Hi Burlington. The best source of info is the Valencia Association. They have a guide online and keep it up to date. Their
website is here if you haven’t seen it. If you can, try to visit the Amigos when you’re in Valencia. One forum member
@JLWV is an active member and frequently posts here with updates.
The first four days are virtually all asphalt but very little of that is industrial. It’s mainly agricultural—rice and fruit orchards. It was hard on my feet. I walked the first day to Silla and then trained back to Valencia for the night. Then Silla to Algemesí the next day because a 38 Km first day was too much for me.
I think the number of albergues has increased quite a bit. I really loved the Levante! Lots of interesting and historical small towns, lots and lots of castles in wide open spaces.
That thread is
here. It was done during COVID confinement and we had a lot of fun doing it.
Would love to hear how it goes for you,
@cindyjo and
@Burlington. Buen camino to you both.
