[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 883936, member: 50859"] The albergue is good. I have always stayed there alone, but it is a large building supposed to take in groups. Yes, it is the Casa del Peregrino (dedicated to San Juan Bailón). Everything Undermanager writes above is basically correct, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And yes, each and every time I too had to wait for someone to open for me, but usually I am so happy to be on the 1st stage on a Camino that I don't care how much I have to wait for them. The plaza is nice and the bar is in the next building. I would [I]not [/I]move on to Monforte/Novelda, although they are larger towns and, once again, I know that the majority go to Novelda to stay at the very nice albergue. Staying in Orito means that I will pass Monforte and Novelda early in the morning just in time for breakfast...! One problem is that it gets noisy outside, down by the plaza, if it's San Juan or close to it. I once had to move to another bedroom to get away from the windows, and the sound travels far in the broad corridor... The last bar in Alicante is by the cemetery, Bar Los Cipreses, in the outskirts of the outskirts. It's at the very end of the Vial de los Cipreses, when you hit the cemetary and turn left to leave Alicante on the Camino Alcoraya. After that, there is no food or water for about 20 kms until your reach the Cueva de San Pascual (water on the way up the hill, and at the ermita itself) and the bar in Orito. I believe this is correct. Now hold your ensaladilla rusa!! I think I am in the minority. I suspect people don't think highly of Orito: that is why people carry on to Novelda. Orito is a sleepy, dusty summer hamlet that takes 30 seconds to walk through. I don't know if there's a supermercado: I usually survive in the bar. But it is nice to know that breakfast awaits in Monforte (4 kms) and Novelda (8 kms) the next day ☕ 🥳 ! There is no shadow in summer between Alicante and Orito. Before ascending to the Cueva you walk through a desolate, lunar landscape down and up some barrancos. So it's no that flat after all. It's pretty cool: it's "el barranco del Infierno" on the map. 😈 Don't miss the lonely, naked tree where people (pilgrims?) have attached multicolored plastic bottles, corks and stripes. It's the art installation of the day: it is there, all alone, and nowhere else. I'll try to attach some photos of Orito, from my last visit there! EDIT: Stupid photos!! Sorry. I will adjust the resolution next time. [/QUOTE]
