Hi Jil! I lived in Calig from 2004 to 2012. I'm just back from a week's holiday back there visiting old friends, and was amazed to see the shell signs and yellow arrows.A friend of mine lives in a very small village near the Mediterranean coast, about half way between Valencia and Barcelona. Her town is Calig de la Torre and she just sent me a picture of an official Camino shell/yellow arrow marker. I looked it up and it seems to be a fairly new Camino called Baix Maestrat, starting in Vinaros. Anyone here have any experience on this route?
I'm really too old to be contemplating this, Peregrina 2000 [assume that was your year of birthIt’s always so great to be tempted by more and more new caminos! Thanks for this, Jill. The website Henri linked us to says that it joins up with the Ruta del Ebro after Vallivana, but I have walked the Ebro and for the life of me can’t figure out where that connection would possibly be. But this map shows that the Castellón connects with the Ebro, so my guess is that the Baix Maestrat connects with the Castellón which connects with the Ebro. Complicated. But that makes it more fun!

Further investigation, shows that it is, indeed, the Baix Maestrat camino. Oh dear! Camino number nine seems to be beckoning .....
Uh oh...another one to add to The List.A friend of mine lives in a very small village near the Mediterranean coast, about half way between Valencia and Barcelona.

Sorry, I can't open your attachment in order to see your former home.Not that I can remember, Jill. Mind you, [a] my memory is really awful, and we left Calig some seven years ago!
We lived in this house, which you can see on the left as you drive up the Calig by-pass :

Only 5 months to go to next April! Am walking short distances [VERY short!] every day to keep my legs workingI'm looking forward to hearing about it too and I hope you walk it, Stephen.
Oh so happy to read this! You gave us so many helpful tips when we walked the Ebro. I am a little unclear on your route, Stephen, clue me in! Buen camino, LaurieOnly 5 months to go to next April! Am walking short distances [VERY short!] every day to keep my legs working
Well, Laurie, as far as I can see at the moment, I will start in Vinaros and the route should be .....Oh so happy to read this! You gave us so many helpful tips when we walked the Ebro. I am a little unclear on your route, Stephen, clue me in! Buen camino, Laurie
I'm rooting for you, Stephen!OK OK everything is put back, year after year. I really hope to walk this camino in May 2022: heck I'll be 83 by then! If anyone has walked it, please tell me the difficulties and maybe problems walking over the Maistrat mountains. Is the camino well sign posted? Many thanks: God bless each one of you, and each peregrino in Spain at the moment.
The more historical principal route (may not be waymarked !!) from there is one going through Tortosa and eventually on to the Ebro Way, though both variants lead eventually to Fuentes de Ebro, and on to Zaragoza > Logroño and the Francès.It ends in the town of Vallivana. I can't see how it connects to another Camino a Santiago from there.
I walked the Ebro camino a few years ago, and loved every minute of it's peaceful path. But I'll be content to [finally] walk this new section from my old town of Vinaros: I can keep the distances down to around 10 kms each day, as I know every town it passes through.The more historical principal route (may not be waymarked !!) from there is one going through Tortosa and eventually on to the Ebro Way, though both variants lead eventually to Fuentes de Ebro, and on to Zaragoza > Logroño and the Francès. But there are dozens of secondary and tertiary pilgrimage routes leading up from that coastline. Looks like a fair amount of Sierra to get through, fine if that's your cup of tea.
Oh! I feel 110 already: by then I'll probaby feel 130!!No-one here seems to have walked it yet, @Stephen Nicholls . Sp you may have to be the first one, even if by then you do feel 110. Buen camino planning, peregrino!
