Sella to Finestrat Road Closed
Map - click to enlargeThe road (CV758) between Finestrat village and the CV770 to Sella has been closed for improvements. We are not sure if this is just a short temporary closure or whether it will last for the duration of the works.
This does NOT affect the normal route up to Sella from the coast (CV770 - Villajoyosa, Orcheta, Sella) so no problems getting to Sella.
Any new information relating to this road closure will be added to this post as it becomes available.

Basin & Book
Today - followed an ancient, but little used path that takes you to a small cave high above the village of Sella. Inside the cave, a natural spring and two stone basins can be seen. There is also a visitors book dating back to 2003 with comments and thoughts etc. of people who have visited this remote place.

That Blessed Dog!
Sunday 17th January 2010 - Erics First Time In Church.
No, Eric has not been 'born again'. However, along with numerous other dogs, several cats and even budgies, he went to the Santa Ana church in Sella to be blessed as part of the anual fiesta of Saint Anthony.

The 3 Kings
Being Epiphany (6th Jan) as is the tradition, the 3 Kings (Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar) arrived in Sella bearing gifts.
Another Sella tradition on this occasion is selecting an original form of transport and this year was no exception - they arrived on three dumper trucks!

ZERO 1408 - the 2010 January Challenge
When we talk about the height of a mountain, we are refering to it's height above sea level so, we came up with the idea of doing just that - a walk from sea level to summit!
2nd January 2010, 07:30 - starting at the coast (zero meters above sea level) and walking to the summit of the mighty Puig Campana mountain (1408 meters above sea level) but of course that was not the finish, as we still had to come back down!
ZERO 1408 The Movie (8 mins)
(best viewed in full screen mode)
"There's no way round it. When it comes to Costa Blanca walking, Puig Campana is The One. Towering over everything else near the coast, its soaring dome fluted with turrets, towers and fanciful crenellations. The ascent looks daunting from a distance (from the south it's the long grey green scar in the middle of the mountain - yes, that one!) and it can get pretty daunting on the ground too." Charles Davis.
Date 2nd Jan 2010
Duration 10 hours 35 minutes
Length 23.34 km / 14.5 miles
Average Speed 2.25 kmh / 1.4 mph
Vertical Up 1527 m / 5010 ft
Vertical Down 1182 m / 3878 ft
