Directions to Meeting Point	From Moraira: Take the road to Benitachell, in the centre of the village turn right at the traffic lights and drive towards Javea on the CV734. Continue on this road passing the golf course and then a garden centre, both on the right. Go straight across the next roundabout and over the narrow road bridge. At the next roundabout turn right pass the Ferrobox store on your right and head towards Javea. On the next roundabout come back on yourself past the Repsol petrol station on your right and after approximately 60 meters turn right into avenida Ondara. At the next roundabout go straight across and keep to the right. Travel up the slight hill until you reach another roundabout, take the second exit to Denia. After approximately 2km of a steep and windy road turn right at the signpost which directs you to the lighthouse. Turn right towards San Antonio lighthouse. Drive to end of road (4kms). Car park is just before lighthouse on the right hand side overlooking port. From Javea: Take the CV7362 route over Mongo from Javea to Denia. Travel up the slight hill until you reach another roundabout, take the second exit to Denia. After approximately 2km of a steep and windy road turn right at the signpost which directs you to the lighthouse. Turn right towards San Antonio lighthouse. Drive to end of road (4kms). Car park is just before lighthouse on the right hand side overlooking port.

1. From the parking area walk down the main road away from the lighthouse. After approximately 100 meters the road bends to the left slightly, at this point take the path on the left hand side of the road.
2. When the path comes back to the main road, cross straight over and pick up another path on the right hand side of the road. This path runs parallel to the main road and away from the lighthouse. After approximately 250 meters the path enters a picnic area (if you can’t find either of these paths stay on the main road until you reach the picnic area on the right).
3. From the picnic area take the wide track which runs between the toilet block on the right and large house on the left. After approximately 750 meters the track bends left and then divides into two tracks. The main track(gravelled) bends to the right but you should take the smaller
   dirth track straight ahead between a meter high stone wall on your left and a concrete electricity pylon on your right. Continue on this path until you reach the main road.
4. Go straight across the main road and take the Calle Cuesta de San Antonio road opposite. This tarmac road curves to the right and passes a number of houses. Where the road turns sharp left take the wide track ahead and go pass the green fence on your left.
5. Continue on the wide track, ignoring any turnings to the left and right, until you reach a T-junction. Turn left to visit the windmills and the great views over Javea. After viewing return to the T-junction and this time carry straight on down the tarmac road away from the windmills.
6. At the bottom of the Cami del Monastir road you will pass the Monestir de Deu dels Angels on your right. Just after this point you will reach the main road again, go straight across into the road opposite (Cami del Quartel).
7. Follow this rough road until you reach the ruins of the Guardia Civil building on your left. Go past the ruins and immediately turn right onto a wide gravel track, ignoring all tracks to the left and right this track will eventually take you back to the picnic area.
8. From the picnic area take the narrow path, which was used at the start of the walk, back to the parking area via the main road.
