A charity walk through Jimena, next Saturday

JIMENA Here is an easy and fascinating way to do some good. Next Saturday, the walkers' group, Caminete de Luna, is organizing a walk through the history and patrimony of Jimena, in and around the village. We will be gathering at the main square, Plaza de la Constitución, at 7pm on Saturday, June 1. Registration, tickets, or whatever, are only €2, which will be given entirely to the local handicapped charity La Estrella. This will be bringing together a good many people, so here's a chance to meet new friends. (Note: Anyone willing to organise a charity sponsored walk for La Estrella and/or J.A.W.S.?)

Jimena's next outing is to Garganta El Huevo

The Asociación Deportiva Cultural Caminete de Luna, it's official title, though perhaps more easily known as los senderistas (sendero = path, so senderista = path walkers) and with whom we walked to Laja Alta last month (see photos below), are planning this month's trek to Garganta El Huevo (photo by Tobi Quirós), due to take place next Saturday, November 6. We gather at the Los Alcornocales campsite at 8.30am, from where we take cars (organize yourselves so there aren't too many vehicles) to La Vegueta La Negra (14Km), where we start the walk. This is about 10Kms there and back, with 2.5 softly uphill, and 2.5 downhill until we get to the garganta (a narrow passage in rivers, mountains, etc.). Reverse on the way back (natch!).  More important info below>
