This is the most spectacular coastal walk that we do
There were 12 of walking today
Hard to believe that we last did this walk in December 2021
Five of today’s group also walked on that one
The walk starts off with a gentle ramble towards the sea
After the mirador the track becomes much more difficult
First a poor track downhill
Then across broken ground
To the ridge
The track over the ridge is easier, but always very windy
Which makes it more difficult for anyone who does not like “exposure”
Keeping together as a group makes it easier for those worried about this section
And we all crossed the ridge without any difficulty
And soon reached the flat area at the end.
Where we had a ten minute break
And some an early “banana break”
Then downhill on a rocky track with dangerous loose stones
Not difficult but tiring as you have to be careful with every single step
And finally the destroyed Napoleonic fort
Where we had our official 15 minute banana break
Plenty of time to admire the spectacular sea views
The next part is particularly difficult, even with the help of metal hand holds
And chains over the more difficult sections
There is also a little scrambling
And finally a steep climb, even with the useful wooden hand rails
Which some of the group needed more than others
And finally the impressive Mirador
With our first view of Granadella bay
Where we had our long awaited picnic on the beach
The threatened rain arrived just as we reached the cars
Temperature – 18 to 24c
Time taken – 6 hours
Distance – 9 km
Total Ascent – 360 metres
