Caminito del Rey Tickets & Prices
What Caminito del Rey tickets cost in 2026 — guided tours from Málaga, on-site guided tours, and the official entry ticket — plus how the timed entry works and how to avoid sell-outs.
Buying for the Caminito del Rey trips people up because there are really two different things on sale: the official timed-entry ticket, and guided tours that bundle entry with a guide and transport. Here’s how they compare and what to pay in 2026.
The three options
| Option | From | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Guided tour from Málaga | ~$77 | Round-trip coach from Málaga + entry ticket + official guide |
| On-site guided tour | ~$35 | Entry ticket + guide (you reach El Chorro yourself) |
| Entry ticket only | ~$17 | Just the timed entry — self-guided, your own transport |
About the official ticket
The Caminito del Rey is run by the Diputación de Málaga (the provincial government), which sells a bare timed-entry ticket on its official site, caminitodelrey.info. It’s the cheapest way in, but it includes no guide and no transport, and the limited daily slots sell out weeks ahead — especially weekends and spring/autumn. This is an independent booking site, not the official one; we list guided tours and tickets via GetYourGuide so you can compare and book in one place.
Which should you buy?
- No car / based in Málaga? The guided tour from Málaga is the easiest — everything is handled, and you learn the history as you walk. Best value once you factor in transport.
- Have a car but want a guide? The on-site guided tour saves money and still gives you the commentary.
- Independent and confident? The entry-ticket-only option is cheapest — just book your time slot early and sort your own transport.
Avoiding sell-outs
Slots are capped by design (the path is one-way and timed). Book as far ahead as you can for weekends, Easter, and the spring/autumn shoulder seasons. If your dates are tight, a guided tour often holds an allocation of entry slots, so it can be available when the official ticket page shows “sold out.” All options on this site offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, so locking in early is low-risk.
