Can anyone suggest a basic pension of this sort somewhere in or near the center of Valencia?
Thank you kindly for your advice... Much appreciated...
Hi
I am heading down to Valencia in the next week to explore. What would you suggest to me as must dos or must see in Valencia and the area around Valencia?
I am looking for some up-to-date information about Valencia. There is an older thread about about "Valencia: accommodation, guide, and credencial" here but some of the information is a bit old. (Not really old, but anything pre-Covid could be suspect.)
Valencia is best known among pilgrims as...
This refer to the route between Alfafar and Massanassa.
Untill today the way was as follows: at the cementary of Alfafar we turned left in direction to IKEA, and 100 m further turn right along Massanassa's polideportivo.
This morning we changed it as follows: at the cementary we turn left, but...
HI all,
I am currently in Valencia for a couple of months (non camino) and am think of doing VDLP from mid to late September and I know it will be challenging as it will be short walks at the start due heat but then some really long days as I get further north.
I am going to do a few walks in...
We have now in Valencia the wetest spring of last 80 years, and the river Canyoles that our way crosses 5 times between Xativa/Játiva and La Font de la Figuera, is flooded and dangerous to cross. Pilgrims are suggested to ask locales for alternative route when leaving cities. We, at the AACS are...
A new initiative by the Valencian regional government has come up with a Route 66-type logo and an announcement that their “Ruta 99” will take people to 24 villages in Valencia. These villages were selected because they are the 24 villages in Valencia with fewer than 100 residents.
I’m...
I'm walking the Levante starting Oct 6th from Valencia. Is there anybody walking that route (or that has walked it) that can tell me anything about it, for instance, how busy the route should be? Just want an idea of how many people I can expect to see on the route. Thanks.
Due to the starting of the Año Santo the Xunta de Galicia asked us to illuminate one of our emblematic monuments, as the starting point of the camino de levante.
After approval by the cabildo of the cathedral and of the ayuntamiento, here is the result.
This morning the Amigos in Valencia opened for first time after the confinment, in an unusual atmosphere.
We were few members, as risky ones are excluded, same as those who have not specific work to do.
Two members were at the administrative desks, one at the door for orientation of visitors...

I’m going to spend the day tomorrow touristing around Valencia, going to the Pilgrim office, and getting all that squared away. Then, bright and early Thursday, I’m thinking before the sun has risen, hitting the...
This week, with some delay due to stormy weather, we are putting new Camino marks in the streets of Valencia.
They are pieces of metal, circular with a vieira, inserted in the middle of the sidewalks (always left sidewalk).
53 marks will guide you from the cathedral to the exit of the city
In the second half of April 2018 I walked from Valencia to Toledo. I had walked this route already in 2009. Here are some notes which I hope may help those who will be setting out on this Camino in the future. They mostly concern accommodation and restaurants but there are also some other...

I have read about camino already a bit, but still have few questions.
1) where do i get this pilgrim passport in Valencia? I know that on tuesday everything might be closed, so i will arrive on Monday most likely.
2) how does the stamping works. Do i need to stay...

I'm researching the Camino de Levante, but I've had contradictory information about the distance between Valencia and Toledo. One website says it is 429kms (Mundicamino), whereas another says it is 475kms (Vieirigrino), a difference of 46kms.
As this equates to roughly 2-days walking time, I'd...
Hi just posting this link to a group in Xabia www.caminodelalba.com/ It's a variant of the Camino Levant it starts in Xabia instead of Valencia. Gives you 6 or 7 days of varied terrain, quite hilly in parts, off road and joins the Levante 4 or 5 out from Valencia. People who are put off by the...
