21 April 2025 – Jalon to Alcalali Ermita

 

 Maureen arrived in the van, which she personally converted to a camper van for her challenging Camino de Santiago walk which starts on Wednesday

There were 19 of us for today’s walk

The weather forecast was for a sunny morning

And we were not disappointed

Lovely clear and sunny morning

I expected the valley to be busy on such a lovely Easter Monday

But in fact we hardly saw anyone else throughout the walk

Lovely walking weather, but we still sought out shade for our water breaks

We had two new walkers today

Maria is a friend of Yolanda

She lives in Cataluna but is hoping to move to the valley

She certainly saw it at it’s best today

Teresa’s husband Andy joined us for his first walk with the group

He works full time and it was nice to finally meet him

We didn’t see many walkers today, but we all admired this lovely horse and rider

The valley was particularly attractive after the recent rain

Masses of colourful flowers looking their best in the Spring sunshine

All of our walks are enjoyable, but even more so today

We are well into the non resident season

And it was great to see Claire and Tim

There are here for a three month stay

So we hope to see a lot of them whilst they are here

 There may not have been many people around during our walk

But it was very busy at bar Claudia

We were so spread out that I didn’t take the usual bar photo

Temperature – 18 to 22c

Time Taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
