Phil & Freda and Alan & Linda met at Phil & Freda’s villa in La Sella and started walking towards Jesus pobre through the orange groves towards the Ancient olive tree.  Unfortunately due to the heat, the walk was cut short and the planned lunch in Jesus Pobre was cancelled.  Phil & Freda walked a total of 9.3km.

The millenial olive Tree (Olea europaea) is found just where we cross the town of Jávea, at the feet of the Montgó, making an impact with its spectacular dimensions. Its silhouette has grown imperceptibly but continuously since more than 800 years ago. Since Muslim times, it is the rested witness of the presence of man and historical changes that took place in its surroundings. Its perimeter, measured at a height of 1.3 m from the ground, is 9.3 m. It stretches upwards 7 m.
