Okay we’ll start from this trail first, EL Caminito Del Rey or Camino del Rey. In English language we called “King's pathway”. It is located in El Chorro, near Álora in the province of Málaga, Spain. It was built in 1905 (more than 100 years Oh god!). Due to the age of this trail is quite old, then the trail is not strong and some paths are destroyed. You should mind your step everytime when you walking there. However, there is only one rule before you climbing there is your age should be at least twelve years old. More information here

Then, the fish qualities for the sushi restaurants in Ginza are better than the Sushi restaurants in the Tsukiji fish market.
