El Molino Alto de Álora Caminito del Rey

The four-star rural hotel on Calle Molino Alto in Bermejo village occupies a restored Andalusian mill house on the edge of the Guadalhorce valley, roughly 3km from the northern entrance to the Caminito del Rey gorge path — the obvious base for hikers planning an early start before midday crowds.

An outdoor pool faces the limestone ridgeline, and free on-site parking makes the property practical for drivers arriving from Málaga city (around 50 minutes south via the A-357). Family rooms are available, and the non-smoking throughout policy suits longer stays.

Bermejo sits inside the Ardales natural park corridor, well away from Costa del Sol resort noise — a considered choice for walkers and nature travellers who want proximity to the gorge without staying in Ardales town itself.
