Phil introduced us to a new walk from Pedreguer up to Castell de L’Ocaive.  We started the walk at the Ermita, walking along the pipeline before starting the climb up to the castle.  It proved to be quite a challenging walk with a couple of big climbs, and some awkward clambering over rocks, but worth it for some incredible views, particularly when we got to the castle.  Conditions were perfect for walking and the walk took around 3 hrs 40 mins.

We had coffee at Els Porxens in the square (Bar Cachap appears to be permanently closed) and lunch at Taurino’s.  Anne had bad cramp during lunch, Gareth had it when we got back to the car after the walk, and Freda got it at the end of the meal!  If we do this walk again, perhaps we need to take magnesium with us!
