El Camino del Rey (The King's Pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The walkway has gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is only one meter in width, and over a 700-meter fall, and over time it has also lost its 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 Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall.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.

Absolutely thrilling.
Did he just barrel along those lines of metalwork? Or were my eyes deceiving me?
ok, well that was my adventure for the day. YIKES! It's beautiful scenery, but I'm not so good with heights.
Me neither... l went arrrggghhh... kids come look... arrrgghhhh... omg he's BALANCING!... Arrrggghhhh... Whaaaa??? ....Arrrgghhh... X:-o!
Made me feel better though about MY current 'rocky path!' Lol!
Didya do FULL SCREEN... (I did)... AARRGGGHHHH!!!
I have a 20" screen and I was clinging to my chair. That guy was moving too fast.. and then to see even more people who had done the same thing. NOPE, not me. I'll watch from my desk, thank you very much!
I totally needed that little rush this morning! Every summer for awhile now Hansel and I go climbing--we don't want to push it this summer with my healing injury...it's been such a long time it feels since I've had that horrible-wonderful feeling like that video. Except, what would happen in our case is that we would come to those areas of the path where there is only a metal beam and get in a huge argument. I would not want to go any further being a big fan of living and Hansel would want to do it being full of testosterone. I always end up doing it...and being happy at the end. Nut I don't know about this one!
Thanks for sharing that---it was awesome!
Peace & Love.
"But" I don't know about this one...not "Nut".
Silly me.
CONNIE!!! You adventurous little chickie you!... aaarrggghhhhh!
