Are you up for Spain’s most deadly hike!?

I enjoy a nice hike, but I don’t like hikes that scare me…. so this one isn’t for me.

I recently read about Spain’s most dangerous hike. High in the Andalusian Mountains, el Caminito del Rey. The path zigzags over the Garganta del Chorro gorge, hugging the precipitous cliff face 350-feet above the Guadalhorce River that carved out the narrow stone corridor.

What’s the hike like? Check out these sample images, courtesy iExplore.com. Click on the above link to see and learn more, in case the adrenaline addict in you wants to go?
