4 May 2023 – Alcalali to Parcent


17 on today’s walk

Should have been 18, but we had one “no show”

This included two friends of Alan, on holiday from the UK

It also included Claire and Tim on their first walk with this group

And Rochelle, who has walked with our Monday group previously

It was nice to welcome back Faezeh from an extended holiday

It was another hot day

But fortunately we did the road climb in the first hour

There was then a lot of shade along the “pipeline”

We also had lots of water stops to prevent over heating

We had to give way to a large group of cyclists

And most of them on electric bikes

Slightly deflates the macho image of Spanish cyclists


I was concerned that there might not be any shade at our picnic stop

But fortunately there was some light shade

Making it quite comfortable to have our break

We rested a little longer than usual to recover from the heat

The return to Alcalali is more exposed, and the temperatures were higher

There was not much shade in the square in Alcalali

So we had our after walk drink inside bar Porche

Temperature – 18-25c

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
