Join us for a fabulous day out to La Zenia Boulevard!

Thursday 9th April 2026Get ready for a super day out packed with shopping, food, and great company.

Carole and Paul Clark from the Moraira U3A Travel Team warmly invite you to come along on a fun-filled shopping escape to the ever-popular La Zenia Boulevard, near Orihuela — the largest and liveliest shopping Centre on the Costa Blanca.

We’ll meet at La Senieta in Moraira at 08:30, boarding our comfortable coach for an 08:45 prompt departure. There will likely be a comfort stop en route, and we expect to arrive at around 10:45 — perfectly timed for a relaxed coffee before diving into the fun.

Shop till you drop (or browse at your leisure!)La Zenia Boulevard is a shopper’s paradise, with something for every taste and budget. Browse bright, spacious stores featuring well-known brands such as Zara, H&M, Primark, Massimo Dutti, Mango, and many more. You’ll also find footwear favourites like Geox and Deichmann, sparkling accessories from Pandora and Swarovski, plus charming local designer boutiques.

Looking for electronics, cosmetics, or homeware? You’ll find excellent specialist stores, frequent promotions, and tempting seasonal sales — all backed by friendly, multilingual staff. Keep an eye out for unique handmade items from local artisans, perfect for souvenirs and special gifts.

Time to refuelWhen it’s time for lunch, the Boulevard’s vibrant dining area offers an impressive choice of Spanish and international cuisine. From tapas, paella, and fresh seafood to pizza, pasta, and quick bites — there’s something for everyone. Familiar favourites like 100 Montaditos, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, and McDonald’s are also on hand, along with ice-cream parlours, bakeries, and cosy cafés for coffee and cake.

Many restaurants have sunny terraces overlooking the central squares, creating a relaxed and sociable atmosphere — ideal for unwinding and watching the world go by.

More than just shoppingSince opening in 2012, La Zenia Boulevard has grown into a buzzing destination with cultural events, tastings, and seasonal activities that attract visitors of all ages.

Homeward boundAfter a successful day of shopping, lunch, and laughs, we’ll head back to the coach at around 4:30 pm for a smooth, comfortable journey back to La Senieta, Moraira.

Cost: just €18 per personThis trip is always popular and usually sells out quickly, so don’t miss your chance.

When reaching Gata, after the sharp S-bend , take the next road to the left, carrer sant Josep, over the bridge of the river. Drive the road to the end until the T-junction with Via Pista. Turn left.50m up the road there is a gravelled parking area to the right (the school is on the left).Park here.

Walk Description

Walk up the tarmac road, via Pista. After about 250m you reach a Y- junction. Take the right road.

Follow this road for 700m. You reach a junction with a tarmac road to the left. Take this road left.

After 200m uphill on the tarmac you reach a Water Works building on the right. Continue past here across the open space and up the gravel track.

The track now winds though the bushes and fields. You will reach another junction, a dirt track to the left and a rocky track to the right that goes uphill through the woods. Take the track to the right that goes through the woods. The track is 2m wide and you pass a dew pond in an open space to your right.

You will reach another junction. Ignore the track to the left and continue on the wider track slightly right.

This track narrows and becomes a single track uphill before reaching a right and left zig-zag up two terraces. Care is required here.

After the zig-zag follow the narrow uphill path to the road and turn left. The road is fairly level and has great views to the sea.

Option 1 – walking time 1hr 10min:

The road goes now downhill, ignore any sideroads, eventually you pass the Gata Areoclub , then the ecopark.

You pass the Y-junction where you left. Continue right downhill until you reach the parking.

Option 2 – walking time 1h 30min:

The road now goes downhill. Before reaching the Gata Aeroclub (can be seen in the distance to your front left) you reach a Y junction and join a tarmac road. Take the road to the right. The road winds downhill for 500m or so and levels out before a sharp bend to the right. There are villas around this area. On the left at the start of the bend is a gravel track (Via Senda). Take this track.

As the track approaches the road bridge over the gorge it divides – take the right hand track downhill and under the bridge and then bear left onto the paved promenade.

Continue along the promenade taking the lower path overlooking the gorge on the right. Eventually this path reaches the road.

Walk along this road, over the crossroads to the ‘T’ junction at the end, and turn left up the hill and return to the parking.

Strong walking shoes or boots are essential on this route.

(Ascent 105m).Directions to Meeting PointFrom Moraira: Drive through Benitachell towards Javea. Pass the football field on the right and take the first road to the right CV-747 towards Javea arenal. Pass the roundabout, go straight and follow the road until it bends to the right. At this point turn left into Lago Como. do not take the road immediately alongside the restaurant. Parking near the mailboxes..From Jávea: At Barclays Bank, take the road towards Benitachell up the hill. 600 metres after passing the Inn on the Green bowls club, the road bends left at the old El Campo restaurant. There are two roads on the right hand side as the road bends left. Take the second of these two roads; do not take the road immediately alongside the restaurant. Parking near the mailboxes.

Walk Description

Walk up the hill of Calle del Lago Como following it round to the left and right. Do NOT take the next turning on the left (Lago Como) but continue straight on up the hill into Lago Cinebra.

Follow it around to the right and then take the first turning on the left, Calle Lago Vanern.

The road wiggles as it joins Lago Tanganyka, keep going straight on. At the T-junction with Cami de Sabatera, turn left, and, at the crossroads, turn right to stay on Cami de Sabatera.

Cami de Sabatera can be busy at times, so beware. After a short distance (approx 130m), just before some trees, there is a dirt path on the left going across some fields towards a wooded area. [If you reach a chain entrance on Sabatera then you have gone about 80m too far].

Walk along this straight dirt path, it bends slightly to the right and then enters the trees. Keep going straight until you reach a ruined finca. Turn left at the finca and follow the path through the grass. The path can be difficult to see in the grass, but it goes almost in a straight line.

The path then curves slightly left as it rises and joins a cart track at another ruined finca (on your right). The cart track T-junctions with a rough whitish road where you should turn right into Lago Aral. Notice the magnificent view of Montgó on your right.

When the track approaches some stables, turn left and curve right around the stables (still on Lago Aral). [There are alternative routes marked on the map.] Ignore the turning (Lago Michigan) to the left. Continue along Lago Aral until the track goes into a wooded “tunnel”.

At the other end of the “tunnel”, take the track on the right. This is Calle Lago Baljas (often marked on maps as Baljash). Walk along this track past a new house on the left and then the track becomes a tarmac-ed road. The stables are just visible to the right through the fence.

Walk straight over the next two crossroads (first with Lago Yojoa and then with Lago Saimaa) and into Calle de Lago Eire. This road very quickly becomes a narrow dirt path (ignore the track to the left) and runs along the back of the Jávea Golf Club.

Look for a ruined finca on your left, very close to the path. About 10m after the finca, on your right, is a narrow dirt path leading across the fields. Follow this path in an almost straight line for about 250m. The path then curves to the left through some trees and then out in the open.

It goes along a terrace and then junctions with another path, where you should go up the slope then follow the path as it curves to the left into some more trees. Proceed the ends of the two walls. It emerges into a clearing under some electricity pylons. Go straight across the clearing towards a small wall. There is a path to the left but you should take the path to the right, up a slight slope and left around some small trees. This path runs alongside some trees to your right.

When you reach a junction with another path, turn left and soon you will reach Cami de Sabatera. Turn right and carefully walk the short distance up the hill.

At the top of the hill, go straight across and into Lago Como. This rough track quickly becomes a road as it descends steeply. Go down the hill ignoring the side turnings. Notice the abundance of traffic furniture and zebras grazing on every corner!

Take the last turning on the left (still Lago Como) then turn right to return to the parking area.

After passing the houses the road deteriorates into a narrow track.Ignore a track to the right and continue uphill. The track is steep and rough and you have to duck under three trees that have fallen across the path.

The narrow track continues steeply uphill and reaches a ‘T’ junction. Turn right here. The route is now level with wonderful views towards Javea and the sea.

Having climbed up so far the route descends, and there are two points of descent down the terraces. Care is needed here.

The route winds downhill reaching another fallen tree with another short descent to avoid it.

About 100 metres past the tree there is a junction. Take the path to the left down the hill.

Parking is available on both sides of the road.

Walk Description

Take the road opposite the picnic/children’s park next to “the large black building”. After a short distance turn right at the T-junction and follow the tarmac road down the hill. At approximately 50m the road forks and is sign posted Assegador de Canor, take this left hand fork down the hill.

Continue down the hill until you reach another fork, turn left and go up the steep hill and between a number of houses close to the tarmac road. At this point there are splendid views of the countryside to your left.

At the next T-junction turn right and shortly after the road bends to the left, continue on until you reach another T-junction. Turn left and admire the views of Benissa in the distance.

Follow the flat tarmac road, ignoring all roads to the right. A derelict finca, close to the road and on the left hand side, will come into view. Go past the finca, continue on this road until you reach a metal pylon on your right.

At this point turn right onto Cami Teulera de Canor and follow the tarmac road downhill until you reach a ‘STOP’ sign. Turn left and after a few meters turn left again, the road is signposted to Gata de Gorgos and this runs parallel to the motorway slip road with the old toll booths on your right.

As you turn away from the motorway slip road you will notice a number of mail boxes on your right. Shortly after passing the mail boxes the road forks, take the right fork signposted to Torreta de Canor.

Continue on this tarmac road ignoring the ‘no through road’ on your left. The road bends to the right, goes past a white villa on the right and then becomes a wide gravel and stony track.

After approximately 400 meters the track merges into a tarmac road, take the road straight ahead towards the Pedrera industrial park. Just after the road starts to descend turn right onto a concrete surface and the car parking area.

Hike westward along the wall, passing through towering watchtowers and capturing breathtaking panoramic views.

The trail is moderate, suitable for most fitness levels, including families with children. For the more adventurous, challenge yourself by climbing the Great Man Slope to No. 20 Watchtower,the highest point, offering an even more spectacular vista. After exploring the wonderful sightseeing, hike back to No. 14 Watchtower and descend by the enclosed cable car.

Over 8,000 life-size warriors, horses and chariots, buried in 3 pits for more than 2,000 years until uncovered by a local farmer in 1974, form an ancient military army with complete battle units of infantry, cavalry, etc. Standing in front of these figures, one can’t help being amazed not only by the ambition of Emperor Qin Shihuang but also by the fabulous artistic skills of ancient Chinese artisans.

After lunch, return to Xian to visit Da Cien Temple, a famous Buddhist sutra translation site during the Tang Dynasty. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is the most famous building in the temple. The pagoda, rising to a height of 64.5 meters, was built by the famous Buddhist master Xuanzang to preserve classic scriptures he bought back from India during the early Tang Dynasty.

Built during 707 to 709 AD, the pagoda is 43.4 meters tall with 13 tiers (originally 15 tiers), looking like a very tall rectangular pyramid. An interesting fact about the Small Wild Goose Pagoda is that the pagoda has survived nearly 70 earthquakes, and now still standing firm and sturdy.

At the next T-junction turn right and shortly after the road bends to the left, continue on until you reach another T-junction. Turn left and admire the views of Benissa in the distance.

Follow the flat tarmac road, ignoring all roads to the right. A derelict finca, close to the road and on the left hand side, will come into view. Go past the finca, continue on this road until you reach a metal pylon on your right.

The Treachery of Anthony Blunt (Russian Spy) - How did he hide in Plain Sight for Years?
2026-05-11 10:30 - 11:30 | Salón de Actos, Espai La Senieta, Ctra. Moraira a Calpe, 8, Moraira, Alicante, 03724, Spain
Speaker: Gary Johnson

Anthony Blunt was arguably one of Britain’s most treacherous spies who caused misery and death. In this talk I want to convince you that he was able to hide in plain sight because he was clever, articulate, devious and the British establishment were involved in a massive cover up. You will learn that his treachery was successfully hidden by:

The Cambridge University spy ring he recruited

His senior role in MI5

Connections to the British Royal Family

His considerable influence over politicians & the establishment

This is a powerful story of sex, spies, lies and intrigue that you shouldn’t miss

2026-05-12 09:00 - 10:00 | El Rafalet car park, C. Mar de Noruega, 2, Xàbia, Alicante, 03739, Spain
Walk Leaders: Phil & Debbie

Meeting PointEl Rafalet car park Benitachell road CV740. GPS: 38°45’44.5″N 0°08’52.7″EWalking RouteDistance : 4,3 kmTarraula camis / woods south of the river in the shadow of Tossal GrosTerrainWalking SurfaceMany tarmac roads, some gravel roads and dirt paths. Two short dirt “slopes/gullies” to descend, but can be avoided. Dirt paths and vineyards could be muddy after rain.AscentSome hills. Morante and Tarraula (North) are steep. Tarraula (West) is less steep.Directions to Meeting PointFrom Moraira:Take the road from Moraira to Benitachell . Turn right at the traffic lights and drive to Javea(CV740), pass the golf club. When you passed the golfclub you find the Rafalet parking on the right on the corner of Calle del mar de Noruega.From Javea:Leave Jávea on the CV734 towards Gata. Turn left at the Ferrobox roundabout onto CV740 to Benitachell. Straight over roundabout at Cabanes. Shortly after the stone cross on right, turn left into the large El Rafalet car park on the left on the corner of Calle del mar de Noruega

Walk Description

Note: a number of roads in this area seem to be called Cami de Tarraula! So, in order to avoid confusion, this description, and the map, annotate these roads by their general compass location, i.e. north, west, east etc. Any road signs you might see on the walk itself aren’t as helpful as this!

On leaving your vehicle, take the left hand path out of Rafalet and towards the main Javea – to – Benitachell road (CV740). Turn left at the main road towards Benitachell, after a few meters cross the road opposite a wide concrete path. (be very careful when crossing this busy main road)

After a few meters the concrete slope becomes a wide gravel track. Walk along this gravel track until you see a single dirt track straight ahead. Take this single track, pass a villa on the right, until you reach the Cami Vell Teulada road (bins to your left).

Go straight across Cami Vell Teulada road, turn left and take the Cami Tarraula road. Continue on this tarmac road and take the first turning into Calle Elsa Morante. Follow the road round to the left and under the trees, after this point the road bends left and right as it climbs. Ignore the turning to the left and at the top of the hill take the right hand fork.

After approximately 200 meters the road surface changes from tarmac to gravel. Continue along the gravel road ignoring a dirt track on the left. This gravel road ends on the bend of a tarmac road, junction of Cami de Tarraula and D’Alberto Camus.

Go straight up the tarmac hill (Cami de Tarraula) do not turn right. At the crest of the hill there are houses on both sides and excellent views towards the sea.

Follow the road as it descends, go pass the double track and olive grove on the left. Just after the olive grove turn left, pass a well on your left, and enter a small clearing in a pine wooded area. Walk diagonally across the clearing and you will see the start of a single path through the woods. The direction of the path should be perpendicular to the last tarmac road you were on.

At the end of the wood, bear right and the narrow path drops (2-3 meters) down a dirt slope to a lower terrace (care needed at this point). At the bottom of the slope take the second turning opposite a very small clearing on the right. Walk through a narrow un-kept terrace and overgrown path. At the end of the terrace the path curves left into a well kept vineyard.

Walk carefully along the left hand edge of the vineyard, at the far end a dirt track slopes down into a small almond tree area. After leaving the almond trees take the elevated track to the left.

Follow this double track until you reach a small multi -junction area, take the single track to the right (sharp bend).

Continue on this track, pass the ruined finca and views of the Montgo on your right. Ignore the single track on your left and continue until you reach a short steep slope down (3-4 meters). At the bottom of the slope ignore the track to the right and continue on until you reach a T junction, turn left here. Walk up a slight incline passing a number of houses on the right. Keep straight on, ignoring a gravel path to the left and a tarmac road to your right, until you reach a multi-junction with a tarmac surface.

At this junction you will see a road to the right (Cami Tarradolas) and another straight ahead (Cami de Tossal Gros). Ignore these roads and turn left and descend down Cami de Tarraula passing a small stable on the left hand corner.

Continue down the hill, pass a large stable on your right. The tarmac road takes you through a number of bends with houses on both sides of the road. After passing a tarmac road (Calle Elsa Morante) on your left you reach a T-junction and the Cami Vell Teulada road.

Immediately opposite the road that you are on is a single lane dirt track. Cross the Cami Vell Teulada road and take the single lane track. Walk pass the villa on your left , join the double track, and head towards the main Javea – to – Benitachell road (be very careful when crossing this busy road). Having crossed the road, turn left and then right after a few meters, your vehicle should be ahead.

Walk Description

Walk away from the car parking area up the Cami Vell de Teulada road towards Javea. At the edge of the urbanisation the road dips slightly and bends to the right and then left. Continue up the slight incline and after approximately 100 meters from the apex of the left hand bend you will reach an opening into the woods on your right hand side (a small tree is marked with yellow on the right of the track).

Go down the slight embankment andfollow this single track through the wooded area until you reach a T junction with a villa in front of you. Turn left onto the double stony track and walk up the slight incline until you reach a single track on your right after approximately 100 meters. At this point turn right past the small tree with yellow marking and continue along this track passing a ruined finca on your left. The track bends left at the finca and eventually takes you back to the Cami Vell de Teulada main road via a small steep embankment.

On the main road turn right and continue along until you pass a tarmac road on your left. Immediately after this junction take the single track on the right hand side which goes diagonally back up into the woods. At the top of this track turn right and continue down this old tarmac path, after approximately 300 meters the path becomes a dirt track.

At the location where old tarmac road ends turn sharp left and continue along this narrow dirt path until you reach a T- junction and a wide track, turn right and follow this track round to the left. Just after the bend and to the right you will have great view of Benitachell church and village (providing the weather is good).

Just ahead and on the edge of the tree line turn right down a small embankment onto a lower terrace and then onto a rocky path down the hill. Continue down this rocky path until you reach a tarmac road with views of Javea golf course to the left.

Turn right at the tarmac road and follow this road past the vineyards on your left until you reach the end of the tarmac road and the beginning of a wide track with houses on your left and right. Travel between the houses up this slight incline until you reach the wooded area. At this point take the single track in front of you and into the woods.

Continue up this stony track until you reach a T junction. At this junction take the double track to the left and follow this path until you reach a T junction and tarmac road, just past the high garden wall of a villa on your left.

At the T junction turn left onto carrer Ciceron and continue down this road until you reach a multi junction. Carrer Tito Livio is directly ahead and there is a small road sharp right, ignore both of these roads and take the middle road that is sign posted to Les Fonts.

Continue along this unmarked roadtowards Les Fonts ignoring all roads and tracks to the left and right. Just after the “S” bend turn right at the T- junction with Camino de Liuca (no signpost visible at this point). Continue up and along this road ignoring the turns on the left and right until you reach the Les Fonts car parking area.

From the Costa Blanca coast to the French Camargue offered by U3A Javea
2026-05-20 08:00 - 2026-05-31 17:00 | Alicante
12 days €1,918 per person

The Spanish Culture & Cuisine Group of U3A Javea has a few places available on this trip that are being made available to members of U3A Moraira-Teulada.

From the Costa Blanca Coast to the Camargue in France

Wednesday 20th – Sunday 31st May 2026

This 12-day tour includes visits to various cultural and historical sites in Spain and France. We will learn about the history of tiger nut cultivation, its growing methods, and the process of making artisanal horchata, followed by a tasting; visit the prestigious Caves Byrrh, to see how the vermouth aperitif is produced; and the Simón Coll factory, tasting chocolate with cava! There will be free time in Béziers, one of the oldest cities in France, where the Canal du Midi passes over the river Orb; also to explore Sète, one of the most beautiful fishing and trade ports in the Mediterranean, which is surrounded by the sea, canals and Thau Lake and nicknamed the “Venice of the Languedoc”; and Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our 3-night stay in the port of Sainte Marie la Mer coincides with the Gitan Pilgrimage, which turns this small sleepy seaside town into a noisy carnival with Gypsy music and dancing! A unique experience not found anywhere else. Perhaps the highlight of the tour may be the full day excursion to the Parc Naturel Regional de Camargue, including a boat trip and train ride to enable us to see the beautiful white horses, flamingoes, and bulls in their natural surroundings. Many other sights and visits are included during the tour.

Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson), the vicar for the small English country parish of Little Wallop, is so preoccupied with writing the perfect sermon that he has let his marriage to Gloria (Kristin Scott Thomas) go stale, but fails to realise that his wife is having an affair with her golf instructor Lance (Patrick Swayze). Indeed, he is so detached from his family that his seventeen-year-old daughter Holly’s (Tamsin Egerton) succession of unsuitable boyfriends also goes unnoticed as does his son Petey’s (Toby Parkes) fear of going to school, owing to being bullied. Enter Grace Hawkins (Dame Maggie Smith), the discreet new housekeeper, a sweet grey-haired old lady who has her own way of keeping house – and solving problems!

Walk Leaders: Phil & Debbie

Meeting PointCami Lago Como of cami de les Cansaladas CV-747 before El Campo Restaurant, left in Cami Lago Como near Mailboxes of Las Laderas urb. GPS: 38°45’00.4″N 0°10’08.3″EUse View Venue Website below for precise location.Walking RouteDistance : 4 kmThrough Las Laderas urbanisation into the woods and around the rear of the Jávea Golf club.TerrainWalking SurfaceMostly roads but there are some tracks and paths.AscentMostly flat but starts with a modest climb. Also one long gentle incline later in walk.Directions to Meeting PointFrom Moraira: Drive through Benitachell towards Javea. Pass the football field on the right and take the first road to the right CV-747 towards Javea arenal. Pass the roundabout, go straight and follow the road until it bends to the right. At this point turn left into Lago Como and park near the mail boxes. From Jávea: At Barclays Bank, take the road towards Benitachell up the hill. 600 metres after passing the Inn on the Green bowls club, the road bends left at the old El Campo restaurant. There are two roads on the right hand side as the road bends left. Take the second of these two roads; do not take the road immediately alongside the restaurant. Parking near the mailboxes.

Walk Description

Walk up the hill of Calle del Lago Como following it round to the left and right. Do NOT take the next turning on the left (Lago Como) but continue straight on up the hill into Lago Cinebra.

Follow it around to the right and then take the first turning on the left, Calle Lago Vanern.

The road wiggles as it joins Lago Tanganyka, keep going straight on. At the T-junction with Cami de Sabatera, turn left, and, at the crossroads, turn right to stay on Cami de Sabatera.

Cami de Sabatera can be busy at times, so beware. After a short distance (approx 130m), just before some trees, there is a dirt path on the left going across some fields towards a wooded area. [If you reach a chain entrance on Sabatera then you have gone about 80m too far].

Walk along this straight dirt path, it bends slightly to the right and then enters the trees. Keep going straight until you reach a ruined finca. Turn left at the finca and follow the path through the grass. The path can be difficult to see in the grass, but it goes almost in a straight line.

The path then curves slightly left as it rises and joins a cart track at another ruined finca (on your right). The cart track T-junctions with a rough whitish road where you should turn right into Lago Aral. Notice the magnificent view of Montgó on your right.

When the track approaches some stables, turn left and curve right around the stables (still on Lago Aral). [There are alternative routes marked on the map.] Ignore the turning (Lago Michigan) to the left. Continue along Lago Aral until the track goes into a wooded “tunnel”.

At the other end of the “tunnel”, take the track on the right. This is Calle Lago Baljas (often marked on maps as Baljash). Walk along this track past a new house on the left and then the track becomes a tarmac-ed road. The stables are just visible to the right through the fence.

Walk straight over the next two crossroads (first with Lago Yojoa and then with Lago Saimaa) and into Calle de Lago Eire. This road very quickly becomes a narrow dirt path (ignore the track to the left) and runs along the back of the Jávea Golf Club.

Look for a ruined finca on your left, very close to the path. About 10m after the finca, on your right, is a narrow dirt path leading across the fields. Follow this path in an almost straight line for about 250m. The path then curves to the left through some trees and then out in the open.

It goes along a terrace and then junctions with another path, where you should go up the slope then follow the path as it curves to the left into some more trees. Proceed the ends of the two walls. It emerges into a clearing under some electricity pylons. Go straight across the clearing towards a small wall. There is a path to the left but you should take the path to the right, up a slight slope and left around some small trees. This path runs alongside some trees to your right.

When you reach a junction with another path, turn left and soon you will reach Cami de Sabatera. Turn right and carefully walk the short distance up the hill.

At the top of the hill, go straight across and into Lago Como. This rough track quickly becomes a road as it descends steeply. Go down the hill ignoring the side turnings. Notice the abundance of traffic furniture and zebras grazing on every corner!

Take the last turning on the left (still Lago Como) then turn right to return to the parking area.
