Shawn and I went to Spain and walked/climbed the Camino Del Rey, a 100 year old footpath on the side of a cliff which was crumbling or had completely fallen apart in many places. I would not recommend this place to people in wheelchairs or women with prams.
When we were there we learnt that the Camino was due to be demolished the next week! The Camino del Rey has since been completely rebuilt and is now a full-on tourist trap. We were very lucky to have made it just in time to climb along the Camino, especially as we had no idea that it was just about to be rebuilt. It also means that this video might well be one of the last ever videos of the old ruined walkway!
