Tracks
A member of AACS-CV has just finished, on sunday 16th, her Levante way and uploaded her tracks on Wikiloc. See https://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/user.do?id=6581427

About the name Camino de Levante
Don't be confused, this is Camino de Santiago de Levante. Camino de Levante de Caravaca de la Cruz, and Camino de Levante de Guadalupe also exist.

Pilgrims
As on other ways the numbers of pilgrim on our way is increasing. In this moment we estimate there are 2 by day, mostly alone or couples. Recently we attended to a French man who leaved the French way three days after St Jean Pied de Port due to the massification, and came to Valencia to start Levante....

Buen Camino.

Hey, Jean-Luc @JLWV it’s great to see that the Levante is attracting more pilgrims. I still have to complete the section from Toledo to Zamora. It’s stil on my ever-growing list.
It’s such a big deal to travel halfway around the world to walk….

When I do get to walk the remaining stages, there seems to be a lot more information now on places to stay.
Thanks for all you and your wonderful group of Friends are doing to help.

We were lucky to walk the Levante last year - 66 days, Valencia to SdC. A visit to the association office in Valencia was a must and the information Jean-Luc provided was fantastic!! Highly recommend Levante … we didn’t see another pilgrim for the first 20 days!!
