Nine of us for today’s walk, including Sue who is back in
Spain after a short break
The walk is a circuit of Olta, including a short but steep
climb at the start. Then a pleasant
stroll to the start of the ascent to the
summit.
After a short break we started the climb. Mostly good tracks, and a long steady climb
for an hour or so.
Then a level walk over a very rocky section, with lovely
views towards Benidorm
And finally the summit.
It was very windy, but that was not a problem as it was a hot day
The views from the summit are amongst the best we get on any
of our walks, and well worth the climb.
There is plenty of space and shelter from the wind to have
our well deserved picnic lunch.
I love this photo of Tom sitting in splendid isolation
enjoying the view. It was taken with my
new wide angle option and if you click on it you will see it slightly larger.
We had a longer than usual break to enjoy the view and only
left when more walkers arrived to enjoy the peace and enjoy the view.
The track downhill is more difficult in parts, but
fortunately it was very dry today and not slippery as it had been on our last
visit.
The ever changing views of the coast make this a really
delightful walk.
