That does sound amazing!wide open spaces, more castles than you can count (well, that’s a slight exaggeration), and monumental cities like Toledo, Avila, Zamora. Oh yeah, there are a couple of stunning mountain sections too, between Toledo and Avila, just amazing!
Winter could be very cold and windy on those inland flatlands (like Meseta or Tierra de Campos). I've heard that locals say they only know two seasons: winter and hellAs the Frances becomes more and more crowded, those of us who want peace and quiet will be looking for other options. The Levante sounds gorgeous, an especially good option for Winter and Spring pilgrims.
I'm in for Levante anytime. I loved it. And I walked it in extreme heat, even more than @he.panpub . Excelent summary you gave BTW!The spring option is absolutely the way to go, IMO, but lots of respect to you he.panpub. I cannot imagine walking in the summer. I hope you are enjoying it in spite of the temperatures.
I started on May 3. The weather and the terrain were perfect. Those emerald green fields waving in the wind, the bright red poppies, oh so wonderful. And then of course, the chance to get lost in the cottonwood forest outside Zamora
You know, one thing I would add for people considering it is that the number of towns with interesting things to see and visit is really very high. So even if you are alone, you won’t be bored! Dulcinea’s house, gorgeous churches, unique plazas mayores, castles to visit, the garlic capital of Spain, etc. Even when I walked five or six years ago, I remember thinking that the number of albergues was quite high for such an untraveled camino. And I also know that the number has increased since then. So, Kinky, maybe we should stop championing the Invierno, now that it is going to take off with the Xunta’s publicity, and refocus on the Levante.
and those are only the pilgrims who come at the Associación for their credencial. Most from other countries do notBottom line here is that the number of pilgrims leaving from Valencia has doubled since last year, and the comparison is total number last year vs. total number through July this year. Assuming there won’t be too many in August and September (though the article notes that 39 left in July!), I would expect that October would have a bunch.

For a general overview of routes see this map:Ok, so I was planning to do the Portugese route next year, but, might be able to get the funds together to do the Camino De Levante/Sanabrés route. Now, does the Camino Sureste and the De Levante routes follow the same path for most of their route? Does the Sureste stop at the start of the Sanabres? My plan was to do the De Levante to Zamora and join the De la Plata to start of Sanabres. Anyone done these routes that have any advice which is best course to take? I’d imagine that Valencia is a more appealing city to start at than tourist ridden Alicante. Any pointers would be helpful right now. Many thanks.

I have always been appreciative of the work done by various associations in keeping routes well marked, especially on those 'roads less taken.' It was a pleasure to join you all yesterday Jean-Luc, and I look forward to the next 'repinturas' outing in two weeks. Richard, Plymouth.Back with the increment of pilgrims on this way, I have not yet numbers, but in this beginning of 2022 we have at the AACS-CV a clear view of more pilgrims, national and foreign.
And today we had something quite new for us: as you can remember from former thread, every two weeks we dedicate one day for maintnance of a segment of Levante; today, in the team of arrow-painters, we had a lady from Uruguay, her husband from North-Carolina/USA, other gentleman from Plymouth/UK, and the two members with France as origin. Along the way we spoke Spanish, Valencian, English and French!
