THE CAMINITO DEL REY OPENS ITS DOORS UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF THE SANDO-SALZILLO-MUNDO TEMPORARY JOINT VENTURE

El Caminito del Rey opens its doors tomorrow Friday under the management of SANDO-Salzillo-Mundo Temporary Joint Venture

 

The Caminito del Rey opens its doors tomorrow, Friday 17 December, under the new management of the Sando-Salzillo-Mundo Management Temporary Joint Venture, under the agreement formalised on 7 December, by which it will also manage the Visitor Reception Centre and the car park, which will be operational in the next few weeks. 

Sando was in charge of the rehabilitation works of the Caminito del Rey costing 2.2 million euros. This project was carried out in record time, ten months. It was exemplary in terms of safety measures, despite the difficulty and danger of vertical work at great heights that had to be carried out. An innovative technique was also used to reconstruct the critical points of the route. El Caminito del Rey opened to the public on 28 March 2015. For one year, Sando was responsible for managing the entrance, access control, and visitor escort services. 

In fact, Sando’s experience in these projects has become a reference model for complex vertical works carried out on Roads and paths that run along cliffs, slopes or ravines. 

 

Awards

 

The rehabilitation of the Caminito del Rey has received great recognition, winning numerous awards, including one of the distinctions of the 3rd National ‘Ciudad y Territorio Albert Serratosa’ (‘City and Territory Albert Serratosa’), founded by the College of Civil Engineers and the Caminos Foundation. It also received three Europa Nostra Awards, the highest award in heritage, and honours at the 13th Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial, the 10th Ibero-American Architecture Biennial, and the Architecture Prize at the Archmarathon in Milan. El Caminito del Rey is currently a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage Site nomination. 

In this new era, the Sando-Salzillo-Mundo joint venture is looking forward to revitalising the area around El Caminito del Rey and adding value to each of its resources.
