is will even freak out people who aren't afraid of heights!!
You won't believe this!
El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga , Spain . The walkway has gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is only one meter in width, and over a 700-meter fall, and over time it has also lost its handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall.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 th eir 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, ad venturous tourists still find their way into the walkway.The view and the music are almost like being in a video game...very cool!Oh yes... once you get to the website and click the 'Play' button - you must go full screen!!
YOU MUST GO FULL SCREEN!!

Tue, May 6, 2008 - 7:10 AMThat is freakin awesome!! I didn't read the whole description before watching it.. and I kept thinking.. Why are they letting ANYBODY even go up there?! Then I read that they DID close it down!!
I'm surprise they do not fix it, that would pull a TON of tourists in, the view is amazing!!!
