5 February 2024 – Alcalali to Parcent


 Lovely blue sky, what a difference from last Monday

Should have been 18 walking today

But two cancellations due to illness

One of the very few almond blossoms in the valley this year

So sad when we think back to 3-4 years ago


 

They are still digging up almond trees due to the blight

Thanks to Pierre for this photo

Lovely walking along the pipeline on a sunny day

We stopped to admire the views and take photos

And also this “rustic shop”

So we were a little late reaching our picnic stop

Where we could choose warm sun or cool shade

Fortunately Jan remembered to bring the coffee this week

Pierre presented Jan with yet another (very large) “holey rock”

Despite the sun it was still cool enough for some of the group to keep their jackets on

Though most removed them once we were walking in the sun again

Thanks to Tina for this photo – showing my best side!

Lots of space to spread out and have a natter on this last section

And of course the usual water stop at the Ermita

Though everyone was keen to complete the last section to the bar

Leaving me at the back to take some photos from the back of the group

Then the “sting in the tail” – the steep climb up to the village square

And the well deserved end of walk drink

Another very enjoyable walk in great company

Temperature – 15 to 19c

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 10 km
