The El Camino Del Rey is a trail in Spain but it is not just a set of fields, hills and small mountainous paths which you go through, this is one of the most dangerous trails in the entire world. To do this, you do so at your own risk and there is zero guarantee that you wont be injured, even fatally whilst partaking in this amazing trail. The path around the Camino Del Rey is only one meter in width and in parts there is actually no path at all, instead there are only steel girders which held the path in place before it fell into disrepair this means that you quite literally have to balance on a very thin metal beam across a sheer drop of over 350 ft! This is definitely not for thos of you that are weak stomached and as I stated before you could end up fatally injured, this is a trail which is taken at your own risk so please be careful if you try it and make sure you go on a warm and windless day.
