Guadelest - Callosa - Altea - Thanksgiving

A 5 hour walk from Guadelest to (almost) Callosa. My feet ached afterwards but, aside from a little fatigue, I hardly noticed the time. The mountain scenery was amazing and every turn was a new vista. There were very few houses along the way, a few roadside restaurants. We took a break to eat tuna, stale bread, apples and drink a bottle of wine, which was totally worth carrying for 5 hours. I say almost Callosa because we started hitch-hiking just outside of the city. A couple of French expatriates, who live in Altea but have a farm near Guadelest, drove us to Altea. They were a very nice couple who had also been collecting the last of the almond harvest. We hadn't planned on going into Altea but they recommended it and dropped us off downtown, that's where I took these photos. It was Sunday evening, all the supermarkets were closed, and the train to Alicante was leaving in 15 minutes. I bought a 2 euro bottle of wine from the bar accross from the train station and it was my only offering to the incredible Thanksgiving dinner my Canadian friends hosted. I was planning on making egg salad for the first time, but I late enough as it was.
