Meeting Day/Time: To be advised by email to group members
The ‘Sunday Morning Strollers’ meet many (but not all) Sunday mornings at 9.50 am for 10.00 am departure, at Convent Square (Placa/Placeta del Convent) in the town.
Walks are about 3.5 Km (5-6,000 steps) on flat ground (road or good paths), through the beautiful Orange Groves below the town. They take the form of a friendly, social walk-and-talk that concludes with a coffee and chat at a cafe in Convent Square.
The pace is that of the slowest person. Other (hilly) walks in the town are organised from time to time to coincide with local fiestas.
Wear walking shoes or trainers. Bring water and a sun hat.
