Worth the hype? The true experience of walking this legendary path: el Caminito del Rey, Spain.

[@markl2322]

I've always been awed by the sheer magnitude of the engineering that went into the original construction of that entire complex. Just the idea that someone would envision a sidewalk along the sides of a gorge hundreds of feet up the sides... And to think of the men who built those pathways and stairs gives me butterflies in my stomach.

[@mstrdiver]

@@alicja4139- They really worked on the safety of this path. I saw much earlier recordings of the path [below] and it had major gaps in the path and areas where you really had to hold onto chains and old structure to get through. It was more of an urban exploration path with few on it with no trespassing signs discouraging access and only thrill seekers on hiking attempts.

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Hi Steve. Wow. You brought back so many memories of a visit my wife and I made to El Chorru in 2000 and our failed attempt to walk the El Caminito Del Rey. We followed other along a trail from El Churro which took us ALONG the railway track featured at the end of your video. We popped out of the tunnel and walked over the railway bridge. The Camanito was on our left. Our hearts sank 😮 My wife said NO BLOODY CHANCE. It looked a death trap as we watched others begin the tortured walk. That year 3 people died. As you said, No chance. Your video showed me what we had gladly missed. Thank you. Now I need to get into my loft for my holiday pictures.👍😎

I did it with friends and a spanish guide about forty years ago.. There were gaps in the path we had to jump over but we had had some wine first..some of the girls went back but our guide had all the ingredients for a paella so we carried on.. Was a bit nerve wracking but we didnt lose anyone.. After the paella we returned by a road over the top.. I know it was closed later as it was dangerous so I'm glad we did it then..... Happy memories !!!

Wow! Braver than me!

Absolutely beautiful. It was interesting seeing the old trail in relation to the new one and I poured myself a cup of nope for that old one lol.

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Hi Steve. Thankyou both for showing us this canyon. Personally I commend you both on being brave enough to tackle this. I was in awe of it's beauty. I cannot imagine the engineering to build the infrastructure, let alone the skill of the workers, not only building the original path, but the new, safer one. I think the wind was caused by the turbulence of the water falling so fast. I mentioned this video to my husband, it turns out in 1972, as a teenager, he did the walk with his parents and brothers ! So he is now gonna watch it too, as I doubt either of us will ever get there to do it in person !😂

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks Heather! Wow thanks for sharing that :) yeah, I can only imagine the guys who actually BUILT the thing!

The upgrade looks great: it’s gone from a survival trail to a scenic route. Great commentary from both. You should watch the old path being walked, if you haven’t. Old vids still exist on here including the kings bridge.

Two brave people you are 😮

[@MrOVERANOUT]

About 30 years ago, my late wife and I walked part way along the old Camino almost to the bridge. It was full of holes through the concrete path but it did have a steel wire attached to the rock face, although no barriers to stop you falling off. We decided it wasn't safe and came back down. We always visited the ruined village of Bobastro at the top of the hill opposite and the embalse which we walked around. Happy days.
