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.

Entrance to Caminito Del Rey
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
