Caminito del Rey

If you are in Southern Spain and want a break from the beach do the Caminito del Rey walk .
It's a boardwalk clinging to the cliff walls of a beautiful gorge .
Once it was considered one of the most dangerous hikes in the world but no more all been redone with safely in mind
It's not too arduous as long as you have no fear of heights .
I do but still did this challenge last week I had to go over the wire bridge with my eyes closed !

Oooh no Muddy, not for me, made me go light headed just looking at the film. I couldn't do it if you paid me.

There certainly are, but I'd prefer to let someone record them on camera so I can watch from a safe distance!

You certainly know you've been on a stroll afterwards...especially two days later

An amazing walk but I think I would have to be fastened to the rock face to be persuaded to attempt that!

Well done Muddy, a great achievement for you

Muddy was the rope/wire running along the cliff face for safety purposes?
