For those of you who may not have seen this - this video was taken of a walkway along the steep cliff walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Alora in Malaga, Spain. Construction of this walkway took four years and was finished in 1905. The walkway is over 700 feet above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the concrete walkway have collapsed and all that is remaining is the steel beam originally in place to hold the deteriorated concrete up. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway. After four people died in two accidents around 2000, the government closed the entrances, but as you can see people still use it.
