Walk Description

At the time of writing this guide, road names are a scarce commodity in Jesús Pobre. The names used in the description below are the same as those used on the accompanying map. It is anybody’s guess what the real names are!!!!!!!

After parking walk to the right of the apartment buildings and past the Riu Rau market building on the right, cross the road and walk diagonally left up the hill.

You will reach a plaza, Placa del Poble. Go to the end and turn left into Carrer Major.

Walk up Carrer Major. Further on there is an old well on the right. The road continues and leaves the town and heads downhill in the campo.

As it leaves the town the road changes its name to Cami Bisserot. There seem to be a number of roads in this area with this name! As you leave the town, ignore the road on the right called Bisserot!!!

Go down the first part of the hill and soon you will see a white house on the left, very close to the road. You have a choice here.Choice 1: Stay on the main road

Go past the white house staying on the main road.

You will quickly come to a junction with a blue house with fish painted on it.

Turn left here and follow the road down a steep hill. You will pass some nice old houses on the right.

Halfway down there is a turning off to the right, ignore this and stay on the main road. Both routes arrive at a T-junction where you will see the railway line 50m in front of you. The road you are joining (Cami Real) runs parallel with the railway line. Turn left at this T-junction..Choice 2: Divert through the country lanes

(Dotted route on map). Immediately before the white house, there is a concrete path to the left going down a very steep hill.

Follow this to the bottom where the path turns right into a quiet country lane. [This route may be wet after rain.]Choices 1 & 2

Both routes arrive at a T-junction where you will see the railway line 50m in front of you. The road you are joining (Cami Real) runs parallel with the railway line. Turn left at this T-junction.

With the railway line on your right, follow the road until you see the pigeon farm on your left and a bridge over the railway on your right.

Do not cross the bridge but go left up the rocky track, passing the pigeon farm on your left.

The lane bends slightly to the right and then, when it turns sharp left take the roughly concreted track uphill and NOT the farm track straight on, After about 25 metres take the narrow path straight ahead. There are whitepainted arrows on rocks to follow. [Do not follow the rough road as it continues uphill and left at this stage]

The path is narrow with a dirt and occasional rock surface. It meanders along with views of the house on the hillto the left and views to the right. Ignore any narrower paths to the right and left.

The path dog-legs right and left (ignore the concrete path to the right) and continues until it reaches a tarmac road. Turn right here.

You will pass a road joining from the right, continue straight on, then the road bends to the left

Follow your road until you reach the junction at the cemetery.

Turn left down Cami del Cementeri with the Cementeri to your right.

After passing a house with an impressive gate the road turns sharp left (looks a bit like a T-junction). Notice that you are following the cycle route. It then bends around to the right.

Carry on up a slight incline until you reach another sort of T-junction. Turn left (continuing to following the cycle route) around a quaint old summer house(?) which forms the corner building.

Almost immediately the road then turns right. You will see a “Quatre Canons” sign high up on the brick wall as you turn right.

The road passes three/four houses and then turns right yet again. Notice the “blue steps” on your left as you round the bend. You are on Carrer Del Baix (no signs to that effect?)

Follow the road past some more houses on both sides and then the road turns left and then left again before turning right.

The road passes a new house on the left and approaches some new housesapartments (on the right). Just before the apartments, turn right into Carrer Pinaret (former carrer Dalt).

Carrer Pinaret is a long straight road leading back to your car

Walk Description

Walk towards Calle Lago Como, this is continue from where you came with the car. Turn left and walk to the junction of carrer lago aral and cami de la sabatera.

Continue here on Cami de la Sabatera. which is a narrow tarmac road that goes downhill. You need to be aware of traffic, although the road isn’t busy. The gradient eases off after ½ km, and although there are one or two house it is mostly fields on either side of the road.

After ¾ km (from Aral), as you approach some houses (ahead, slightly right), you need to look for a narrow dirt path on your left. [The road bends slightly right at the point where the path is and there is another path, to theright, almost opposite, going towards a house with arches.] Turn left, ignoring the side track to the right, and walk down this narrow straight dirt path.

This path has fields on either side, passes a couple of ruined small casitas and the golf club is visible across the fields to the right after a while. You are now walking along Lago Eire, which eventually passes a house as itbecomes a road. Walk on to the crossroads with Lago Saimaa.

At the crossroads, go straight across and take the second path on the right into the woods. [There are two tracks running through these woods both parallel to Calle Lago Saimaa and both emerge at the same point.Your choice, but the second one is considered nicer.]

Walk through the woods, with an open area sometimes on the left . At the end, turn right and shortly (20m) you will reach a T-junction with Lago Saimaa. Turn left onto this very wide road, and around the bend

Walk down Calle Lago Saimaa towards the T-junction with Ladoga. Turn left and follow the tarmac road. Continue straight on when the tarmac gives way to gravel/dirt.

Just before the gravel road reaches the main Cansalades road, there is a turning on the left, Calle de Lago Aral.Turn left here into Lago Aral.

80m later, Lago Aral turns left off the tarmac onto a rough wide track. Lago Aral dog-legs right, left and right again up a slight hill, before it goes into the edge of a wooded area. There are views to your right of the northside of Cumbre del Sol and all the boxy houses built there.

The wooded area on the left ends and the track goes alongside a wooded area on the right. After passing a wide track on the left going to a house (Lago Baljash on the map), our track enters another wooded area.

Just before the end of the wooded area is a short track on the left. Go up this track, walk round the chain and turn right towards the road. You are now on Lago Yojoa. You will pass houses on both sides.

When Lago Yojoa turns left, you should turn right onto a wide but rough track going downhill to start with and then uphill to pass between two stable ar eas normally stocked with many horses.

This track bears right before it meets Lago Aral again at a T-junction. Turn left here.

As you walk along Lago Aral there are great views of Montgó in the distance to your left until the track enters another wooded area. The track is rough and uneven here.

When Lago Balatón joins Lago Aral (from right) then the track becomes a tarmac road. Stay on Lago Aral as it passes houses on both sides, climbing the hill until reaching a sort of crossroads.

Turn right into Calle Lago Como which is a tarmac road. Walk up till the next road on the left. Turn left into CALLE LAGO TANGANYKA where your car is parked

Because we are increasingly finding it more difficult to find good speakers willing to spend hours researching their subject and then presenting it to our members we must, very occasionally, repeat and old talk. This time it is one which was presented eight years ago – although it is considerable modified from the original.

So, this talk is The History of the Automobile and it is entirely non-technical so it will, hopefully, interest everyone.

It will cover from the oldest car which is still in full running order today, to the proposed designs of the future. It will also include some of the strangest vehicles ever produced to those popular vehicles from the 50’s and 60’s which will hold so many happy memories for many of our members.

The script is drawn from the testimonies of the platoon members and is presented in real time.

Walk Description

1.Walk to the open end of the cul-de-sac and turn right onto the CV715. At Tramonti Restaurant, turn right again and walk down this quiet country lane. There are fields and orchards on both sides. At the bottom of the road, where there is a small barranc on the LHS, the road curves sharply to the right and starts to rise steeply.

Continue around the bend and follow the road to another sharp bend, this time to the left. Ignore all side roads/tracks. As you curve around to the left, the road again rises steeply.

As the road levels out, look to the left to view the plana below and hills of Col de Rates beyond. There is also a great views of Parcent behind you.

The road now bends to the right and then descends to a T-Junction. Turn right and go uphill.

To your left there are great views to the north towards Murla and the mountains of Caballo Verde.

The road continues to climb until it reaches a very sharp bend to the left. Ignore the small track straight ahead and turn sharp left to stay on the tarmac road (Via Pista).

After a short distanced Via Pista turns right and rises steeply. At this point there is a concrete road straight ahead going downhill. Here you have a choice.Shortcut. (Saves approx 30 mins)

Turn right to stay on Via Pista and go up the hill. Ignore any side turnings. The road then starts todescend.

As you pass a house on either side, Via Pista turns right as The Old Orba Road joins from the left.Turn right here. Go to step .Full Walk

Take the concrete road downhill.

Follow this road as it meanders between the fields until you reach a T-Junction with a gravel track. Turn right here and the track is straight for a while. Then the track wriggles left and right as it crosses a stream. It then starts to rise. There are lots of fields and orchards to the left.

Eventually this pleasant route reaches a T-Junction with The Old Orba Road. Turn right here. In 50m you will join Via Pista as it rounds a bend. Go straight on.

Walk down Via Pista to the main Benidorm-Pego road, CV715. Carefully crossover and into the road opposite, Carrer del Ravel.

Turn right and follow the road around to the left to pass an old wash house. Go straight on past the wash house, around some bends to reach a road bridge crossing a wide barranc. Carrer del Ravel then turns sharp left to go up a very steep hill. This leads to the top of the town.

There are many way to get from the top of the town back to the bottom where your car is located. Here are some ideas!

Near the top of Ravel, there is a sharp turning on the right. Take this and follow the road around to the left.

At the next junction eithera) go straight on down Carrer del Garrofer (dotted route on map)b) or turn right and then left to go down Av Constitucio, turning right in front of the SocialCentre.

La Malinche and the fall of the Aztec Empire: Heroine or Traitor?
2026-01-26 10:30 - 11:30 | Salón de Actos, Espai La Senieta, Ctra. Moraira a Calpe, 8, Moraira, Alicante, 03724, Spain
In the early 16th century Hernán Cortés and his conquistadors defeated the great Aztec Empire, built a new city for colonists from Spain and took control of vast lands stretching from today’s south-western U.S. down through most of Central America. A story not often told, however, is that one of the reasons for the success of this conquest was the invaluable help of a woman, Princess Malinalli, known today as La Malinche. Born around 1500 to nobleparents, after the death of her father and re-marriage of her mother, she was sold into slavery to Mayan traders who in turn sold her to the Spanish invaders. Her facility with languages brought her to the attention of Cortés, who used her as a translator and confidante. She was known to the Spanish as Doña Marina and was the mother of Cortés’ first son, Martin. La Malinche is often described as the embodiment of a new culture, one in which the mixing of races, Spanish and Aztec, created a new world. This view is not shared by all Mexicans, however. For some, La Malinche is the symbol of a great betrayal that led to the death of millions of her fellow indigenous people.

Path to the Windmills is quite rocky.Ascent Mostly flat. Modest hills.Directions to Meeting PointFrom 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. The Amanecer restaurant will come into view on your right after approximately 300 meters. 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. The Amanecer restaurant will come into view on your right after approximately 300 meters.

Walk Description

From Amancera Restaurant walk left back towards the Javea–Denia road and then take the first turning on the right along a gravel road. Continue on this road.

The road bears right at a ruined finca and very shortly after this bend (~2 metres) there is a dirt/mud path on the left. Turn left onto the dirt path and walk alongside the ruin.

Follow the dirt path until it emerges to join the track Cova Tallada (unmarked). Turn sharp left into Cova Tallada and follow it all the way back to the main road, passing the basura/bins.

At the main road, cross straight over into Cami dels Molins and keep walking straight on.

Continue past Cami de Creuat (on the left) and follow Cami dels Molins up a hill. Before reaching the top there is a small path to the right that leads to three windmills. Take this path to visit the windmills. Great opportunities for photos here. Afterwards re-trace your route to the road and turn right..

A little further on, the road bends around to the left and provides fine views of Jávea.

Go past the trees blocking the view and as the road starts to bend left, there is a path to the right which leads over the rocks, down and then up to the Windmills. It is signposted to the “Mirador Els Molins”. Follow this path.

The path is rough to start with as it descends and care is needed but gets better as it rises. Walk up to the level of the windmills and enjoy the view of the Jávea area.

Continue on behind the Windmills following the path past all these windmills to the small car park at the entrance.

Here you will join Cami del Monastir which leads to the Monasterio. Ignore the turning to the right (Carrer Penáguila) and continue down the tree lined dusty lane.

Near the bottom you will see the wall of the Monasterio, seemingly blocking the lane.

When you get about 100 metres before the “wall”, there is a narrow path off to the left. It has old low stone walls on both sides. [If you reach the “wall” then you have missed the turning]. Turn left onto this path and follow it towards the house in the distance. It will dog-leg around the house and eventually join Cami de Pedres.

Turn left here and then immediately right down Cami de Creuat. It dog-legs left and right before it appears to bend to the left again. Do not turn left but continue on the track straight ahead (still Cami de Creuat). Soon you will reach a T-junction.

In a masterpiece of town planning and urban control, someone has built a house right across the route of Cami de Creuat. Luckily, there is a path to the left which skirts this folly. So turn left at this T junction, the path then turns right and runs alongside the offending house.

Notice the white dome shaped igloo-like building in the trees on the left. The path then turns right and left to rejoin Cami de Creuat. Walk down Cami de Creuat away from “that house”.

At the T-junction, turn right into Cami dels Molins. Walk back to the main road Ctra del Cap de Sant Antoni and turn right return the short distance to the Amanecer restaurant.

At the next traffic lights turn right up the hill to Cumbre.From Jávea:Go to Benitachell and turn left at traffic lights after Mas y Mas. Follow road up the long hill.After the sharp right hand bend at the top, go down the hill, past the information centre on the right, U-turn and pass the other information centre and immediately turn sharp right into the side road behind the centre. Park here.

Walk Description

Walk up the slight hill away from the cars.

At the end of this road, turn left and then left again.

After 20 metres, take the track to the right. Go under/over/around the chained entrance to the Park. 50 metres down this track, it turns sharply to the right.

The track is concreted as it bends to descend the hill. Eventually it will become a better gravel path.

Follow this track “Travesia Sud de Parc” for about 2 kilometres enjoying the views. There are no paths or tracks joining your route on this section. There is a deep valley to your right.

Eventually the track reaches a viewing point that overlooks Granadella playa to the front and right (although you cannot see the actual beach). There is even a stone bench here.

The track turns sharp left at this point and then becomes a concrete road just before it descends steeply to the barranca below.

At this stage you have a choice.Choice 1 (to avoid the main hills)

The path ahead is very steep down to the barranc and then back up again, followed by a steep ascent later on. If you don’t want to do this, then you can turn around and retrace your footsteps back to the car. The views on the return include those awful terraces of apartments near the top of Cumbre, so you might need dark sunglasses.

You will have to climb the steep hill back to the Park entrance. When you reach a T-junction with a tarmac road, turn left, then right and right again to return to the Info Centre.Choice 2 ( Full walk)

To continue on, descend to the bottom of the (normally dry) barranc via “Deep Gorge Cami”. The concrete surface has small stones scattered about so care is needed.

Turn sharp left to continue on up the “Deep Gorge Cami” concrete road back up the other side. This is a verysteep descent and ascent, but taken slowly (10 mins total), it is not difficult.

Once you have regained the altitude you lost on the descent, the road changes back into a track. Follow it until it joins another track at a T-junction.

Follow the “Travesia Nord de Parc” track across a level area before it starts another ascent up a long steep concrete hill (well mostly concrete, but the higher parts are rough and rocky!).

This will level out and lead you across a picturesque part of the park with views to the sea on your left and toMontgo on your right.

Eventually the track will lead to another chained entrance as you leave the Park and reach a parking area.Just before the main road (~20 metres) there is a dirt path to the left that cuts the corner and emerges onto the main road [If you cannot find the path then continue straight on].

When you reach the main road, turn left and walk down the slight hill back to the Info Centre on the right.

Whether you are re-vamping your kitchen or searching for small decorative items, then Ikea is the place to visit. You will also be able to recharge your batteries by visiting the Ikea restaurant. The restaurant is open all day long whether it be for a cup of coffee, a satisfying salad or, of course, a plate of your favourite meatballs.
