I had to retrace my steps from the other day for three kilometers until I could join the GR-7 again. The day was spent walking north through ravines covered with boulders and later the path climbed out of the low terrain and went up to a plain.

I stuck to my plan when I reached the crossroads at Tintoreto, where GR-7 continues out into the wilderness, and instead followed the tarmac road until I found a track at a fork sign-posted Enguera. With a pragmatic mindset you could argue that from that moment I was breaking new ground and was in the process of creating My Own GR-7.

I went into Enguera and had supper in a restaurant at the village square where I also asked some people for a hotel and they sent me off along the main road north. After a few kilometers I found a very good motel. I had a swim in the outdoor pool and then watched World Cup football on the television for a while in the bar.
