Bocairent-Ontinyent-Xátiva

I was in two minds about the plan for today. The original idea was to split the trip to Xátiva into two shortish days, stopping in aeola de malferit overnight. However when I looked at the map again in the light of my experience yesterday I could see that there was no real route that I could take once past Ontinyent apart from a busy road. Then I had the bright idea of staying in Bocairent in the nice hotel for another night and walking to Ontinyent to catch the train to Xátiva.
Of course what I had forgotten was that there is a general strike in Spain tomorrow so no trains will be running.
Showing remarkable agility of mind I changed it again and decided to do it today.
The walk out of Bocairent was excellent; up a steep winding path to the ermita de santo cristo, with the stations of the cross marking the route. After the church a walk over bare mountain top, very different to yesterday's walking through wooded country. Then down through a dramatic gorge to the road into Ontinyent.
I got to the station in plenty of time for the train at 3:46. Three quarters of an hour later I'm in the bustling town of Xátiva, in a hotel room which stinks of smoke. Shortly I'll go to find some food.
That's the end of this stage of the route. I don't much feel like carrying on at the moment but I'll probably have forgotten all about the pain in a couple of years time.
Thanks to everyone who's posted comments: it gladdens my heart to read them.
