I'm afraid I don't think the route we ...Hi! I'm afraid I don't think the route we did from Agost is anywhere online, our think our guide created it himself to do something different from the usual Maigmó hikes. <br />Most routes to the Maigmó start from Castalla, Xorret de Catí, Rincón Bello or the easiest Balcón de Alicante (just at the base, half-hour climb to the summit). The hikes can have you climb up the route with chains, or up the other face from Balcón de Alicante.<br />For routes, a lot of people around here who hike and know how to use a GPS upload their tracks to Wikiloc:<br />http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/home.do<br />You could type in Maigmó and see the options. Here's an example:<br /><a href="http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=3716381" rel="nofollow">Maigmo circular desde Tibi</a><br />This post I wrote a couple of years ago about going up the side with the "chains" will give you an idea about what that part's like:<br /><a href="http://crazycrishereandthere.blogspot.com.es/2012/03/when-hiking-turns-into-mountain.html" rel="nofollow">When Hiking Turns Into Mountain Climbing</a><br /><br />Enjoy! The view from the top is breathtaking! But be careful if it's windy. ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-69686024141134062722014-06-04T19:20:04.714+02:002014-06-04T19:20:04.714+02:00Hey Chris, we are planning to hike up Maigmo tomor...Hey Chris, we are planning to hike up Maigmo tomorrow and Ive been trying to confirm a starting point and route for the last few hrs. Do you have a route you could forward to me or do you know of a website with the route? You mentioned Agost but most info Ive found start from Castalla which looks like an easier way to get to the peak......But is this road from Agost easier for you to find Rincon Bello? Most routes seem to start here!<br /><br />Thanks for your help!SexLiesandScotchTapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639809355174950884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-65129079376470653612013-03-30T21:44:23.747+01:002013-03-30T21:44:23.747+01:00Ben SORT alors!

But I'm still just learning how to find my way around the Alicante trails, they tend to be a bit confusing! So I'm following others... But I do have a couple of newbie hiking friends who like me are dying to get out more... I just might look at the Geocaching maps and try and spot caches near decently marked trails! I just need to figure out which trails are decently marked in advance! :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-78436191663741934792013-03-26T19:19:59.204+01:002013-03-26T19:19:59.204+01:00LOVE THIS POST!

Call it "GeoHiking", explain to your comrads that it's the newest craze, everyone's doing it and before you know it, you'll be the founder of Geohiking.com and a big celebrity! Then I can say, "I knew her when she was just awesome and now look at her!"<br />Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644093093592973511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-70445713961982975092013-03-25T17:03:34.007+01:002013-03-25T17:03:34.007+01:00Marc, il doit y avoir pleins d'endroits magnif...Marc, il doit y avoir pleins d'endroits magnifiques par là pour faire de belles randos!

I don't know if previous models also have it, but with the iPhone5 you can choose a panoramic mode and basically "scan" the view you want... it stitches it all together as you're scanning/filming it and gives you the final panoramic straightaway! They look much better than the ones I used to do with my camera (stitching the images together later with software)!
