Travellers Code of Conduct:
You will be travelling to south eastern Spain where the climate is typically Mediterranean with mild winters and hot, dry summers. During the winter night time temperatures can drop below zero with daytime temperatures of 8 to 12 ºC. September, October and November are the months when semi-tropical storms, with high winds and up to 500 mm rainfall, can occur depending on sea surface temperatures and meteorological conditions. In the event of this we will not be walking and have an alternative itinerary of slide shows and visits to local museums.
Should you wish to buy souvenirs we suggest you buy something from the village such as olive oil, almonds or locally produced spicy sausages. This provides direct benefits to the community and to the environment by supporting those who care for the land.
Water is a scarce resource and to reduce water consumption we recommend you shower rather than bath and use the short flush on toilet cisterns when available.
During the walks we will be advising you on all aspects of the countryside from local customs to good practise but we would like to point out three basics before you arrive. 1. Do not light fires. 2. Stick to the footpath. 3. No scrumping from fruit trees.
