A day spent mostly walking in a valley with fields growing peaches, vines, almonds, and olives.
Shortly before reaching my destination I passed over the border to Valencia and I really wasn’t a bit sorry for leaving Múrcia.
I walked on with good speed passing through Elda ending up in Castalla for the night. The mountain between Elda and Castalla gave me a hard time walking on slowly climbing forest tracks hour after hour.
For the first time I encountered a hotel that was full and I had to continue to a motel a few kilometers further ahead.
