It was good to be back walking with Phil & Freda again, and we decided to do the Benidoleig walk in reverse, starting at Bar Ballesta,  where we had a coffee before the walk.  We’d mistakenly thought that the walk would be easier this way and would break us back gently, but it wasn’t to be!!   It was a good workout, but the uphill climb was slightly harder than our usual walk.  The second part of the walk, after our banana stop, was different to say the least.  A lot of the forest, and our usual path back, has been cleared as (as we found out later) they are planning to build up to 20 villas in the area.  It spoiled the rest of the walk, and we will probably have to avoid doing this walk in the near future, until they have finished the construction work.  

The walk was 7.8 kms, and took 2 hours 45 minutes and we went back to Bar Ballesta for lunch.
