- April 4th from SJPDP - May 5, 2017 - Complete!
After finishing the camino frances in 2017, I decided I would move to Spain and live here full time. I chose the city of Valencia (which coincidentally this last year was voted the #1 city in the world for expats), and I've been super happy here. Obviously things in Spain aren't great in general right now with COVID, but I'm thankful at least we can still get outside and go for a walk.
Today I decided to follow some of the waymarkers for the Levante, simply because I've seen a few around town and thought I may as well get some exercise. Right now we can't move between regions, so while I could technically walk it for 4 or 5 days (until I hit the border between regions), I'll likely wait until things relax a bit, and then maybe walk for a few weeks on it. One of the nice aspects of having already completed one camino is that I no longer feel the need to arrive in Santiago de Compostela at the end - if I make it there again, so be it, but I'm quite content just walking along a few of the other caminos for as long as I have time for. So one day I'll try and walk for a while on the Levante.
But in case anyone is interested, here are a few photos from this morning for all of you here are patiently waiting to do a camino in Spain. Let's hope this year some of us are able to walk a bit on one of the caminos! Until then, buen camino!
