can be a good option for late-night journeys or traveling with heavy luggage. However, for most daytime travel within the city, buses are a more economical choice.

Tips to making the most of your day trip from Granada to Caminito del Rey

  • El Chorro: The Caminito del Rey hike is only available for day trips, and you can't camp nearby because it's a protected area. If you're coming from Granada and want to stay longer, check out nearby towns like Ardales or El Chorro for accommodations. If you have time after your Caminito del Rey hike, consider exploring the nearby town of El Chorro. There are several restaurants and cafes where you can grab a bite to eat and relax before your return trip to Granada.
  • Dress for comfort and the weather: The Caminito del Rey is located in a mountainous area, so the weather can change quickly. It's best to dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes with good grip. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also essential.
  • First aid: Pack a simple first aid kit with bandages, antiseptic wipes, and any essential medicines you might need, like pain relievers. Also, have a list of emergency contacts and important info in your backpack. Make sure your phone is fully charged, and consider carrying a portable charger for emergency calls or to use GPS.
  • Public transport: For getting to Caminito del Rey, you have several options: The best way involves a train and bus journey from Granada to Madrid, then switching to local connections, totaling about 6 hours and 22 minutes for €81 to €114. The cheapest route is a bus via Madrid taking about 8 hours and 28 minutes, costing between €65 and €89. The fastest method is to drive, taking around 5 hours and 35 minutes with fuel costs between €90 to €140.

Frequently asked questions about day trips from Granada

Is a day trip to Caminito del Rey from Granada feasible?

Absolutely! The distance is doable (around 133 km), but skip the romantic bus journeys - they can eat up half your day. Here's the trick: Rent a car the night before. Stash your luggage at the hotel (many offer this service) and hit the road early to avoid peak traffic. This gives you freedom and lets you explore hidden gems on the way back, like the white villages of Mijas.

I'm not that confident behind the wheel in a foreign country. What are my alternatives?

Consider a ride-sharing app. You can often split the cost with fellow travelers, and it offers more flexibility than a bus tour. Just be sure to factor in potential wait times and book your Caminito del Rey tickets in advance - these sell out fast!

Packing for a day trip with hiking and sightseeing - what are the essentials?

Ditch the bulky backpack. Opt for a hydration pack that keeps your water handy and doubles as a lightweight carrier for essentials. Sun protection is key - a wide-brimmed hat and high-SPF sunscreen are non-negotiable. Pack layers - mountain weather can be unpredictable. Comfortable shoes with good grip are crucial for the Caminito del Rey, and don't forget a change of socks to avoid sweaty feet on the ride back.

This "king's little path" sounds intimidating. Am I going to be clinging to a rock face for dear life?

The Caminito del Rey has come a long way since its daredevil days. The walkways are safe and well-maintained. While there are some sections with dramatic drops, there are sturdy railings to keep you secure. If you have a fear of heights, though, this might not be the best activity for you.
