Last week a group of 12 friends, all members of the Torrevieja U3A, drove up to Altea for a 4 day break where everybody had a great time, walking, talking and taking in the beautiful scenery of nearby Altea as well as Calpe and Benidorm. The full board hotel hospitality and a few days of long awaited sunshine improved the time spent there.

The Torrevieja U3A walking group leaders, together with a few other members, recently undertook a recce for a couple of possible group walks. One was up to the Orihuela Cross and the official walk for this will be taking place on Saturday 28th April. The other recce was up and along the ridge at Torremendo. The official date for this walk is still to be decided

The views on both these walks were terrific and with a good pair of boots and a brave heart, members can enjoy some of the best scenery in the area.

If you would like to apply to participate in these type of walks, then visit the website torreviejau3a.org for further details. Apply to join the U3A. Membership application is a simple process and membership is only €5 pa, a bargain price for a wide variety of activities.
