Walk Description

1. Leave the car park, walking away from the Javea to Gata road and at the T junction turn right down a wide gravel track. Follow this track until it reaches an asphalt road – Camino de les Barranqueres. Turn left here and continue to the ‘T’ junction.
2. At the ‘T’ junction (with Cami Vell de Gata) turn right and then soon left into Calle Mauritania.
3. C/Mauritania snakes uphill passing C/Canada, C/Nueva Zealand and C/Australia. Continue on, and after passing C/de Argelia on the right, turn left into C/Gambia.
4. C/Gambia is a straight asphalted road that eventually turns left. Immediately after the bend turn right into Carrer dels Benimadrocs.
5. Ignore all roads left and right, continue down Carrer dels Benimadrocs past C/Tobago on the right and C/Groenlandia until the tarmac ends. Keep going on the dirt path until you reach a ‘T’ junction. Turn right here along C/de Islandia which is a rough stony path that joins with the asphalted Cami Vell de Pedreguer where you turn left.
6. Walk along Cami Vell de Pedreguer for about 1 Km, crossing a small stream with lots of bamboo until you reach Carrer dels Benimadrocs. This gravel track is on the left immediately after passing a small white house situated directly on the roadside. Turn left here.
7. Follow this gravel road which twists and turns many times before reaching a asphalted road with a couple of houses. This road is Barranc del Migdia (not signed). Walk along here.
8. Barranc del Migdia joins Cami Vell de Gata where you turn left and continue until reaching Cami del Cemetery on the right. Turn right here. The road zig-zags right and left bridging a stream and leads you back to the Cemetery.
