RV Location: From the Hondón Valley, take the CV 845 towards Aspe and as you leave Hondón de las Nieves and climb up the hill towards the Holcim quarry take the left turn onto a minor road in front of the quarry entrance, see arrow on photo below.
Proceed 2.7Km along this minor road, passing several picnic areas and you will see a parking and picnic area sign, almost opposite a road joining from the left. The car park will be on your right just around the bend to the right in front of you.
From Aspe or La Romana take the turn off the Aspe La Romana road, the CV 846, that is just outside Aspe and is sign posted “Hondón de las Nieves 7” and also has an orange sign for the Polideportivo.
Proceed 2.7 Km along this road and you will see the parking area on your left.
(The RV is at: N: 38.327812°W: -0.812480° for those of you using Sat Navs)
Lunch: No lunch is planned, but take change for your coffee etc. at the coffee stop.
Walk Description: This is an out and back walk with a small loop on the edge of Aspe. From the car park we will follow the route of the dry river, sometimes on a good track along the river bed and sometimes on metalled roads along the river bank. The going is easy with no steep climbs and those that we have are only from the river bed to the road and vice versa. Just after the half way point, when we will be in Aspe, we will take a break in or near the “Ya” coffee shop. From there we will go down the hill and back to return on the same route.
Special Notes:
Equipment: No special equipment or footwear needed; but no high heels or strappy sandals please! As ever, please carry your own water supply and First Aid Kit; also, if appropriate protective clothing. I shall be using a walking poll just in case my back plays up, but sticks aren’t really needed on this walk.
Dogs: This walk is suitable for well behaved dogs under owner control.
Other: For newcomers, please be prompt as we don’t wait unless we have had a phone call to tell us that you are less than 5 min away!
