Caminito del Rey

Citorah says

The Caminito is a walkway of boardwalks through the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes Natural Park, less than 60 km from Málaga, its operator says. The boardwalks are about 100 metres above the ground, and near the end the route crosses a suspension bridge. Between the entrance and the exit, it’s 2,955 metres, and the whole visit, with the paths in and out, takes three to four hours, the operator’s 2026 rules say.

From 3 Days in Málaga: The Old Town, the Museums, the Beach and a Day Trip, Day by Day, under “Day 3: The Caminito del Rey, or Nerja”.
