You gotta be CERTIFILABLY CRAZY to walk that. The concrete looks like it will crumble at any minute...the metal has more rust on it then my old 57 ford station wagon...

It wasn't that bad. I used my helmet cam and took it slow over crumbly parts.

C'mon! Everyone's doing it! :giggling:


from wikipedia:
El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near ?lora in M?laga, Spain. The name is often shortened to El Camino del Rey.


[edit] History
In 1901 it was obvious that the workers of the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide transport of materials, vigilance and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway lasted four years. It was finished in 1905.

In 1921 the king Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name.


In some places the walkway has collapsedThe walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 ft) in width, and is over 700 feet (200 m) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.

The regional government of Andalusia budgeted in 2006 for a restoration plan[1] estimated at ? 7 million.
