Segaria western end from Monte Pego – extended
From the top of Monte Pego we walk to the ridge of Segaria where there is evidence of an Iberian settlement. We then drop down and around the western end of the mountain into Benimeli. We then return back to the ridge and retrace our steps back to the cars. All on well defined paths, tracks and quiet country roads. The shorter legged of our species may need a helping hand on occasion.
