On a day when the temperature around Torrevieja hit an all-time high, 24 members of the Torrevieja U3A Hiking and Walking  group set off from Torremendo to explore one of the walking trails around the Pedrera reservoir.

Their elevated trek afforded them magnificent views of the turqoise-coloured reservoir and the surrounding countryside which included almond and citrus trees and the occasional rabbit and bird of prey.

A well-earned rest was taken by the group in a well-frequented bar in Torremendo after their three hour circular walk.

The Torrevieja u3a Hiking and Walking Group schedules walks from September to May.

More information about the group, as well as all the other activities that the members of the Torrevieja U3A can participate in, can be found on the Torrevieja U3A website.torreviejau3a.org. or a visit to the Facebook pages will provide similar information plus details on how to join the association
