MOUNT PONOCH

Good evening readers!! 

Today I'm going to show you a fantastic route to enjoy these Easter days with your family and friends. I'm talking about Mount Ponoch, in Polop. 

To start the route you have to go to Sueño Kiosco Bar, near Polop (to found how to arrive from your address click here).

Once you're at Sueño Kiosco Bar, you'll see an information poster with the route you'll follow, the signals you have to follow are the yellow and white ones on the trees, rocks... which indicates that this track is a small travel. 

The difficulty of the route is easy because it has a small ramp until you start since you reach the top.

The complete route will take you 5 hours and a half, but it depends the stops you want to have. I recommended wearing boots, cap, sunglasses, camera, a bag with water and some food like nuts, energy bars... Even though there are some water points during the track. 

When you reach the top of the mountain you will see a view like this:

CAMELBAK HYDROBAK 2015

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!!

ALGAR WATERFALLS

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.
