[QUOTE="Donna Sch, post: 707209, member: 33191"] Vallada to Font de la Figuera: We got away early from Vallada and leaving the town was straight forward. We were armed with bocadillos from the albergue which the women made us in lieu of breakfast the night before. Top notch service at that albergue. Definitely recommend them. Lots of burnoffs today in the orchards. We have left orange country and now it is pink blossom time. Some of that is almonds. Moixent - most of the bars are early on in the town. However if you end up walking straight through there is another if you duck off to the right. Bar piscina is on the signs but there was another little one full of locals eating breakfast. Saw road signs for cows but never saw one all day. After Moixent came the hill climbs. Not hideous but I'm glad I use sticks as I'm the type of person who will trip over their own feet. Continued farmland but now more olives and vineyards and ploughed fields. Quite arid with a clay type soil. Lots of huge deserted big houses that would make brilliant albergues. There is a Casa Rural Mas de Montserrat on the Camino between Moixent and Font. River layers too which makes you wonder about the geology of the place as it is quite high up. At Font de la Figuera we picked up the key to the albergue from the local police. I recommend Bar Central which is where you end up waiting for the Police to return from his rounds. Must say the police have a high presence. Much more than at home and I wonder what the crime rates are like here and what types of crime. Good food with no menu del dia in the evening but you can get a damn good sopa with bread and you get the equivalent anyway. The people there are lovely. Our bloody movistar sims are not letting us text or phone so I'm grovelling to people to make caalls for me. At least I have enough written Spanish that I can write down my requests. There is a little supermercado in the plaza open to 9pm. Barrie has asthma and today was guaranteed to stir it up with the trifecta of cold air, exercise and smoke. I get to walk to Almansa tomorrow. He is taking the taxi. Taxi - Pepe, movil 607321422. As there is no easy bus or train despite the train going past the town. The municipal albergue seems to be a little controversial due to the concrete bunk beds. Barrie and I have experience in mental health and corrections. Well, I bet some of our clientele are thinking it is karma. If it is good enough for them, it is good enough for us. I'll enjoy the cosmic joke. You just chuck the mattresses down on the floor. There is a heater because it is cold. Yes, you end up tucked away in your sleeping bag fully clothed. There are powerpoints for recharging gadgets. The rest of the Albergue is basic but well equipped and clean for a donativo. Hey, they even have a rail beside the toilet for stiff sore peregrinos! Last year they had no peregrinos until March and 73 in total. This year we are the third entry in the book. [/QUOTE]
