● Southern Spain: King’s Little Pathway (Caminito del Rey)
The King’s Little Pathway is known as “the scariest hiking trail in the world.” It had fallen into disrepair for many years and was shut down after five visitors fell to their deaths between 1999 and 2000. This year, millions of euros were invested to renovate the 4-kilometer trail, which is expected to reopen in February.
