The Caminito Del Rey is a walk in Spain on a walkway next to a narrow gorge. It was built as a maintenance road for the water supply for a hydroelectric power plant. Now it’s a tourist destination. It’s pretty spectacular.

    You're on a walkway next to a gorge
 
    
    
    It can be quite deep
 
    
    
    Sometimes it's narrow-ish
 
    
    
    There are a lot of steps
 
    
    
    A river runs through it
 
    
    
    This is the bridge the Spanish king crossed from the railway line. The name 'little walk' comes from this short walk.
 
    
    
    In the middle it widens to a valley
 
    
    
    This is the end
 
    
    
    Closer up
 
    
    
    Still closer up
 
    
    
    In various places you'll find viewing platforms
 
    
    
    The train line on the other side still works but doesn't get a lot of traffic
