8 December 2025 – Alcalali to Parcent

 



Numbers walking often go down at this time of year


And this is likely to increase as we get closer to Christmas

Today there were 13 regulars who were unable to walk

Despite this we had 23 on today’s walk

This included three new members

Also Duncan and Marilyn who are here for a short visit

Plus Barry and Linda who we have not seen since May

We were very lucky with the weather again

Warm sun, though quite cold in the shade

Most wore a jumper or jacket, but quite a few in shorts as well

We had s short water break on the pipeline to admire the view

But it was in the shade and too cold to sit as we usually do

Fortunately our regular banana stop at the font was in the sun

And it was very pleasant sitting in the sun

Barry and Linda brought some proper English sweets

Which were very much appreciated.

We had planned to visit bar Porche after our walk

Fortunately we warned them at the start of the walk

Because they were fully booked due to it being a Spanish holiday

We went to bar NoNombre instead

It is outside the village centre and is usually more quiet

Today was no different and they were pleased to have us

In the UK most pubs would welcome a large walking group

But here in Spain it is often the opposite

Temperature – 19c

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 9km
