A good turnout of 18 for my favourite walk
It was nice to have Helen walking with the group again
It is quite a steep climb right from the village
But we had frequent water and viewing stops
It took us about an hour to reach the top
Where we had a 15 minute banana stop
And plenty of time to admire the fantastic views
Plus, of course, the traditional group photo
This was followed by a short scramble onto the main ridge
Where we again has frequent water, view and photo stops
I took 81 photos and it was hard to select the best 20 for the blog
And I then had to add a few taken by other members of the group
It took three hours to reach our usual picnic stop
With, once again, great views
This was followed by a steep descent into the tree line
Which was a lovely contrast on this sunny day
We all opted for the extension to the rustic La Venta Del Collao restaurant
It was closed today
But we used their scenic picnic area
We now faced a 90 minute walk back to Benimaurell
Which was a pleasure on such a lovely day
The path required concentration being a little eroded and overgrown
Once more we had a couple of stops to admire the views to the sea
A cold drink in the village completed a lovely day’s walk
Temperature – 11-20c
Time taken – 6.5 hours
Distance – 9 km
Total Ascent – 370 metres
