Caminito del Rey

Narrative: 

4.5-mile hike along the refurbished Caminito del Rey. The new boardwalk built o replace the precarious concrete one is wide and had handrails. Hanging off the gorge walls 100 meters above the river, the path snakes around dramatic cliffs, providing breathtaking views around every turn. The only heart-stopping part of the hike was the final stretch when we crossed a long suspension bridge over the gorge through which the winds fiercely whipping, causing the bridge to swing quite a bit. The incredible views of the ravine and the valley beyond were a good distraction.
