Located in Malaga, Spain, well worth the trip. It was named because of King Alfonso XIII crossed the walkway in 1921 for the inauguration of the dam. This pathway was known as the most dangerous due to the deterioation of time. It has been renovated and is much safer to hike.

My daughter spent three months in Granada as part of her ‘immersion’ period whilst studying for her university Spanish degree. She was accommodated in the Albaicin. She enjoyed it all immensely. It was between 104F and 110F for the first three days that she was staying there. Phew!!!
