16 January 2023 – Javea to Portichol


21 on this walk, I believe our largest group ever

Despite sending maps of start point, six got lost

So the walk started 15 minutes late

The last time we did this walk was 17 January 2019

And we discovered a new, and easier, route off Javea beach

The weather forecast  was for heavy winds, but in fact it was very calm

There is a new, well signed, path on Cap Prim

But it still visits all of my favourite view points

And the views remain pretty spectacular

Despite the temperature it was cold enough to warrant jackets

I was surprise, but pleased, when Nico presented me with a bell for my walking stick

Not much sun, but still great views

I offered an extension to Sardine Bay, but the group declined

Many were finding the planned route challenging enough

The sun came out as we reached Portichol beach

Which prompted Joke to go for a swim!

 Everyone was full of admiration, but none joined her

The climb up from the beach was just as difficult as I remember

And the return walk along Javea beach longer than I remember

At almost 3 euro for a beer the bar was just as expensive as I remember

Temperature – 17c

Time taken – 5 hours

Distance – 12km
