17 November 2022 – Jalon to Alcalali


12 on today’s walk

This included Bianca, a welcome addition to the group

Numbers will probably decrease as we approach Christmas

We are asking for new members on Facebook

But we don’t want too many at once

We were lucky with the weather again today

After a cloudy start the sun was out by the time we reached Alcalali

We had a very pleasant banana break at the mirador

Where we were entertained by Sarah

We visit the mirador on many of our morning walks, but I never get tired of it

Then back to Parcent on the beehive route

We were quite surprised there was so much water in the river 


It is a week since it rained, but the rain obviously still coming down from the hills

By now it was quite warm, and we were glad for the shade of the trees

Everyone was VERY quiet as we crossed the field of bee hives

We enjoyed the unusual (to us) views of Parcent and Orba Castle

Disappointed to find the final river was too deep and fast to cross

So we had to decide whether to return or find an alternative

The alternative was 1 km along the Orba to Parcent road

So we were more than ready for a cold drink at Parcent Cooperativa

Temperature – 24c

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 10 km
