A series of three “Sendalhama” rural hikes is being held in the municipality of Alhama de Murcia during the autumn of 2022, the first of them on September 24 in the Valle de Malvarihe.
Participation in this guided walk costs just 3 euros per person (free for under-10s), including guides, travel by coach to the starting point of the walk, insurance and the collaboration of members of the local Protección Civil organization. The price should be paid in cash when setting off from the car park next to the Parque de La Cubana at 17.00.
The walk itself covers a testing 13.3 kilometres and is scheduled to last into the hours of darkness, ending at 21.30. Dinner will be taken en route with each participant bringing his or her own food, the return to Alhama being scheduled for 23.30.
Although the route is not an especially complicated one it is not recommended for those who are not in the habit of walking regularly on unpaved tracks, occasionally with steep slopes. All participants should bring drinking water, a cap, a waterproof jacket, a walking stick, binoculars, a snack and a camera, and it is sensible to take a look at the weather forecast before setting out! A head-torch is also recommended.
Reservations can be made via the tourist office of Alhama de Murcia between Tuesday and Friday from 9.00 to 14.00 and from 17.00 to 20.00, and on Saturdays from 10.00 to 13.00 (telephone 968 633512). No more than 75 people can take part in the event.
On registration participants will be required to state their age, and those registering in person can pay while doing so.
