As forecast it was bright and sunny when we met at Javea
port, though the sea was quite choppy.
The walk starts with a steep climb up to the lighthouse, and
we were pleased that the track was not too muddy or slippery.
At the first stop Pat told us all about an experienced
Spanish walker who was drowned in a flash flood at Barranco Inferno last week.
By the time we reached the top of the hill we were all well
warmed up, and the jackets and jumpers had been removed.
The views from here are some of the best of Javea and the
surrounding area
Another short walk and we stopped again – banana stop this
time
Then it was a level walk to the tower overlooking Denia. Strangely the ground was much muddier here,
and care was needed with slippery rocks hidden by the tall gorse.
As we neared the tower we came in sight of the abandoned
urbanisation overlooked by Montgo.
These houses were started without permission and eventually had to be abandoned. No doubt a lot of broken dreams left behind
with the half finished buildings.
Warm and sunny by the time we arrived at the tower........
.......where we spent a pleasant half hour eating our lunch
and enjoying the sea views.
Then back to the windmills and down to Javea for a drink
before making our way home.
