Hiking in Benicassim, Spain – in photos.
If you read No Time Zone. No Jet Lag. Living The FIB Time Warp, you know that I was in Benicassim, Spain in July — when it’s really hot. Yet, the Deserte de les Palmes, a mountain range about 18km long just minutes outside Benicassim, beckoned the hiker in me and a few other bloggers who were on this trip thanks to the Land of Valencia.
The solution, go hiking in the evening. We set out around 7pm and got back for dinner at 10pm and the FIB at midnight. Yes, it was a bit of a time warp.
Enjoy the hike.
After visiting the 17th century monastery near the start of the hike, we aimed for the Castle Montornes.

Dusk fell quickly. The palms along the top look like a camel train. Magical views in all directions.
