IX Marcha for Caminos

If you go back to the first entry of this blog in April 2007, it was the VII Marcha por Caminos de Torre del Compte. At this time last year, you can see details of the VIII Marcha. This year we have just had a holiday for St George's day, on Thursday, and this was followed by a "puente" or "bridging day", a holiday on Friday, to make it a long weekend.

The weather has been changeable, sunny and very warm recently but today has been cold, generally overcast and windy, fine for walking but a bit chilly for the meal outside in the Plaza Mayor.


The walk was approximately 16 kms and took in the area to the north and east of the village...

...with some great views over the countryside.

The meal was the traditional fideuá, (similar to paella with seafood and pieces of rabbit and chicken but with pasta instead of rice) and was cooked in the usual way in the Plaza.


It was the only time over 380 people made so little sound!

And so with this weekend with 2 extra days holiday behind us, we now have to wait for the next long weekend until next weekend with Friday, 1st May being a public holiday.
