One of the most dangerous trails in the world - El Camino del Rey
My friend Victor from Nevada just sent me this great video of the “El Camino del Rey” trail.
El Caminito del Rey "The King's little pathway" is the name of a very dangerous walkway that winds its way along the steep walls of a narrow gorge known as El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. In the year 1921, Alfonso XIII opened three water reservoirs which are flanked by pine forests. "El Camino del Rey" was built in a side of a mountain, the path has 3Km and some places have 1m in width; and is 400m above the river. However official access to this path was forbidden in 2000 after four tourists died trying to cross it. Watch this video, if you're scared of heights, this video will make your head spin, it shows the real path with all dangers, after some minutes you are watching it, seems you are there, in first person. Check this out!
Absolutely fascinating, I think i must do it !!!!!!!

Well it's actually not a trail but a obviously "well" maintained walkway along some cliffs.
Seems to be as scary as the stock market. :-)

Amazing. Scary, too. Can't believe he walked across the chasms like "no big deal." I was frozen watching those moments.
Great music--who is it??
