The Most Dangerous Touristic Route in the World (VIDEO)
By Diana Ungureanu/ Chisinau/ Moldova.ORG/ -- If you got bored of monotony of days that pass one after another without any important event which would attract your attention, then I invite you to check up your courage and self-control in browsing the most dangerous tourist paths in the world.
This phenomenal trail is located at a height varying between 100 metres and 3 kilometers from the ground and the practicable width of 1 m. El Camino del Rey was built between 1901 and 1905 and functioned as a passage for workers from two hydroelectric power centers, to traverse easier the Valley. In 1921, after King Alfonso XIII crossed it for the inauguration of the dam Conde Del Guadalhorce, bridge was given the designation of the King's Road. It was used in the past also by the workers, who worked at the arranging of the Chorro and Gaitanejo Waterfalls for tourists.
This route is located in the region of Malaga, in the southern of Spain, between Chorro and Gaitenejo waterfalls.
Today the route is officially closed for the tourist crossing because of the fact that the state, which the bridge is in, is dilapidated and very dangerous. However, bridge "King's Road" is searched for year after year of adrenaline enthusiasts from around the world, who want to overcome their own limits.
The road leads to the Canyon El Chorro near Alora, Malaga. The footbridge, which in some laces isn't wider than half a metre, today is present in the list of attractions of the region, although tourists go there at their own risk.
Although landscapes are splendid, the difficulty of the road stops tourists to cross it, especially because of many crashes that culminated with the death, so that this route was closed.
El Camino de Rey is, since 2006, in reconstruction, which was not finished until today.
Those who are brave and eager for a good dose of adrenaline are invited to navigate this walkway.
