Chilly at the start, and everyone wore jackets and jumpers
But very pleasant walking in the bright sun
The field was recently ploughed, but they left a flat area to walk near the low wall
Lots of oranges looking ready to pick, highlighted by the bright sun and clear blue sky
Jan has started to use her mobile phone to take photos – at last
After walking for an hour we started to remove layers of clothing
We reached Alcalali early because we were walking faster than normal due to the reduced temperatures
The river is more overgrown each time we cross it
Bamboo quickly becomes a problem here, and is very expensive to clear the river beds
There was a Spanish group at the mirador when we arrived, but they left as soon as they saw us approaching
Just as we settled down for our banana break Tina’s walking group arrived
But they did not stay long, they had planned coffee and brandy in the square
Our group had to be content with Jan’s boiled sweets
The temperatures had risen for our walk back to Jalon
And most of the group were in their shirt sleeves
We choose Riu Rau because the other bars were in the shade
Where we passed a very pleasant hour recovering from our walk.
Temperature – 13 to 18c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
