Sensation seekers risked their lives to tread a path that is called the most dangerous in the world, located in southern Spain. Those with great caution track roads and halting at a height of more than 100 meters it inch by inch.
They are not alone. People who like adrenaline had flocked to southern Spain to experience the path of El Caminito Del Rey who has lived 110 years before the trail began to be fixed next year. Some travel companies are now starting to offer an unofficial tour after a video, which made my hair stand on end, from a climber who was circulated through the channels on YouTube.
Daily Mail on Sunday (9/10/2011), reported that the promotion company said, people do not need to be experienced to be melitasi climbers on the trail. The requirement is only that the participants must be at least twelve years old and not afraid of heights.
Pathway, also known as Setapak King Street, built in 1905 for workers in order to berjalanan between the two hydroelectric power. But the line was closed in 2000 after the two fell and killed a pedestrian.
The road snaking along the edge of high cliffs at El Chorro Gorge, thirty miles from Malaga. Most of the road lane width of one meter was completely destroyed by the iron-iron rusted, gaping holes, no handrails, and some parts are actually broken or disconnected.
An emergency wire is now mounted on the surface of the stone so that hikers and climbers can hold on to the wire when melitas. Yet many still choose not to use safety equipment at all.
Road repairs to begin. Budget of 8.3 million euros and will take three years. Improvements will make the trail safe again so attract more tourists. Improvements will include construction of handrails, safety barrier, lighting and visitor center.
A climber on the route last week said, "Too bad they will repair the path. There will be many improvements and it will make him lose the sensation again. Right now we are free to go there but I am sure, they will make us have to pay if you want to use it in the future. "
