Raised to the Mondúber

26.05.12
(For the Photo Gallery, click here)
Date: Saturday, May 26, 2012
Meeting place: Torres de Quart
Meeting Time: 8am
Last day for registration: 8pm Friday May 25th (the night before)
The excursion:
Altitude Min /Max: 50/841m
Estimated duration of the excursion: full day
Walking Distance: 19km
Level of difficulty: medium-high
We will be leaving from Simat de la Valldigna, departing from the door of the monastery after a quick coffee in one of the bars in front of the monastery.
The ascent will follow the donkey path (no offence intended!) where we can find remains of the old aqueduct that carried water to the monks, and only the monks! (ordinary people had to climb up to the spring to collect it in person)
Reaching the source of the spring of Cirer, there’ll be a stop to recharge our batteries and enjoy the scenery.
After a climb that will help burn off the calories from our morning snack, we´ll arrive at the cave “de las Malladetes” and from here we will go over the ridge to get to a series of different peaks, such as Àliga, Penyalba and ultimately our goal: Mondúber. During the excursion, we’ll take in the fabulous views of the valleys of Valldigna, of the Drova and the Mediterranean coast.
Later, we will take the opportunity to have lunch at the top of Mondúber where, in spite of the antennas, you can still enjoy the beautiful views over the sea towards Cullera and the area of Montgo.
With a full stomach and a rested spirit, we will begin the descent back to Simat, passing by an ancient area of land torn apart by a dreadful fire, from which some superb pines have survived (fed by hidden underground steams) and along a beautiful ravine leading down to the valley.
Before entering the town, we’ll take the time to visit the shrine of the Xara, which still retains traces of its Islamic past.
The excursion, which has a medium-high level of difficulty, can be a bit easier if you do not go up the Penyalba, the Montduver hole or Drova. Those with a little more energy can follow this route but others may chose to stay and wait if they wish (bearing in mind however, that the track used for the ascent up Motdúver is a fairly easy one and it could be very pleasurable for the group to have lunch together)
As always, we will leave Valencia from the Torres de Quart at 8 h, hopefully arriving at Simat at 9am and after coffee at 9.30 am at the latest, beginning the walk.
Remember to pack and bring:
Good walking shoes.
2 litres of water (the only spring available, at Cirer is drinkable but is at the beginning of the route)
A substantial morning snack and lunch, a hat, an appropriate factor sunscreen for the individual (waterproof just in case) Without forgetting the a good humour and the desire to have fun.
