El Chorro 14.3.2006-21.3.2006

John & Martin. Note, until I sit down with a guidebook some of the Spanish spelling is likely to be out)

Landscapes

a) entrance to el chorro gorge

b) camito del rey

Insane walkway "loosly" attached to the side of the rockface for the King to inspect the railway works. includes "gaps" (highlighted in fourth picture).

Alternatively, you can walk through the railway tunnels. You can get a 6000 Euro fine for this. Of course, being law abiding citizens, we did nothing of the sort...
