Thanks to the ever-inspirational BestHike.com I’ve just come across this rather excellent post about the 5 most gut-wrenching hikes on earth from hikingboots.com.
Most of them are actually Via Ferrata rather than straightforward hikes, but one in particular stands out for its scariness, El Camino del Rey, near Malaga in Spain:
Pretty precarious, no? Sadly it looks like it got so dangerous they’ve now closed it – but apparently they’ll be repairing it soon, and is definitely a hike to add to my ever-growing list of planned hikes.
Oh My God! I don’t think I could!!
I suspect when it reopens it’ll be a bit safer, with railings and stuff :(
I think I walked a bit of that with Matt, Simon and Paul a few years back – it was indeed terrifying!
