El Chorro ("The Cascade") is a small village located in Málaga (Andalusia) in southern Spain, near the town of Álora.

The path provided access to a hydro-electric system and took its name from an official visit by Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1921.

In addition to the re-furbished walkway, the old Málaga-Cordoba railway line runs through the gorge in a set of tunnels and bridges.

The gorge features prominently as a place of escape and refuge for the main characters played by Stephen Boyd and Brigitte Bardot in the 1958 movie The Night Heaven Fell.

The railway and sections of the Caminito were used in the final location shots of the 1965 adventure film Von Ryan's Express.
