This would be an interesting walk for some daring pilgrims who wanted to start their Camino in Southern Spain.

Only my opinion: There's intrepid, and then there's stupid.

Its an amazing place to visit and was, many years ago now, a fabulous hike. But it has deteriorated badly, and been damaged by abusive users in places. And there are still idiots every year who follow the advice of an early edition Rough Guide and use the rail tunnel for access.

I understand the Camino del Rey is being reconditioned and made safe, and will open up for hikers sometime in 2015. As it is now, it is illegal to hike there. The Guardia Civil are known to hang out at the ends and arrest the survivors.

The Guardia Civil may give you a special "Credential" which will cost you money in the local court....

Just not safe at the moment ....
