Day trip to Caminito del Rey

+ 8

Do you like strong emotions? This path which goes through the beautiful area of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, near Malaga, was considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world. Although it's now much safer, after a deep restoration, one thing hasn't changed: the unique experience of strolling along walkways hanging over 100 meters up on a sheer cliff face. You'll never forget the views!
