Femes to Playa de Queimada

After a buffet breakfast, the group left for its first hike at 9.00. We went by mini-bus to Femes, a small village at the base of the southern mountains. The hike took us on a well-marked trail through the lunar, remote landscape of the Ajaches hills, down to a cove for lunch, and back up a hill before descending to the coast at Playa de Queimada for a drink, before driving back to the aparthotel.
The weather was hazy but hot at 29 degrees.
The 10km walk of 20,000 steps had a total ascent of 350 metres and a descent of 650 metres.
The group went for dinner at a nearby restaurant which was in an area of tourist shops and restaurants in front of lots of white-washed apartments. The restaurants had very similar menus in Spanish, German and English.
The group was Chris and Sue, Gill, Peter, Pavel, Caroline, Antonia, Jane, myself, and Gaby, the leader.Read more
