[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 1040016, member: 50859"] [B]Day 1: Valencia (centro) - Manises, 8 kms [/B] ... So I got my first stamp at the sacristía. The two arrows I spotted yesterday (see above) were indeed the first of the Requena. Next to the Cathedral and the Plaza there is a small garden with an information panel about the Spanish civil war and air raids: that is where you start! And after that there are arrows every 50 mtrs all the way to Manises so you can't actually go wrong. This is the easiest way out of a large city I have ever done on a Camino, and Valencia is the 3rd largest city in Spain! I didn't need to check any map. So I am still in the suburbs. But luckily there are cultural thingies to see. There is a Ruta de la Cerámica here, that shows you the mosaics and sculptures that Manises has been decorated with. So it is not your typical industrial suburb, at least. As I had to deviate from the Camino to search for my Hotel Manises (35 euros), I think I stumbled across more of the street art than the regular pilgrim going straight to Loriguilla. Some pictures below. I am currently waiting to check in at the hotel (no earlier than 2 pm). If 35 euros is too much, you can take the metro back to Valencia and stay the night there. I think Manises could also be a good starting point on the Camino, as it is next to the airport. That will shorten the first stage to Loriguilla with 8 kms, leaving 13 more to be done. Which is what I will be doing tomorrow. But it is so hot 🥵...! Tag along! [/QUOTE]
