Once known as ‘the world’s most dangerous walkway’, Malaga’s Caminito del Rey has shaken off its fearsome reputation in recent years, thanks to a £2.3 million ($2.9m) renovation completed in 2015. Constructed in 1905, it’s attached to the terrifyingly steep walls of the El Chorro gorge, and was originally used by construction workers as they transported materials to the Guadalhorce dam.

Throughout the 20th century, it fell into disrepair, closing to the public in 2000 after five deaths in just two years. And while the Caminito Del Rey’s paths may no longer be narrow and rickety (and all walkers must now wear hard hats), those with a fear of heights would be wise to steer clear.
