Fænomenal tur og guide (Benjamin)
My girlfriend and I had a really great trip to Caminito del Rey from Torremolinos. From the very beginning, our guide was incredibly welcoming and smiling. We were picked up almost exactly on time, and when he looked at our names, he noticed that one of us had a very Danish surname. It turned out that he was Danish himself! We would never have guessed it, because you could not hear it at all when he spoke, neither when he spoke Danish, English nor Spanish.After around 50 minutes of driving, we stopped in Ardales. It is a lovely little town with cafés where you can buy sandwiches, drinks and snacks. I can especially recommend something similar to a Danish pastry with Nutella from Café Casa de Ingrid. It tasted insanely good and cost around 23 DKK.When we arrived at Caminito del Rey, there was a little waiting time as there were several groups. It was a hot day (32 to 35 degrees), and our guide was very attentive to the group. He really emphasized how important it was to drink enough water and recommended at least 1 to 1.5 liters per person. Along the way, he regularly made sure that everyone was drinking, and we took several short breaks just to have some water.The guiding was done in both English and Spanish. Even though there was only one Spanish family with us, he made an effort to distribute the information equally between the two languages. He told us interesting things along the way without filling the tour with too much information, and at the same time he had a really great sense of humor and energy.I personally have a fear of heights, but I was actually positively surprised by how manageable the tour was. The bridge you typically see in pictures was not particularly bad to cross. However, you should not think that the tour ends there. Afterwards, there is another bridge that feels 3 to 4 times as long. Even with a fear of heights, I still found it completely manageable.The total distance was around 6 to 7 km. I have attached a picture from Strava, but by then we had already walked around 800 to 1,000 meters from the bus to the actual starting point.At the end, there are various stalls where you can buy lemonade, beer, soft drinks and food. After a hot and active trip, it was very much needed.On the way home, the guide was quieter. He told us a few things, but otherwise let people relax. It was actually perfect, because we were all pretty tired after the trip.A huge compliment to our guide, who really helped make the trip such a great experience. He was attentive to the group, made sure everyone was drinking enough, was great at explaining things and had a really pleasant way of being a guide. Truly a world class guide. I am convinced that I will never experience a better guide. Thank you for the trip, Benjamin.One last thing: I remember is that someone pointed out that you were speaking a little loudly and should tone it down a bit. I really hope you did not take that to heart, because I honestly do not think that was the case at all. You did a perfect job the entire trip.All in all, a fantastic day that we can easily recommend, also to the average tourist and to people who may have a little fear of heights. Go for it! :)
