Day 3 - Thursday Sept 3rd El Aguilar. About 4 or 5 hours 10 km about 250m ascent
The splendid route starting and ending in the village which takes us up through the forests, farms and ridges around Sella. Martin is our guide - we discovered in May that a good GPS track is an invaluable tool when route decisions look ambiguous up among the almond
terraces! We´ll take a substantial picnic lunch - and lots of water,: we´re away quite a long time. However there´s nothing so challenging here to warrant a description other than “easy”
Liz will make a Casaroc dinner in the evening - about 8.00 o´clock
Guides: Martin and Steve

Day 4 - Friday 4th Sept This is the night of the full moon and
we´re planning to follow the route which goes up towards
the Comptadores pass,

In the morning, if you feel like two walks in one day, we can take the one hour route up to the summit of the Peñon Divino.

Morning route:To the summit of the Divino - about 2 hours, 4 km about 100m of ascent.
Drive up the Tagarina valley and park by the spring where the tarmac ends. Leave on the track towards the summit of the Divino. Pass the abandoned farm and eventually the equally abandoned pigeon loft. Cross a small area of scrub and woodland to emerge onto the slope of limestone pavement which becomes the summit of El Divino, one of Sella´s most recognisable peaks. Home in plenty of time for Tapas lunch at Paco´s. (about 2.30)
Guide and drivers: Steve, Liz
Night route: Coll el Comptador - Passet del Goleró - about 3.5 hours, 11km. About 350m Leave at 22:30 by car 20 minutes up the valley, parking at the Font de l´Arc Up the valley NE following the broad track for about 3 km, then turning S below the Coll el Comptador to take a walking track up the hill towards the now abandoned Masia Santacucos, a good place for our moonlight picnic. On up the hill following an ever narrowing shepherd´s path which eventually becomes a rocky track skirting a steep gully and a spring with a shepherd´s pool. On through the trees and to the series of now abandoned Bancales, terraces, up which we climb to eventually make the Passet del Goleró, 874 m. Great views from here down to Sella and Alicante city.. The single-file track winds down through the scrub and Rosemary towards a cluster of houses and on down the broader driveable track, past the rock climbing zone of the Arc and so back to the cars. Back to Sella around 2 or 3 in the morning.
