"After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances; however, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway."
Yup, that's us.

I was in El Chorro in 94 for 2 weeks. We would get drunk most nights at the train station bar and then walk the walkway back to the orange grove (just ahead and down hill from where the video stops), sometimes carrying firewood.
It was either walk the walkway or walk the train tracks through two very long tunnels (pitch black) with the very real possibility of meeting a train while in the tunnels and having to jump of the tracks and take your pack off and press yourself up flat to the wall of the tunnel and have the train whizz by less than three feet away. That was a rush!
The walk way looks a lot worse now.
