El Caminito Del Ray – The King’s Pathway

Do you ever feel like your world is boring and it is just circulating between your job, shop and home? Well, there’s a cure, and it’s called El Caminito Del Ray.

Earth is an amazing place to live and explore, and this is one of those things you should see and experience. El Caminito del Ray – The King’s Pathway, located in Spain, is an awesome path to walk. If you dare!

I have skied pretty steep mountain faces and I have seen some truly amazing places, but El Caminito del Ray is absolutely mind blowing. Located 200 meters high on almost 90 degrees steep mountain face makes El Caminito del Ray the most freaking place to walk. El Caminito del Ray was built in 1901 for the workers of two falls. Today the pathway is in lousy condition as you can see in the video. Several people have lost their lives in this dangerous walk. Some years ago four people fell and died in short time period, and after that the Spanish authorities closed the entrance to the pathway. Anyhow, every now and then people find their ways to the El Caminito del Ray, just like this guy on the video. Some climbers also use El Caminito del Ray as their way to a famous climbing route.

Would you walk the King’s Pathway?
