    LIVE from the Camino On the camino de Sagunto

    Another lovely day following the Jíloca downstream. I had assumed, from seeing a sign to Calatayud, that I would be on the camino natural Santander-Mediterranéo all the way there, as I have been, unexpectedly, all the way from Calamocha. "Unexpectedly", as they have brought this section into...

    Camino de la Cruz pilgrims passport

    I am planning to walk from Orihuela to Caravaca de la Cruz this Easter. I am trying to get the pilgrims passport in advance but am struggling to navigate the website to apply for this. I will be a solo walker and want to get as much organised in advance as possible. Thank you. Also any...

    Camino from Orihuela to Caravaca de la Cruz

    Simply entering "Caravaca de la Cruz" into the Search box will get you started - here are the results - although you still need to wade through results that are not what you want. Among those results is this short thread, which gives a link to a site to 10 Caminos de la Vera Cruz. The 10th one...

    Camino from Orihuela to Caravaca de la Cruz

    Hello All - hope winter has been kind to you. I would be very grateful if someone could provide me with any details of this route. I cannot find any guidebooks or Maps . The confusing issue is it is called “a 120k part of the Camino de Levante”in what little information I can see. In my mind...

    Ruta del Argar

    In summary: There is practically no Peregrino-style accommodation on this Camino and unless you are carrying a tent options are limited as to the length of each stage. You will, therefore, need deep pockets. Typically about 30.00 euros per night. The cheapest accommodation I came across was...

    Ruta del Argar

    25 June 2019 - Ruidera Yesterday I walked from Alcaraz to Ossa de Montiel (more or less 40 kms - rather more I feel!). From Alcaraz it's back on the tarmac but it is a very quiet road. Past Solanilla and Canaleja onwards and upwards to the Cima de la Pellejera (1042m). After the col you're on...

    Ruta del Argar

    19 June 2019 - Moratalla Yesterday I walked from Zarcilla de Ramos to Caravaca de la Cruz, about 35 kms. Another good day. From Zarcilla to Don Gonzalo I followed the mountain bike trail to avoid the asphalt and then onto Doňa Ines. Mostly flat with hills all around, mostly wheat, intensive pig...

    Camino Manchego

    You may well be right, Alan. Without poring over the maps I couldn't say. I'd not heard of the Ruta de la Orden de Calatrava before but I did Google it. Caravaca is on my next hike (Ruta del Argar: Lorca to Mora/Toledo) in September so I may have more for you then. I'll post a resumé of that...

    Camino Manchego

    "sun, solitude and cerveza" - if you add "sopa de ajo", that's as close as you'll get to my idea of paradise on earth. Thanks for your description - it looks to me as if it might be possible to combine your route with the route from Murcia to Caravaca de la Cruz, continuing from Caravaca partly...

    Ruta del Argar

    I'm also planning on walking the Ruta del Argar (Lorca to Mora) with some Ruta Don Quijote variations in September next year. Something along the following lines: Day 1 - Lorca to Zarcilla de Ramos (31 kms) Day 2 - Zarcilla to Caravaca de la Cruz (35 kms) Day 3 - Caravaca to Socovos (43 kms)...

    Has anyone done a Camino de la Vera Cruz in Murcia?

    http://www.caminosdelacruz.info/ Stumbled across this and it's new to me... Never realised " In 1998, the Vera Cruz catholic shrine, in Caravaca de la Cruz, was granted the celebration of a jubilee year in perpetuity. It is the fifth place to achieve this, after Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago de...

    Two days on the Camino Lebaniego, July 2016

    One of the highlights of my walk this summer was making a two-day detour from the Norte to follow the Camino Lebaniego to Santo Toribio de Liébana. The Camino Lebaniego "officially" begins in San Vicente de la Barquera, though you'll see some markers for it prior to that, as it's the major...

    Pilgrim statistics June and July 2016

    There are many caminos to Santiago; not just the Francés. The Sanabrés is way less busier (see data for the Vía de la Plata on the link below, at the bottom of my post). And you can reach the Sanabrés from caminos with barely any pilgrim like the Camino del Sureste or the Camino de Levante from...

    Mass and Monasteries along the Camino Frances

    In Catholic Christianity there are five Holy Cities that celebrate a Jubilee or Holy Year – three of these are in Spain. Liébana - where you will find the relic of the Lignum Crucis, the largest surviving fragment of Christ’s cross. The Monastery of Santo Toribio was founded in Mount Viorna...

    Camino de la Vera Cruz

    Does anyone know of/have information about this new camino. All I know is that it starts at Puente de la Reina and ends up at Caravaca de la Cruz in Murcia and is approximately 800km long. I would be interested to know if there are any albergues along the route and any other information anyone...

The Holy Cities are Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostela, Liebana, and the youngest, Caravaca de la Cruz (Town of the Cross). Two of the Spanish Holy cities are on Camino...

    Caravaca de la Cruz - the other Holy Year City

    Santiago isn't the only Spanish city celebrating the Holy Year. There are only 5 Holy cities in Catholic Christianity and three of those are in Spain. They are Santiago de Compostela, Camaleño (the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana) and the 'youngest' being Caravaca le la Cruz. (the other...
