Saturday
Day 4 (walk about 3 or 4 hours)
Drive out to the start of the
Bhuddists´ Valley (
also known as the Secret valley) for a lovely and varied route up and out
between the Goleró and Sanchet peak - an adventurous group might want to
tackle Sanchet but it is a bit of a rock-scramble - down past the
Carrasco and Sacarest country houses and through the established pine
forest back to the car. Tapas at Paco´s bar in Sella´s main square
- simple but expertly prepared for you by Mª Amparo, Paco´s wife. |
Sunday Day 5
Free day
The beach will still be an excellent option and we can
do lifts - the Tram from La Villajoiosa goes to Alicante city or North do
Denia - again, we can do lifts. Another Evening meal at Isa and Toni´s restaurant in the village - a real treat.
Monday Day 6
-
The Font de L´Arbre circuit. A drive to the top of the ridge - El Port de
Tudons, over 1000 meters, and onwards the other side along a mountain
track to the spring known as the Font (spring) de LÁrbre ( of the Tree).
There´s a fine circuit here with the possibility of a brief scramble up
through the Passet de la Rabosa - Fox pass, just about wide enough for a
fox to squeeze through - and out onto the ridge.
Picnic lunch (with barbecue if fire regs. permit)
at the Font de L´Arbre - a beautifully isolated rural setting.!
Tuesday Day 7
(walk
about 3.5 hours)
We´ll drive up past the village to the Tagarina Valley where we´ll follow
one of several tracks up to and along the Sella mountain ridge. It´s easy
to moderate

mountains and across to the Mediterranean. Picnic lunch on the mountain
ridge and a last big
evening meal on the CasaRoc terrace.
Wednesday Day 8
L.ight lunch, last walk round the village, return to the airport.
