21 February 2022 – Denia to Javea Windmills


 It is more than two years since we last did this lovely walk

It combines coast and campo, plus some great views

We had 18 for today’s walk

This exceeds our nominal maximum of 16 on each walk

But Helen and Roger returned after their holiday

And David and Sandra returned to Spain for another three months

So we had to make an exception for “long service” members

Once more the weather was exceptional

Which was fortunate because this is a long walk

At 16km it is one of our longest walks

And we need good weather to have longer than usual breaks

Once more most of the group had not done this walk before

And I am not sure that they were prepared for the longer distance

But everyone seemed to enjoy it

As always Jan contributed to the cairns we passed

We had our picnic at the windmills overlooking Javea

This is always a popular spot to visit

But we were surprised how busy it was today

The rest of the walk was very quiet

Even the bar on the promenade where we had our well deserved cold drink

Time taken – 6 hours

Distance – 16 km

Total Ascent – 335 metres

Temperature – 10-21c
