Trail Reviews
We used the last day of our vacation to go for a swim in a pretty bay. But first we walked along Cami de Cavalls No. 18 to the pretty apartment town of Binibequer Vell. This small white tourist magnet must be very crowded in summer. We didn't stay long, walked a few more steps and returned to the car. On the way there we saw the small bay of Binidali. We returned there and enjoyed a last swim in the turquoise blue sea.
Today the sea was a bit choppy. A force 5 wind from the sea pushed the waves against the rocks. It was wonderful to smell and breathe this moist air. It also made the 27 degrees bearable. The Cami de Cavalls largely follows the shore road on this stretch. I tried out a few footpaths to get a bit closer to the sea.
