1 June 2026 – Jalon to Alcalali


19 of us walking today

This included Paul and Kathryn who have been on holiday since 4 May

The weather has been much hotter than normal for this time of year

So I changed the planned walk to this easier one

There is more shade, and I can shorten it if necessary

We had a water stop every half hour

And choose shaded areas for each stop

Jan ensured that I kept the pace down

And everyone reached the ermita without any problem

There is always plenty of shade and even an inside and outside option

Jim could not join the walk, but sent a bag of sweets with Pierre to distribute

Tina’s contribution was her water sprayer, which was very popular

Unusual sight of a rider on foot leading her horse

We had slightly longer than usual for our banana stop to fully recover

Because the return journey is very exposed and expected to be very hot

Most accepted Tina’s offer of a cooling water spray

And we had a cooling breeze for most of the return journey

Mike organised the drinks when we reached Casa Claudia

And Wally joined us for the after walk drink

Another very enjoyable walk, despite the higher temperatures  


Temperature – 26 to 30c

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9km
