12 June 2023 – Alcalali to Parcent


 Summer temperatures have finally arrived

So we started at 0900 to beat the hottest part of the day

Alan brought along Bert, a friend from the UK

A second friend, Nigel, cancelled because of blisters from an earlier walk

But he managed to make it to the bar after the walk!

Given the higher temperatures, the shade on this walk was very welcome

There was also a gentle breeze, which made it very pleasant

We had our banana break at the font in Parcent

Where everyone made for the shaded seating areas

Hot coffee from our new mini flask was much appreciated

As was the sweets provided by David and (posing) Sandra

As usual no one wanted to get walking again

But we wanted to get to the bar before it got too hot

We did however stop to feed our friendly piggy

From Parcent back to Alcalali is very exposed and therefore very hot

So we had a final water stop at the Ermita

Richard left his hat, and Ali his walking stick, at the Ermita

Ali went back, but Richard didn’t

We used bar Torre for our drink, because there was more shade than in the square

Another very enjoyable summer walk

Temperature – 21 to 28c

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 9 km
