El Chorro
El Chorro ("The Spurt") is a small village located in Málaga in southern Spain, near to the town of Álora. It is one of the major rock climbing centers in Spain due to being located next to Desfiladero de los Gaitanes ("Gorge of the Gaitanes"), but is also very popular for mountain biking, hiking, and camping. The gorge is famous for the very dangerous path called Caminito del Rey (King's little pathway).
