Two recent outings by the Walking group took us first on a visit in April to Finca Bonelli's Eagle, a rustic finca in the mountain canyon of Crevillente, offering spectacular views overlooking the El flare mountain. After meeting at Las Palmeras camp-site, the winding narrow roads leading to Finca Bonnellis Eagles were negotiated with care, to be rewarded by a welcome cup of coffee upon arrival. Then, following an exhilarating10km walk through wonderful scenery, the group were welcomed back to refreshments followed by a superb lunch. The eagle parents and chicks were clearly seen on the opposite cliff face.
In May the group scaled the heights to reach The Peñarroya Chimney, a soaring landmark high above the Port of Cartagena. The walk to the towering chimney part of the mining heritage of the area, was begun on a beautiful sunny morning in late May. After the walk refreshments were taken at the beach side bar/restaurant before departing for home.
