    Requena (from Valencia) - Lana Late August 2019

    Sorry but I’ve done something stupid there with my posting (pushing the wrong buttons!). I will try and complete what I’ve started. Day2 continues Out of Buñol was difficult because of the awkwardness of its streets and road levels in the valley but also due to the steep climb out. It’s was...

    Requena (from Valencia) - Lana Late August 2019

    Day Day 2. Chiva to Siete Aquas (28km) The first section of this stage to Buñol was pleasant, mainly through olive groves. They were preparing for the tomato fiesta! I new the profile for the second section was tough and the 600m climb out difficult both due to the awkwardness of Buñol

    Requena (from Valencia) - Lana Late August 2019

    I have started my 2019 Camino, leaving Valencia on Thursday 22nd August, and have now reached Cuenca today. I find it difficult to give daily updates, like many of you do, and of which I have found really informative and much appreciated. Some of you have already provided excellent accounts of...

    Looking for Lana services list

    Hi Magwood, These are two great documents that will be really useful when I am on the Lana from Valencia in three weeks time. I will be following the Requena to MoS and then up to Burgos. I leave Valencia on the 22nd August and hope to reach Santiago around the 4th October! Many thanks.

    Thanks once again BP for your excellent accounts of your experiences along the Lana. It makes the waiting before I start it even longer. With 38 days until I fly out to Valencia I think it's time to begin the count down! Take great care of yourself out there Joe

    Hi BP, thanks for the tip of where the bar is if I reach Monteagudo! I always really enjoy my first beer when I reach my stop for the day! It is something that keeps me going if the road is tough. Take care and all the very best. Joe

    Day 8 arrival in Cuenca

    Hi LTfit, firstly sorry for the typo error with your name in my earlier post. Secondly I am well used to the hot conditions. On the 23rd August last year I left Alicante and walked the Sureste, joined the FC and then the Invierno to Santiago. On the 23rd August 2017 I left Seville and walked...

    Per2000, I did the Sureste from Alicante last August and just love the hot weather walking. You just need to be sensible and have good water management. Good luck LTfit. You will make it alright! Enjoy

    Planning Lana in late August 2019 from Valencia via Requena

    Hi Kevin. Following the Levante out of Valencia as far as Alpera is certainly an option for me but I get the sense from reading about those first few stages that they are not particularly nice, with a lot of road/commercial sections, when there is a more direct W/NW camino route. It seems more...

    Planning Lana in late August 2019 from Valencia via Requena

    Hi BP Thanks for the links. Have already looked at the guide by the Asociacion but it doesn't give much on the Camino de Requena. My main problem is getting information about accommodation in some of the end stages suggested.

    Planning Lana in late August 2019 from Valencia via Requena

    Having done the Sureste this year from Alicante I am seriously looking at the Lana but starting in Valencia. The first three or so days of the Sureste are the same roughly so I wanted something different. I loved my experience on the Sureste and the Lana is ticking many boxes again for me. My...
