YES!!! - I took off my boots and socks and ran the cold water over them. Luxury!
¡hola! from Medina del Campo. I'm using the Lepère guide to the Levante, which is pretty good - admittedly I've only been on the Levante for 1 day, but the bits I'm familiar with post Zamora look good too - so if you can read French (fairly elementary French) then I'd recommend it. I got mine from amazon for c£10.
Got my guide today. Took the Spanish from 2013 with changed maps because of roadworks. Sent the money 3/1 and got the guide in 2 weeks. Great service. Thank you

Hello everyone, I have now on my desk the newly arrived "Way of Saint James from Valencia to Santiago". It is issued by the Amigos del Camino de Santiago de la Comunidad Valenciana. email info@vieiragrino.com. It cost 34 euros for both book, complete with maps and postage to Norway. It really is a beautiful piece of work and seems well, almost poetically translated. Wonderfully, apart from the practical route instructions, there is a lot of historical and achitectural information, beautifully presented. I would probably buy the guide anyway even if I wasn't walking! Fairly robust with waterproof covers. It weighs 493 grams (!!) but you can remove the section on the Via de la plata and a few other pages before starting. This will about halve the weight. I hope to start from Valencia, about three days in front of Eammon on the tenth but he will no doubt catch me up because I will try to break up some of the longer stages. The intention at the moment is to walk to Toledo, meet Kari off the plane in Madrid and walk on together from Toledo to the Frances at Astorga. From there we hope to walk to Santiago. I will put in a few notes here and there especially if there are any corrections to the guide. There is a rumour that Kevin Hall will also be starting the Levante in May. Stay well everyone.
Best,
Kevin and Kari
Hello - Any chance of your walking towards the end of May. I could wait a few days. I tend to walk 30 to 50 kms per day. I tend to take a compass to find the way especially as I have obtained the older English version of the guide though now wish I had asked for the English guide with the UPDATED Spanish editio maps.. that would have been ideal. I made the VdlP last year and that was difficult enough with the high speed train works.. regards - PhilipHi, LTfit,
The Levante was really a spectacular experience for me. Like you, I love the wide open countryside and endless views of the sky. I have a gut feeling that the Levante is going to get more and more popular, but right now the perfect way to walk it would be to have one or two companions to make things more social in the after-walking time, but still have plenty of alone time during the day. So, that's a long way of saying we should keep in touch about this. And I wonder if there are others out there considering this route as well? Buen camino.
