"The World's Most Dangerous Walkway"

Weekend

Available for over a year

A footpath over a gorge in southern Spain, known as the world's most dangerous walkway, will be opened to the public at the end of March for the first time in 14 years. It's called the Caminito del Rey which means the King's Little Pathway. It's 3 km long, over 100 metres high and never more than a metre wide. It was closed in 2001 after five people fell to their deaths. Now the path has been reinforced and safety measures put in place. Adventure blogger, Matthew Karsten, who has completed the Caminito with the help of ropes and harnesses told us what it was like. (Photo: Matthew Karsten crossing the Caminito del Rey.
