- A walk along the high level, decrepit, and dangerously exposed Camino del Rey, El Chorro, Spain with original music by us (but you have to wait for it !) The walkway is one meter (3 feet and 3 inches) in width, and rises over 100 meters (350 feet) above the river below. It is currently in a highly deteriorated state and there are numerous sections where part of or the entire concrete top has collapsed away. The result is large open air gaps that are bridged only by narrow steel beams or other support fixtures. Very few of the original handrails exist but a Via ferrata safety-wire runs the length of the path. Several people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years and after two fatal accidents the local government closed both entrances.
This is the most astonishing UA-cam video I have ever seen.
Congratulations on the walk and the video!
Very well done both of you. I do wish more holiday makers, and foreign residents would get away from the costas, and visit the beauty of inland Spain. It has so much to offer, and the people are so welcoming and helpful.
Amazing, I had my doubts first to walk this trail, but after seeing you guys.. My fear is gone!!
You are fantastic! Thank you for posting this amazing video adventure! Have never ever seen anything, that could be measured with this video! Great filming and great courage of both of you! Regards from Sweden.
You have my utmost admiration, I have known about this walk for some years but never made it down that far in Spain spending most in the Pyrennes but always wanted to do it but felt at 63 I wasnt fit enough. Now after seeing you struggle through I am not so sure. I wish I had made the effort but now I no longer visit Spain for 6 weeks every year like I used to do. Its still on my bucket list. Anyway thanks again for posting such a delightful video, good luck to you. both

@foxxvixx Heheh You were sooo brave tooo heheh. It looks so inviting to do that walk. I think you handled it better than I would have. I would have froze up and whimpered heheh. Thanks for sharing the video.
Wow ,quite a scary afternoon walk ...heheeh The woman was cute the way she handled it though. Thanks for sharing the average afternoon walk . hahah
Hello:
I was born in El Chorro, thanks for this great video, now want to restore the Caminito del Rey, know this fact? in the train metal bridge was filmed part of the movie "Von Ryan's Express" by Frank Sinatra, a greeting.

Great video! Well made and well edited. I don't know how you had the presence of mind to make a video while teetering a mile above a yawning abyss, but the results are great. And your star is cute. But how do you know that the little rope along the wall would support your weight if you fell?
amazing!
Bravo I am so proud of you two, I could never do this but am so fascinated with this place and its beauty! After discovering clips of this on here yours is my favorite one. I like how you showed the canyon below and all the beauty surrounding the path, the railway tunnels were so cool too and I think more exciting going that way and crossing the water, thanks for your bravery for all the world to see!
hello that is interesting - have you got any photos of this. or the way before the cable was installed
Anne and Jim
@StaticTremor cheers for that, it is a pretty amazing place :-)
@graciegardener thanks! you'd never guess that I am a climber! It was just sooooo exposed that it was still pretty awesome if if you are used to it
I was so scared for her when she had to go across the first rail that had nothing under it at all. I had to pause it for a few minutes.
Me and my girlfriend just watched this and we think you...the woman...are the coolest woman ever!!!!! I'm 37 and my guts for doing cool things like this went out the window long ago...but, seeing this just made me realise it's never too late. thank you!
Amazing video and place. I just don't understand how they made the road on wall's.I would't go there,my head already spining watching on youtube :))
did you do the entry on wiki? or take your description from there? adding in via ferrata
@ccatita29 Muchas Gracias !
Bien hecho ! con un poco de miedo , pero es normal ! :D
una pregunta , como se llama la cancion del final ??
me gustaria descargarmela
Gracias!
is there an alternate path getting to the valley and on the caminito avoiding the tunnels and the via ferrata? maybe to the right of the green train bridge direction makinidromo?
@andyd01 Thanks, it is deteriorating, but not for much longer, there are plans to turn it into a tourist attraction, so this would inevitably mean substantially reinforcing and changing the appearance of the walkway. but at least you wont be in danger of being arrested as you walk through the railway tunnel to or from it, (I imagine )
The last path I would dare step on....:-)
what I want to know, is how was it made in the first place?
how did they get the materials to stay in place?!
How did people build this in the first place! Holy Crap!
wow...
have they renovated this trail yet. Id like to give it a go before the fixed it up
hey im going next mounth in Malaga! is this place realy closed and u get a bif fine if u get caught?
nice video,,,I,m the man install the cable on the way.
and very well done!
I walked in from the top entrance which I recommend to those who are too frightened to approach from the pipe end. It starts easier and most like I can make it too and across the pipe. I was too fightened to continue beyond the pipe. I wish I knew a lady as adventurous as the lady here. Lucky Man. The walk through the tunnel is worth doing for the spectular views where the tunnel opens. Part of wild Spain with flowers and birds. Memorable.
06:14 ah ARE U F*****G KIDDING ME.?!!!!!!! :O
Well Done, awesome way you choose, please tell me why are you using an ATC???
And Congratulations for the trip..
I dream on day make this fabulous way
hugs..
It was illegal to be there at the time of this video because it was so dangerous. This was trespassing.
for a woman, you are very brave, congratulations.
Great place. It would appear the maintenance man died years ago?
Most of the other videos show macho men bigging themseves up for their courage. This lady shows with a bit of common sense it is an adventure and worth doing by anyone with average capabilities..
lol.............
Isn't Spain beautiful enough without having to watch your mates and family fall 2000k. I'd rather be boozing it up in Madrid.
They officially closed it with notices, presumably to cover themselves against accident claims.; However the tourist office will still give directions. You're not supposed to go through the rail tunnel, but a lot do. It's a pity the same attitude does not exist in the UK. Railway tracks are sometimes the best walks. Who but an idiot would not stand aside when a train is coming.(don't walk HST lines) I've not been prosecuted yet--told off yes-- but hey ho.
No. And not likely to because of economics and elfansafety. See my comments re alternatve way in.
wow...
