When I lived in provincia Malaga back in 1967, we used that to get
home from the market town.

Ok, not quite that, but it was a narrow road with dangerous hairpin
turns. The road through Benalmadena to Mijas was even worse.

Now I think the area is all developed into residential streets
halfway up the mountain from Fuengirola to Mijas.

The Bible! Because all the works of science cannot equal the
wisdom of cattle-sacrificing primitives who thought every
animal species in the world lived within walking distance of
Noah's house.

There's a pathway with the same name at the border between Italy and
France, along the coast, and it's just another very narrow and dangerous
passage on the vertical side of a mountain. The spanish one looks much
more dangerous, though.
These days north african immigrants are using that path to try to reach
France so it's on many italian and french newspapers:

Seeing how they were built before, I don't think I'd take a chance
anyway. Too flimsy for me. You know their modern building codes are
not going to be very stringent.

That's nothing!!

You're a long way off the ground and have a device to save yourself!!

That walkway wasn't even safe enough to jump off.
The lowest jump I've ever done is off the bridge going to the town of Tromso,
Norway. It was about 120', but was over (bloody *freezing* cold) water. No
rocks.

Except for the difference in language, it looks like the border crossing
between Mexico and the USA.

Same problem. Except the US doesn't set up feed stations and beds for the
illegals. (I take it that was what they were doing in the video.)

*Only* with a rig on my back!!

I've tried bungy jumping, that scared the crap outta me, done roping down
buildings, cliffs etc, that's OK, just getting over the edge of the building
scares the crap outta me... and have done FRIES (Fast Roping) on many
occasions.... never had time to get the crap scared outta me doing that :-)


You have to learn to switch off that part of your brain that screams at you
"GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE!!" :-)
