This limestone gorge in the south of Spain, through which passes the Guadalhorce river, sits the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes pass that is 700m (2296 feet) high. Famous its very dangerous path, the Caminito del Rey is not what I would call a tourrist attraction. In 2000, the paths was remove because a tourrist died trying to cross it. Just watching that video gave me vertigo. You wouldn't catch me going there...ever! Some people are fearless such as this camera man.

also, the cameraman's shadow looks like it's floating. although i doubt that he really is.
That is one gutsy S.O.B.
Especially stepping over the holes in the rotting concrete!
the serene beauty is so majestic - it just has to be experienced by those healthy and athletic enough to do so
Glad he taped it so we don't have to check ourselves.
Try walking the Kalalau trail on Kauai's Na Pali Coast. In the rain. With a 60 lb pack.
No cable to hold onto. No concrete to walk on.
I keed.
Does anyone know what the music was on video?, I really like it.
I vacationed in Benalmadena a few years back, you seriously could not pay me to come back.
I wonder if the local government is following up on its plan to renovate the path; it'd be interesting to see a video of their progress...
Dude should have stopped more to look around. The best parts were when he was looking down at his feet to cross those narrow bits.
He definitely only used the cables intermittently.
But what amazes me is thinking about those who built it.
The question is - should they maintain the trail? Obviously it is used.
I almost wet myself right at the end when he jumps down off the little wall that is overlooking a zillion foot drop.
No way. Ever. Even for money.

So, does anyone?
Guy has not camera but a stick in its left hand (it could be seen at '1:20).
But anyway, it's amazing!
