TABARCA Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Allimmo: Wegens tijdsgebrek ga ik mij nog beperken tot het onderhouden van de caches die het dichtst bij mij thuis liggen. Ik meen dat het eerlijker is deze terreinen opnieuw vrij te geven voor anderen.
Eerstdaags haal ik de caches weg, en bezorg de eventuele coins of TB's een nieuwe lokatie.
Dank aan de vele loggers die positieve (en andere) reakties gaven.

Geocache Description:

Beutifull views on your way to, and on the island of Tabarca, just in front of the Faro de Santa Pola near Alicante.

You'll have to take the boat from Santa Pola to the little isle of Tabarca. Trip of 30 minutes boat.

(11 euro for the boat trip, go and back)

The isle exists of a 50% classified nature part. On the other part, you can admire little houses, a church and some restaurants and hotels.

First go to Wpt1, mentionned already above as startingcoördinates.
This is the end of the builded part of the island.

You will find an ancient fortified entrance, under which one could come in the city through the wall.
You have to pass this entrance, out of the old city,with your back towards the sea.

If you pay attention, you can find out who built this entry.

The answer exists of 3 words.

In these 3 words, only 1 letter is written 4 times;

calculate the alfabetic digit-value of that letter. (This value = A)

Than you have to go to Wpt2, N 38°09.776 W O°28.308

You should see a concrete plot with a sign on it and the number +57.The sign exists of 3 letters.

Calculate the alfabetic value of the first letter (value =B)

Now you will go for the cache on the following coordinates:

N: 38° 09 (98*A) W: 0° 28 (25*B)

Take care while searching and getting the cache, please.


Enjoy your trip to the island and if you are hungry, the 'sardines' and the 'paella' are delicious in the restaurant on the 'placa grande'


Note:

If you liked this cache walk, and did'nt go for the cache named "Santa Pola" yet, now it's the moment.

Both caches can be seen by the other.

There are only 4 kilometers of water between theme.

Small note on cache maintenance: The cache will be controlled by our daughter who is living in an urbanisation of Santa Pola, half an hour away from the boat to the Isle. She also controls the cache "Santa Pola"
