We came here for a leisurely stroll and noticed people enjoying a swim. It looked fantastic! I suggest extending your stay and taking a dip as well. However, I wouldn't recommend eating at the kiosk. It's not a good idea!

If you're in search of a slice of paradise, head over to Caminito del Rey Beach. The reservoir offers an incredibly warm swimming experience. Some of us brought our swimming costumes while others opted for inflatables to float on. Just a short distance away, you can rent rafts. However, a swim is a must. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the restaurant, where we got 2 soft drinks and a ham baguette for only €6.50. It was a great deal. Additionally, you can purchase drinks and ice cream as well. There are plenty of free parking spaces available.
