KING`S PATH
The Caminito del Rey trail is spectacular from beginning to end, winding through gorges, canyons, and a vast valley. It passes through the landscapes of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park, a gorge carved by the Guadalhorce River, with walls reaching a depth of 700 meters. This area is also home to a large number of plant and animal species: with a bit of luck, you might spot mountain birds such as the Egyptian vulture, the griffon vulture, or the golden eagle, as well as wild boar and ibex.

COMARES
This small municipality stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Periana corridor to the north and part of the mountains of the Axarquia, and to the south a vast area that includes the valley of Velez and the Sierra de Tejeda. The main wealth of Comares lies in the production of olive oil and wine and the harvesting of almonds, making it an obligatory stop on the oil, wine and sultana route. Of Moorish origin its location demonstrates the character of a watchtower that it must have had and its physiognomy conserves the features of the villages that form around a fortress.
