[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 612244, member: 9811"] [B]Otos to Ontinyent[/B] Back down in the valley, through mixed olives, vines and fruit. About halfway is Albaida, which seemed entirely unmemorable, until I was propositioned by a young man in a bar, the first time that's ever happened to me in Spain - the first time it's happened anywhere for more years than I care to remember. I think it may have owed more to the local fiesta and accompanying wine than to my fading charms. Ontinyent is a biggish town built on two sides of a steep river gorge. I stayed in a room above a bar on the way out of town for 22€ en suite, perfectly fine, and much less noisy, I suspect, than central town on a busy Saturday night. It also saved me a km for the longish next day. [B]Ontinyent to La Font de la Figuera[/B] My bar was serving breakfast from 7am, always a bonus on a Sunday morning. There was quite a lot of tarmac over the next 30km, rising steadily through the countryside, with occasional patches through pleasant shady pine woods. Fontanars dels Aforins, after about 20km, is a friendly village built on a grid shape with several bustling bars and restaurants all filling up for Sunday lunch when I arrived. And then more of the same countryside until La Font de la Figuera, where the Camino del Alba flows into the mainstream of the Camino de Levante, and where I slept on the famous concrete bunk beds of its albergue. And so ended my Camino del Alba: six pleasant days, two of them outstanding, no other pilgrims and not a drop of rain. [/QUOTE]
