Caminito del Rey tickets: prices and how to get them

The official general ticket costs €10 and the official guided visit €18 — but price is never the problem: dates sell out fast. Here are the real prices, how to buy on the official site, and the plan B for when nothing is left.

How far ahead do you need to buy?

The official site releases dates in batches: when writing this guide (August 2026) tickets were only on sale until early December, and the most popular dates (weekends, holidays, spring) sell out far earlier. Entry slots run every 10 minutes with limited places per slot. Practical translation: if your date is available, buy it now — tomorrow it may be gone.

Official purchase: caminitodelrey.info (official Diputación de Málaga website).

Sold out, last minute or on the day? The plan B that usually has spots

DAY TRIP FROM MÁLAGA → GUIDED VISIT (€32) →
