Concrete on Ruta de Lana

[DTCamino]

Having just completed the Camino de Madrid and the reduced concrete/road walking that was involved (1st day excluded), I’d like to walk another route with less concrete like the Madrid. The posted videos seem to indicate a fair amount the first 4-5 days on the Lana.

How much concrete or road walking did people notice on the Ruta de Lana?

I know it wasn't your question. I haven't walked the Lana.
Have you walked the VdlP? Generally great walking surfaces.

We walked the Lana last year. There’s a little bit of road walking - small back roads - as you walk out of Alicante on the first day. After that it was mainly on rural paths except when you reached a small town or village.

I've walked the Lana from Alicante to Cuenca and besides the day leaving Alicante I don't remember lots of concrete. Are you sure that they weren't talking about the Levante? The first 3-4 days from Valencia are definitely on concrete.

I've walked that same section, about 12 days or so. My recollection is similar.. little road walking apart from the outskirts of Alicante, and in and out of towns.. and zero other pilgrims!

To be honest if you’re planning to walk in early Spring or Winter I think the mud could be more of an issue than concrete.

Probably just the person filming their walk took a lot of footage on concrete. It seemed like about day 4-5 in their videos they were finally filming dirt paths so I wanted to get feedback of those that have done the walk. Thanks for the info!

Perfect, thanks!

Great, thanks!
