A new initiative by the Valencian regional government has come up with a Route 66-type logo and an announcement that their “Ruta 99” will take people to 24 villages in Valencia. These villages were selected because they are the 24 villages in Valencia with fewer than 100 residents.
I’m guessing that they came up with the Ruta 99 name just by turning the Route 66 numbers upside down, but I’m not sure about that.
There is no single itinerary connecting all of the villages, so I’m assuming there is no marking, but the website does offer itineraries. You just click on the pueblo you want to go to, and up pops several ideas about how to combine it with other pueblos. Sellos are available.
I wish them luck with this ambitious project! Sort of “Camino de Santiago meets Route 66.”
