 Was that Frodo I saw at the 2:43 mark?  Nah, too tall and Sam was nowhere in sight :P

  Amazing how one can get vertigo staring at a flat panel screen(insert dizzy face icon here).
Give me..a frame to build a bike on, and my imagination will build upon that frame

 :o :o :o :o

I think, given the location, the best I can say is 'Madre De Dios' :o

Why on earth did they feel the need to build it in the first place though I wonder ???

I like looking at it but walking that I dunno.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to El Camino del Rey.

History

In 1901 it was obvious that the workers of the Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls needed a walkway to cross between the falls, to provide transport of materials, vigilance and maintenance of the channel. Construction of the walkway lasted four years. It was finished in 1905.

In 1921 the king Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name.

Those crazy Spaniards!  :D
