[QUOTE="Undermanager, post: 742508, member: 46206"] Stage 2. Orito to Sax. 33.5km. After a great night's sleep, myself and Klaus the Danish chap left around 7.00am. Today was much cooler than yesterday all day and perfect hiking weather. The nice walk to Montforte del Cid then Novelda took a couple of hours that passed quickly, through lots of vineyards. The local red wine by the way is excellent! We had breakfast in a cafe in Novelda, took a few snaps then moved on. The next couple of hours followed a trail along a wide river bed with a small river in it, all the way to Elda. There's a lot of flowers at the moment and a load of birdsong. Elda is a sprawling town that took well over an hour to pass right through, and we also had a lunch break using a big supermarket we found on the outskirts of the town. At the far end of Elda, there is a steep climb out of the town on a road. I don't think this was the official route but we took the road between Elda and Sax anyway, mainly because we weren't sure if we would have a further three hours walking from Sax and wanted to save a bit of time - there are surprising very few options in this town and the hotel in the guide we already knew was was full from another person who tried to book a room. As it happened, we fell on our feet. We met an Irish expat, who phoned his Irish expat mate, Dennis and his wife, who rent out luxury houses in the mountains. So for €50 between us, we were collected from outside the supermarket where stocked up on dinner and breakfast, driven to a great place 2kms in the hills, very quiet and pretty, have a wonderful bungalow with all mod cons, and a swimming pool, WiFi, bedding, towels, kitchen, welcome beer in the fridge and a basket of cakes on the table! And we'll be driven back in the morning to the castle in Sax. Result. The whole day lasted about 9 hours and I'm knackered. However we have a big tele and Arsenal are playing a Spanish team, so no problems. At the moment, we are outside by the pool, looking down on the castle, red wine in hand. All jobs are done and now it's chill time. Happy days. [/QUOTE]
