30th December 2021

Wow!  What an end to 2021!  Phil introduced Freda, Gareth & Anne to a new circular walk starting and ending at the Piscina Restaurant in Parcent and walking up (and up!) to Coll de Rates. It was a beautiful day and views were incredible.  It was certainly hard work, with lots of climbing but it was well worth the effort and is one we will want to repeat.  The walk was 13.79km with a gain of  670m (our biggest ever climb) and took 5h 20 mins.

We met for coffee at the Cooperativa in Parcent and had a very nice late lunch (3.30!) at La Solana in Alcalali.  By the way, the walk was changed from Friday to Thursday as we couldn’t find anywhere to eat on Friday 31st – lots of places are closed for holidays.
