[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 1043723, member: 50859"] [B]Camino de la Requena: Final verdict[/B] [I]General impression[/I]: I would definitely walk this Camino again! The towns are charming and the scenery is varied. It was even more entertaining than the walk from Alicante. Buñol, Requena and Utiel are beautiful towns. [I]Designation[/I]: Whenever I told the villagers I was walking the Camino de la Requena, they shook their heads and corrected me: it is the Camino de la Lana (from Valencia). According to them, the Requena is some other trail in the area. I like the thought of just calling it the Lana, to put it on par with the Lana from Alicante. [I]Planning[/I]: I had planned to walk it in 10 days as suggested by the guidebook. Finally I did it in 11. I would like to return to walk the stages I had intended to do. For example, Valencia - Loriguilla - Buñol - Siete Aguas would be a better way to divide the first three stages. I think 10 stages is adequate for a reasonably fit pilgrim. This makes the Camino de la Requena about as long as the branch coming from Alicante (11 stages to Monteagudo according to the guidebook). [I]Distances[/I]: The longest stage without accomodation is Cardenete - Monteagudo de las Salinas (28 kms). The pilgrim can divide the stages as he/she wishes during the first days from Valencia. This becomes more tricky the closer you get to Monteagudo de las Salinas. At the end I had no choice but to do stages of, for example, 28 or 33 kms. Then I walked even longer from Monteagudo to Cuenca, but there is no need to do this as you can split that in two stages. [I]Waymarking[/I]: Pretty good. I got lost only one or two times. More arrows are needed after Utiel; Fuenterrobles. There are cairns where previous pilgrims led me in the right direction and I made my contributions to thank them. We are not talking about heaps of stones that can deface the Camino but discreet, functional signs that are helpful in the hour of need. [I]Budget[/I]: I spent more money than I needed since I prefer private accomodation. Normally 30-40 euros, occasionally 20-30 euros. From Requena (half-way to Monteagudo de las Salinas) there are albergues de peregrinos on every stage. But I don't know what they look like except for in Cardenete. I don't want to scare away future pilgrims with the prices I have mentioned above. This Camino can be walked with less expenses. From Monteagudo de las Salinas, the Camino continues to Burgos where it connects with the Camino Francés. Bye for now! [/QUOTE]
