The newly reformed Caminito del Rey has been one of the most anticipated events in recent years and is considered the hottest thing to do in Malaga.&nbsp; The Caminito was initially built in the early 20th Century and was used to transport material and people between two power stations that were built on either side of the El Chorro gorge. Officially opened by King Alfonso XIII, who walked its whole length and gave it its name, since that time, the Camino has become one of the wonders of Spain. &nbsp; El Chorro Gorge is a fantastic place, with vast rock walls as high as 400m along its three-kilometer length. Meaning 'spurt,' it is precisely what the water used to do when traveling through the gorge&#39;s narrow ravine. The height difference between the two manufactured reservoirs at either end of the gorge provided a unique opportunity to develop hydroelectric energy. It was an almost revolutionary concept at the time. Over its history, the real attraction has always been the concrete catwalk, El Caminito del Rey, which threads the gorge&#39;s length hanging precipitously halfway up its side, a natural thing for adrenaline junkies.
