Cómpeta to Canillas de Albaida

Cómpeta to Canillas de Albaida, 3 km - Hotel Posada La Plaza

This morning's walk was a short stroll between Cómpeta and Canillas de Albaida along an almost level promenade with railings. The path goes through irrigated terraces with avocados, prickly pear, agave, olives, almonds, and even an ostrich or two! We met a friendly man with a horse on our way into the village. He and his companion struck up a conversation with Marie and generously explained various bits of the horse's trappings.

Hotel Posada La Plaza is in an old nunnery right on the square with atmospheric rooms. The school kids below our window are practicing for the Christmas play!

It is supposed to rain here today...but no snow! We have to walk tomorrow in any case. With the Christmas holidays coming up, we've had to make reservations ahead, and so, have to stick to a schedule.Read more
