Costa Blanca Walks

WELCOME TO GEOFF'S COSTA BLANCA WALKS! http://www.costablancawalks.weebly.com Walks are from October to April. Often a car is needed to access the start.

Most are near Benidorm or Calpe, with a more northerly walk near Jalon or Gata once a month. There is a walk every Wednesday starting at 10.30 - these are usually the easier walks. On Saturdays we arrange longer walks with higher ascents so these tend to be moderate / hard. The aim of the walks is to enjoy the scenery and to make friends. The pace will be steady , with stops to admire the views, recover from climbs and examine features of interest. There will be a picnic lunch on the walk and a social drink at the end. The walks are of a moderate standard, divided into three grades:
^^ Easy Mod. 8km. 200m asc. 3hrs ( incl. stops)
^^^ Moderate 10 km 300m ascent 3.5 hrs ( incl. stops)
^^^^ Hard Mod. 12 km 400m ascent 4 hrs ( incl. stops )

There is no charge for the walks. If you want to show your appreciation then offer the leader a drink at the end. Many paths in Spain are rough and rocky , with steep sections with a loose surface requiring mountain boots with a thick sole , deep tread and ankle support. BOOTS MUST BE WORN FOR ALL WALKS! You will be required to sign in at the start to say that you walk at your own responsibility. YOU WALK AT YOUR OWN RISK. You need insurance. The Austrian Alpine Club UK for £36 a year covers rescue, medical and repatriation costs. I hope to see you on a walk soon, Geoff.

WEDNESDAY 12TH NOVEMBER - SELLA - CAMI DE COLERA ( THE CHOLERA WALK ) - EASY 7KM , 250 METRES ASCENT. 10:30

The most significant cholera outbreak in Sella occurred in 1885, lasting 19 days, resulting in 18 deaths and 45 serious infections.
This event led to the creation of an alternative route to bypass the village, now known as “The Cholera Walk,” which remains a popular hiking trail today.
Also known as the Sella River Walk.

The village of Sella is on the CV- 770 - 15 minutes north of the N-332 / Villajoyosa. We will park up in the layby on the left just before the bridge that leads into the village.

We start walking at the picnic site, with its limited parking, which is reached by a long, steep, winding road, recently resurfaced.
But we will meet at the the bottom at 10.30 to share cars.
