This service seems to have been cancelled and is not available from any train stations in the malaga area.

UPDATE 26th August 2021

Many people are commenting that the Train to the Caminito del Rey is not available at Malaga train stations. Others, however are saying they purchased the tickets at the train station without an issue. RENFE insist that the tickets are available as normal.

Another option for visiting the Caminito del Rey are the guided trips available from the Malaga area on the Get your Guide website.

All the information regarding the steps to follow when buying the tickets can be read on the poster located next to the machines.

Important! You can only buy tickets on the same day you are going. the ticket machine is open from 6am to 09:15 every day except Monday (when the Caminito del Rey is closed)

120,000 tickets available for the Caminito del Rey.

Tickets are now available for the period October 2018 to March 2019 but move fast as you can be sure that they will get booked up pretty quickly. Last year over 300,000 people visited and it is expected that next year will be the same.

If you can’t get the tickets for the dates you want then consider a guided tour or just turning up at the gate but don’t forget that many people get turned away using that option….

I still maintain that to really enjoy the walk and the area then stay in one of the local hotels such as the Magdalena, Garganta or Posada del Conde (Thats what I always do!)…

Caminito del Rey Websites (where do you book a ticket?)

I am getting a lot of emails from confused people that they can’t “find” where to reserve their tickets on the “official” website for the Caminito del Rey. This also confused me at first untill I looked up the .com and .es websites and who owns them.

First, lets make things really clear. THERE IS ONLY ONE WEBSITE (THE OFFICIAL ONE) WHERE YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR TICKETS) and that is www.caminitodelrey.info

caminitodelrey.com is privately owned and has nothing to do with the official website. Same for .es so if you accidentally go to the .com or the .es and get confused it’s not your fault. They are deliberately misleading.

This (my) website www.caminodelrey.es is also privately owned by me and yes, I earn money when you click an ad or reserve a hotel via this site but it is designed to help people having difficulty with the official website with in depth instructions and up to date information about the area. There is a big difference between this website and the other two unoficial ones.

The caminitodelrey.es website is simply taking advantage of peoples unawareness and is designed that you contact them so that they can “arrange” the visit and your hotel/restaurant for you. It is annoying as especially a lot of the info on the site is copied and pasted from the official website and is outdated to the point of being useless. An example is that the site still says you can access the caminito by both entrances and this is simply not the case.

I will repeat… THERE IS ONLY ONE WEBSITE (THE OFFICIAL ONE) WHERE YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR TICKETS) and that is www.caminitodelrey.info

For anyone interested, you can find out info, like who owns and runs a domain by using a whois search… I use this one http://whois.domaintools.com/
