Around The World In Pictures


El Caminito Del Rey Trekking (Spain)

 El Caminito Del Rey Trekking (Spain)
No walk in the park: The final stages of the path have fallen through so walkers must abseil down around 100 metres in order to complete the trail
Adrenaline junkies have been flocking to southern Spain to 


experience the 110-year-old El Caminito Del Rey. And you 


don't need to be an experienced climber either; the only 


requirements are that walkers should be at least twelve years 


old and have a good head for heights. The trail, also known 


as the King's Pathway, was originally built in 1905 for 


workers to travel between two hydroelectric power plants 


but was closed-off in 2000 after two walkers fell to their 


deaths. (Link)
