Camping--El Chorro

A couple of weeks after school started, we took the kids camping.  It was our first time camping together as a family and we had a blast.  We went to this place called "El Chorro" where it is said the most dangerous hike in the world is.  This hike looked SCARY!!!  It is called "El caminito del rey" which translates to the King's little pathway.  Basically it is a little walkway built into the side of a rock face, with parts of the trail missing.  We watched some guys hike it--they were crazy!!

Camping in Spain is not like camping in America.  You cannot build fires here, so all of the campgrounds have restaurants, pools, running water, ours had a ropes course, it was nice.  We ate at a restaurant, however, I did miss cooking hot dogs and smores over the fire!
The hike on the side of the rock wall.




3 guys climbing--you basically have to rock climb it.

 On our way home from camping, we stopped in Malaga--a big city about 2 hours away from us.  They had a fun castle that we walked around--I should keep count--I think we have seen at least 50 or more castles in the last year!!

The kids and Eric in the dungeon!!


Look for 2 little faces poking out!
