Walking to alcala

[Georgie]

From playa arena beach how long does it take please and is there a foot path along the Atlantic

Only been there by bus or taxi

Any lunch tips and good value there please

[pilgrim]

Georgie, can you let us know when you will be arriving in LG, and how many days you will be staying.
I ask this, as we are looking to book flights tomorrow.

[AWOL]

 Whether you walk or not Alcala will be the same as when you went by bus or taxi. Surely you can remember from the last time.

The distance from LG to the piazza at Alcala will be about 3 1/2  miles. How long it takes is your choice. It's now a smooth concrete path 98% of the way. The last bit over rough ground and then back onto a proper walkway past the beach area. Take your bathers. Nice swimming there in the sea or the pools.

You should get out more. It's been finished for 3 years as it used to be rough track all the way. Surprised you have never walked it seeing you have been coming to LG for 20 years Georgie.

AWOL

Edit. I see you want from the beach. That will be about 2 3/4 miles then.

[Georgie]

Always been posh enough to get a taxi smart person

I was asking about the walk

People who view this website must think you are all horrible

Perhaps you voted brexit to be horrible

[AWOL]

You asked the question and I took time out to give you, I thought, a response (the only one so far) which gave you a heads up on the walk. The least you could do is say thank you not go off at a tangent with some form of naff humour.

If you are so posh why are you asking for good value?

You just dig yourself into a hole. I have learnt quite a bit over the last few years (unlike yourself it would seem) I have been a swollow here and are quite happy and pleased to help if possible.

You from now on can go take a hike (to Alcala as per your original question but you will have to find your own way) as far as I am conerned. I dont need your cr#p.

I will save it for those that are far more in need.

AWOL,
I always find your posts to be very informative and interesting.
A few years ago we had an idiot, on this message board, called 'sebastian'. Eventually he/her disappeared.
'georgie' or 'gerogie' could be the same person.
Don't let him/her wind you up!
Keep posting.

[unhappy]

AWOL, well said some people on this site are just a pain in the ass. it's a pity the site is not used for more informative information and advice.

ps, i hope georgie & pilgrim are very happy together, hopefully they will both be back in the UK when i arrive

Thank you for the information on the alcala walk I have been interested to know  as I have some walking disabilities.

[Mary]

For anyone who hasn’t been to the area for a while,or even as a point of interest AWOL’s post was very informative.
You may struggle when you approach Alcala Lynda, as it’s not an easy way through, we saw an able bodied man last time who had slipped trying to havigate a bit of a climb down and he was covered in blood.
Probably 95% is an easy accessible and very enjoyable walk, but it’s worth bearing in mind the last bit is a challenge.

[AWOL]

Thanks for your supprt.

Linda,

Suggest you go to Alcala by bus and get off at the petrol station by the first round about. Walk down past the Gran Melia Hotel to the coast and walk right to the end past the beaches and cafe and when you get to the end by the rental cottages.that little section is the worst bit. If you can manage that small section you can do the whole bit. If that is not possible then you could cut through the banana plantation (halfway up the road past the hotel) and it joins the concrete path the other end but rough road.

AWOL

[Mary]

I wondered about suggesting that way AWOL but wasn’t sure if it was still ok to go through the banana plantation.  I know originally it was always the way we went but once the new walkway was opened obviously we had no need, and being a wuss decided I didn’t want an irate chap shouting at me !!

[unhappy]

Linda, it is a lovely walk a little easier in the winter than the summer.

[AWOL]

Hi Mary,

Plantation walk not a problem just a bit dustier!,,

Georgie as you go to Alcala by bus and taxi. Any tips please, cost of taxi, where the bus stops, any nice places for lunch please.

[Georgie]

Pete

What a great response to my post

I will let you know what we find shortly


If anyone who hates me on this board I will be in the harbour club around 7 on Thursday

Just look out for the essex boy

[janey]

blimey mate do the harbour club know you have just killed their bar sales for thursday night at 7pm?

[Pete]

Georgie, any tips for the harbour club. Best things on menu, best night for entertainment, price of drinks please.   

[AWOL]

I see georgies close relative has just joined the forum. Spelling and punctuation are similar too as well as askng the same dumb questions. Runs in the family then.

Just a hunch mind you.

Will they both be at the harbour club Thursday?

 I will be in the harbour club around 7 on Thursday

Coincidentally I am also due at the Harbour Club this coming Thursday evening between 6.00pm and 8.00pm for advanced harpoon practice under the guidance of Miss D.Diver - she confirmed she is not bringing a target this week, I wonder why ?

[Georgie]

Your replies are very bullying and also worrying

Perhaps los gigantes is lovely but the people who go there are common and miserable

[angiebabes]

You’ve sussed us all out Georgie at last! We are a total bunch of low life, pick pockets, fighters, murderers, you name it, that’s us.

Now you’ve got the heads up do yourself a favour - join the “Majorca for me” website and get yourself booked over there. Much better people, in fact ideal for you. AND PLEASE GOD - LEAVE US IN PEACE !!!

[AWOL]

AND TAKE PETE WITH YOU.

[Davymar]

Unless I have missed something, I think Pete was just having a wind up with Georgie

[AWOL]

I may need to apologise to Pete but my gut feeling is they are one of the same. They both post using exactly the same grammer. Maybe they had the same teacher?

Awol

[Georgie]

Any news on the walk please

Or is it against essex people

[Pete]

Thanks Davymar, I thought it was obvious I was being ironic

[Pete]

I’ve been coming to LG for around 20 yrs and joined this group to keep up with any goings on when Im back in the UK.
It’s certainly degenerated from a forum with useful info, to a bit of fun for Georgie who obviously gets a kick out of winding people up.
As for the other spammers, I don’t know what they get out of it.
Would it be possible to get back to the real reason for this forum.
Perhaps if no one replied to Georgies posts then he would look elsewhere for his wind ups.

[AWOL]

SORRY PETE

MY MISTAKE

AWOL

and agree lets just get back to helping each other out.
