This one-day outing delivers a compact, high-drama introduction to one of Spain’s most vertiginous walks: the Caminito del Rey. Beginning with an early transfer from Sevilla in a small group, the tour places you on a restored catwalk clinging to the rock face above the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, where a mountain guide interprets the geology, history and vivid local wildlife as you traverse the trail more than 100 meters over the river.
