Journalists walk along the new Caminito del Rey (The King’s Little Pathway) in El Chorro-Alora, near Malaga, southern Spain, yesterday. Dubbed by many media outlets as the world’s scariest pathway, the three-kilometre long route, which was built at about 100 metres above the gorge of Los Gaitanes between the years of 1901 and 1905, was closed in 2001 after five people died. A new walkway had then been built over the old one and will open to the public on March 28.
