Desfiladero del Tajo
Opened in 2024, this thrilling walkway stretches 250m (273yd) along one side of the rugged El Tajo gorge as the river thunders below. It begins at Plaza de María Auxiliadora and descends steeply along a cobbled path that clings to the cliff side, down to the base of the Puente Nuevo. As numbers are strictly limited, it’s best to book your slot in advance online. Wearing the hard hats provided is mandatory. At the time of writing, work was underway on a second phase of the project, which will cross the gorge to reach the Baños Arabes, promising even more dramatic views. Tip: This genuinely breathtaking walk is not suitable for people with mobility issues and is not available for children under 8 years old.
