When visiting this tourist point of interest, many people wonder how to get to Caminito del Rey from Malaga and what is the best way to get there.
Next, we will tell you the best options to get to Caminito del Rey.
One of the best options to visit El Caminito is, without a doubt, the train. This train runs through some towns of Malaga and stops at El Chorro Station, very close to the entrance of Caminito del Rey, which can be accessed by a shuttle bus from the same stop.
If you decide to use this transport, you must book your visit between 12:45 and 1:00 p.m., since the train only runs two times a day, one way to go and another to return.
It is important to book your tickets in advance if you choose to go by train to El Caminito del Rey, as this option is in high demand.
The combined price of the train + entrance + shuttle bus is € 23 and can be purchased at any local train station. In case you want to buy the train ticket separately, its price is around € 10 round trip.

This option is undoubtedly one of the most complicated since you can not get directly to Caminito del Rey by bus.
To get to the Caminito by bus, you must first take a line from Malaga to Alora, with an approximate duration of 1h, depending on the traffic. Then, you should take a line to El Caminito del Rey, which takes approximately 40 minutes.
It is also possible to book a scheduled tour to El Caminito del Rey, where the price of a direct bus from Málaga and surroundings is included. As a general rule, the price of these tours entails paying more for the visit.
The weekday frequency is quite broad, although at the weekend the frequency decreases. The main problem lies in the time loss and the need to change the line.
