A HAIR-raising video posted on YouTube shows a tourist on the notoriously dangerous yet spectacular "walk of death" walkway in Spain.
The Caminito del Rey walkway winds around the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, nearMalaga, Spain.
More than a century old, it has fallen into disrepair. The entire concrete top section has collapsed, leaving open air gaps bridged only by narrow steel beams.
Few of the original handrails exist but a safety-wire runs along the path, which is one metre wide and rises over 100 metres above the river below.
