El Caminito del Rey - upper gorge - part 2 of 3
มุมมอง 1.2K10 ปีที่แล้ว
This section of El Camino del Rey passes through a particularly narrow and dramatic part of the upper gorge (Los Gaitanes) at El Chorro. There are side paths which drop down to the river for various sluice gates and tunnels, and the walkway is generally in good condition. Recorded 30 March 2014. Possibly one of the last through trips before long-threatened renovation work starts in April 2014. ...

The upper gorge (Los Gaitanes) at El Chorro is less frequently visited than the lower gorge; it is equally dramatic but of a different character. The walls are closer together, and heavily sculpted by millennia of churning water. The walkway of El Camino del Rey is generally in better condition here. However the few missing sections are harder to traverse than in the lower gorge and require som...

The walkway of El Camino del Rey winds around the edge of the lower Los Gaitanes gorge from the concrete bridge to where the gorge opens out. This is one of the most spectacular sections, with sheer drops of 100 metres to the Guadalhorce river, and views of the railway tunnels and bridges opposite. Recorded 30 March 2014. Possibly one of the last through trips before long-threatened renovation ...

There is a network of tunnels which lead off from El Camino del Rey near the bridge. These connect the old canals and the new tunnel for the metal pipe which feeds the hydroelectric station. Some of them have airy views... Recorded 30 March 2014. Possibly one of the last through trips before long-threatened renovation work starts in April 2014.

The first section of El Camino del Rey is accessed by stepping across a series of metal brackets anchored in the rock face this is good preparation for later on. Then an easy but exposed climb leads up to the walkway itself, which then winds around to the famous concrete bridge across the Gaitanes gorge. Recorded 30 March 2014. Possibly one of the last through trips before long-threatened renov...

The walkway of the El Camino del Rey finishes at the top of the upper gorge (Los Gaitanejos). This section of the walkway with its handrails and overhead curved supports is very well preserved. The last section has been removed to prevent access to non-climbers, but can be bypassed by an easy climb and abseil. Recorded 30 March 2014. Possibly one of the last through trips before long-threatened...

    Best of all, your Series about the caminito..This morning I walked with you while sitting in my living room. Now I have an understanding how it goes. I enyoy especially the part with upper gorge. You do not find much about it, most videos only show the lower gorge. I have been in andalucia many times and this has the feeling of it.

    To be honest this is way more dangerous than any other video makes it look. I couldn't do it. Almost dropped my phone twice just watching this.

    This is hand down the best video about this on TH-cam and (as expected) it was burried teally deep in the algorithm. So good that you recorded it before they ruined it.

      Enter.ba Magazine Apparently they were used to working on ship's rigging. They drilled in steel poles above the walkway, and suspended from them they built the original walkway from railway track, terracotta bricks, and concrete. An amazing feat!!
