[QUOTE="filly, post: 1154277, member: 13818"] So a later start today. The Albergue is very good indeed BUT one wall gives on to a squash court of some kind so there was ball noise until about 10 pm. I remember a similar occurrence at a very basic Albergue on the Levante in a Polideportivo… Anyway: microwave, wide beds, good mattresses and pillows, air-con. Hot showers ONLY in one ladies shower! ( nb Laurie… they do vary greatly! Advantage to being alone too!! ) Thanks to all the concern and advice, I decided to make a short day to Alcalá del Júcar. Bar La Plaza just opening as I left at 06.40 with good initial signage. Take care as the fourth or fifth sign is back to front so one just sees a blank metal.. I headed straight rather than going right about 3 kms in. The metal signs soon finish altogether and once again I also missed a sharp left turn. Yellow flowering bushes attracted an extraordinary amount of bees - I have never heard such a sound. There was a difficulty at a water cistern (photo) as the path is unclear and overgrown ( hat and long trousers recommended ). You could follow the edge of the field OR stay on the road until the next agricultural way on the left. You need to take care as the painted signage is worn and there are several alternatives… Then the path is the one initially very near the roadway. Otherwise, a flat day until the end when the hillside hike down is demanding (I have no sticks/poles). The view is spectacular! Many hostals CLOSED so staying at one found on booking.com but rolled up to negotiate a rate of Euros 40 inc picnic breakfast. Steep but no alternative. Lovely double room with balcony (laundry), air-con, wi-fi, great bathroom. Gave me a chance to walk up to the castle, lunch and a riverside swim! So only about 18 kms but am aiming for Villamalea tomorrow. Heat is staggering… and seems set to continue. Four drops of rain in thunderstorm last evening.
