Is this the scariest walk in the world? Caminito Del Rey [S2-E42]

Is this the scariest walk in the world? Caminito Del Rey
Caminito del rey often comes up as the most dangerous walk in Europe and often the world. So of course we couldn't miss this as we were so close. Marianne booked it despite being scared of heights.
Warning if you are scared of heights watch this video before booking !
Caminito del rey is about a 2 hour hike through a valley, most of which is along thin walkways attached to the edge of the cliff in places over 100m high.
So this episode is one of adventure and bravery - especially for Marianne as we hiked the 'El Chorro' which is also known as the death hike !!!
We hope that you enjoy this episode .

    The original path was was more exciting 30 years ago. Never realised before that our escape tunnel carried the Malaga- Cordoba line. Perhaps trains were slower and noisier the.

We are currently Self Isolating in a car park in Istanbul !! But the roads are opening up soon and we will be back on the road to share some beauty of Turkey 🇹🇷🙌 As we were driving through it to complete the challenge of driving around the world !! and then the pandemic hit so the borders are closed ... but we will try again next year !! Until then .... we will share the Turkish countryside !! Best wishes Marianne 👍🚐💕

    TREAD the globe I understand the isolating part! St. Louis is just now starting to open back up. And you are correct, there are some very beautiful areas in the Midwest, especially souther Missouri and norther Arkansas. Very deep rolling hills with multiple rivers running through them. I prefer the area like you got to explore in this video. I was born in Southern California but have lived in the Midwest most of my life, though I did get to visit Europe (England, France, Germany,Luxembourg and Belgium). I very much enjoyed Brighton and several other areas when I was there. If you both ever decide to visit the Midwest, I can suggest some of the most interesting place to go! Thanks again! I look forward to seeing some of your sights in Turkey!

    Lord, your videos are being posted with alacrity! Keep it up because they are well worth watching. I've been following your overnight stops on the app you recommend, sometimes with difficulty but sometimes easily. For instance, at Ronda, it was easy to pull up the satellite view from Google maps, and compare that with the app. Gotcha! Just a thought, but could you put up the overnight stop coordinates? I could understand your reluctance, but if your experiences are so good, then perhaps they should be shared?
