El Caminito del Rey (The King’s pathway, often shortened to El Camino del Rey) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Alora in Spain.

The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall.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.

Cripes. I have a fear of heights and parts of this video really freak me out.

    Ron Larson, I think you are referring to either Star Wars: Dark Forces or Jedi Knight. There were a couple of each and I don’t recall which one but it was excellent for its day.

    Amazing vid! I bet the base jumpers love that place. You couldn’t drag me up there with a team of mules.

    Unreal Tournament? Myst? Duke Nukem? No. This is Half-Life!

    #19 I guess that’s why I’m afraid of the new Gillette razors.
