Camino Del Rey (Spain)

We've just driven through Spain as we make our way to Morocco for the start of our Winter Mt Toubkal and Sahara trekking season.
This time we decided to visit El Chorro in Southern Spain about 50km inland from Malaga, El Chorro is a world famous sport climbing area, so we were pretty excited about visiting the area.

We weren't disappointed, before our arrival in El Chorro we wild camped on the shores of a huge reservoir, made a huge fire ate well and drank some great Spanish plonk. This was to be one the best camps throughout our drive from London to Marrakech.
The following morning buzzing with excitement we head off for El Chorro with the plan of climbing a few routes and checking out the famous Camino Del Rey, which is a walkway built in 1902 and situated 100m up in the El Chorro gorge and possibly the most dangerous walk in the world.
Rather than explaining our day on the Camino Del Rey I added a video link below so you can it for your own eyes, but whatever you do, you should put Camino Del Rey and El Chorro and your list of places to visit.
