Fountain of the Plaza de la Constitución

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

I think this way a little better than the official GR249, because you save a longer piece of forest and instead runs a beautiful single trail. At the bottom, the paths come together again. A very nice piece with great views.

The first ascent is on a public road; the real hiking only starts after the top. Then you walk on the most beautiful hiking trails. The last part of the second descent is somewhat unclear; eventually you will arrive at the bottom of the river again on a frequently used hiking trail. Strenuous hike with beautiful views and absolute tranquility. …

If only the bar in Solares had been open, this would have made a pleasant end to the tour.

Today we had another beautiful and varied walk. We walked from the hotel in Canillas de Albaida to the hidden village of Salares. Lots of climbing and descending, sometimes along exciting precipices (where I had a semi-panic attack at one point 🙈), but I enjoyed it!
