This is the most dangerous trail in the world! We were walking across it? [photos]

El Caminito del Rey, that is the path…
the king is in Spain near the town of Malaga.

In 1901 the workers of the projects of hydro-electricity in the region have identified the need of a path of communication between the two sides of the river that is surrounded by very steep cliffs. Thus was created the path for the purpose of easy communication, the transfer of supplies and the inspection and maintenance of the project.

When the year 1921, the king of Spain Alfonso the 13th he crossed the path to inaugurate the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, the road has acquired a huge reputation and is called the “path of the king”.
The μονοπάρι with a width of only one meter is literally on the edge of the cliff, 240 meters higher than the river that crosses the gorge. Even though it’s been abandoned for many years and parts of it have collapsed not a few of those adventurous people, mainly climbers who attempt to cross the road risking their lives. The passion for adventure and the unique experience ογηγεί in something that is not only illegal but also extremely risky.
