This is the Caminito Del Rey (in English it’s the Kings Path). It’s a walkway pinned along steep walls of a narrow gorge 330 feet high. It was originally constructed in 1901. After many years it became very dangerous and in disrepair. It was known as the worlds most dangerous path when five people died on it in 1999 to 2000. It was then closed, reconstructed, and reopened in 2015. Now people (who are not afraid of heights) love to walk it and take in the extraordinary beauty along the way. The first picture shows the bridge that crosses from one side of the gorge to the other. The bridge sways as you cross it and you can see through the panels to the river below. The second pictures shows how high the path is with one walker on the upper, left side of the gorge. This path has been nominated as a World Heritage Site so it can be preserved and enjoyed by many generations to come.
