Spectacular experience!!
Incredibly cool experience! Quite demanding hiking so good fitness is preferable. It was a lot of people but well laid out so it was never crowded. Plenty of time to shoot and film the experience.

Caminito del Rey bus tour
Gorgeous views and amazing walk but way too many people on one tour. Highly recommend a smaller group with 8-10 max. We had 23! Our guide couldn’t keep control. Radios didn’t work and batteries died on mine. The back and forth to English and French was annoying. I would do a single language only. Excellent area to tour but we would do it alone or with a much for private tour next time
