Created for those who enjoy the beautiful natural environment of the Marina Baixa, whether through walks or by mountain bike. We'll share experiences and try to show the most emblematic places in this attractive region.
Today I will try to explain you briefly what does a "homologated path" means. It is basically a trail which has been approved by a regional or territorial federation. So we could say that it has been accepted and, in theory, safer because it is controllated periodically.
Hi mates! Today we are going to know an a useful application for your smartphones, it is called Wikiloc.
There are a lot of Apps which works similarly than Wikiloc, but we think that this one is the most useful. For this reason I create a power point with basic information of Wikiloc so if you are convinced you just have to download it on your App Store, enjoy the information and share your traks with other users!
Today I'm going to write about this mountain, but only in its climbing facet. Next day I'll show you the routes.
I choose this mountain because is one of the best mountains near La Marina Baixa to go climbing and enjoy a day on the nature. The good thing is the Cabeçó D'Or has all levels, so if you're amateur you can go without problem, but you must know which ones are for more experienced people and which for those without a lot of experience.

So, if you're interested on the routes for climbing on the Cabeçó D'Or you must download this material gived up from Senderos de la roca:
The tittle says perfectly what we are going to talk about in this entry.
I would like to start by saying that this is always very difficult. Nowadays, appearance has a very important influence in all ours decisions and there are a lot of different boots with its own characteristics.
Here we will try help you do not be influenced by this irrelevant things. Appearence must do you choose among boots with similar characteristics (those which you really need) and price.
Today I'm going to talk about a race in which I participated yesterday. This race is called "Corremos Juntos" and it is an initiative of the Inmaculada Jesuitas School of Alicante.
My family and me at the entrance of the school
Two years ago at the same race
The registration for the race is different between adults and children:
Adults: 10 € (registration + T-shirt)
Children (-18 years): 3 € (registration + T-shirt)
All earnings go to Nazaret Foundation, an association which helps children without resources and besides it tries to help children's families and its surroundings.
As is logical, it isn't a competitive race, is just a race to help those children and the more people participate, the biggest profits will be.
Next to the school it's the Serra Grossa, so the organization takes advantage of this situation to use it for the race. The first race (the adults' one) is 9 km length and I have to say that it is a little bit hard, unless for me because I don't use to run at the mountain.
For the children there is organized a race which is 3 km length. They can take part with their parents, and the people who don't use to run can participate in this race without problem, because the aim isn't win anything, the final goal is to help Nazaret and, indirectly, their children.
I encourage all our readers to participate in this type of races, because they are a good option to help the needy people doing physical activity.
Today I'm going to write about my favourite jacket when I go hiking. I bought it four years ago, but it's still new.
This Icepeak jacket is suitable for those days when you start walking early and it's a little bit cold. Later, when the sun rise, you can keep it in your bag easily, because it's flexible.
About its characteristics we must underline:
Shaped and protective back hem.
Tow-way front zipper.
Articulated elbows.
Adjustable hem and sleeve ends.
Zippered pockets.
Material composition: 100% PES melange, mechanical strech + TPU flim + micro fleece
My unique advice is not to buy it in white, because when you go to the mountain you will stain your clothes and the more launds it has, the less result it gives.
You can find similar products on www.icepeak.fi because exactly this one is unlisted right now. But I'm sure other similar products will give the same result.
The good thing is that now, when winter is ending, Icepeak have a lot of sales, so you find good products with low prices.
Today we will talk about a very common accessory in hiking. The stick.
The stick is a long and slim object that helps you to walk. The top has a handle to catch the stick and the bottom has a peak to be nailed into the ground.
There are a lot of camelbak sorts, but I think it would be fine to talk about my own camelbak, which I lended to my brother at his Christmas trip in January.
This kind of bag has one principal advantage, you can carry liquid, for instance water or isotonic, and drink it without take off the bag. For this function, it has a straw which connect the bag with the mouth, allowing you to drink at every moment.
The characteristics about this specific bag: tank with 1,5 litres of capacity, adjustable sashes, a front pocket with zipper, and the possibility of choose between four colours (black, blue, yellow or red).
Finally, I would tell you the price of that fantastic mountain complement: it's only 40,90€!!!
I hope you like it, and I'm sure it will come of to useful on your trips!!
Today we're going to talk about Algar Waterfalls. This beautiul place is only 15 km from Benidorm and 3 km from the center of Callosa d'en Sarrià.
To reach that place we have to go by CV-775 in direction to Callosa d'en Sarrià, and then take CV-/15 direction Bolulla, where we'll see the signal to Algar Waterfalls (Fuentes del Algar in Spanish).
How to arrive (by Diario Información)
The track is 11,48 km length because you have to go and return. Go over this distance will take 3 hours and 45 minutes without stops, but it can be good to stop to enjoy the views and all the hideouts this little paradise has.
The difficulty of the track is not important because is an easy route owing to is all the time by paths, roads... The only thing that can be a little confused is the start of the track, because it isn't marked as a PR, so you have to start walking without a reference, but there is just one option.

Talking about the important things to wear or take, we must underline the importance of wearing an appropiate shoes (mountain boots), trousers (not shorts better because there are some thorny plants), some food, water (there aren't water points during the track), camera...

And if you are going to do this route in summer, it can be a good option to have a quick cooling dip, so you must have a swimsuit and a towel.

In my opinion, if want to do hiking the best season is spring, because in summer it can be too hot to have 4 hours walking.
