150km of Sureste in November

[Hoots]

I would really appreciate some advice. My friend and I have just walked the last 130km of the Portuguese coastal route and are now hooked. We would love to walk again in November/December but are concerned about the weather. We wonder if starting the Sureste at Alicante and walking about 150km might be an option with the idea of returning next Spring to do another chunk of it. As we are still new to all this - is the route well marked and would hotel accommodation be easy enough to find? Our daily limit is about 25km and we prefer to stay in hotels rather than hostels. We are thinking of this route purely because of weather but would be open to any other suggestions. Thanks

I haven't been there in winter/autumn, but I know that the route is very well marked!

Most of the time there are hotels or hostals along the way, but prepare for albergues if the towns aren't big enough.

On the second stage you have the luxurious hotel Fuente el Cura already, you'll like it!!

It is nearly November and this route sounds like an option. Did you do it in the end?

Well, we have made a start by buying our flight tickets to Alicante and leave for 3 weeks next month. We are unsure about starting the Sureste in November and may play it be ear once we arrive in Spain. If we don't, we intend on walking the coast to Javea which, whilst not the Camino, would at least keep our fitness up and give us plenty of options accommodation wise etc.

Isn't a long distance walk in Spain a camino? Thanks for your reply.
