24 March 2025 – Jalon to Alcalali


It is expected to be the wettest and coldest March in Spain since 1919

As a result we have had to cancel two out of the three walks planned

And the third was a “one off” walk due to high levels of water in the normally dry river beds

So it was a great relief to have a dry forecast for today

It was quite cold when we met outside the Jalon tourist information centre

But this did not stop quite a few members wearing shorts

We should have had 18 walking today

But we had one cancellation on Sunday night

It was nice to see Duncan and Marilyn for the first time since December

They have just arrived for a two week stay

Fortunately they seem to have missed the worst of the weather

It was also nice to welcome Alle, a new resident member

And to see Kris again, who had an accident on his bike almost five weeks ago

He is making a good recovery with bruised ribs

But still finds it painful to ride his bike

But I think he enjoyed this relatively easy walk

Jan was also walking today, her second walk since January

Despite all of the injured and recovering we made very good progress

Last time this walk took us 3 hours and 20 minutes

Today we finished in less than 3 hours

So we were a little early at bar Casa Claudia

For our well deserved after walk drink

Temperature – 12 to 16c

Time Taken – 3 hours

Distance – 10 km
