Thinking thinking thinking about the Levante and will be looking forward to hearing all about your walk. Are you walking alone and how much distance (a range) do you expect to do each day. Also would like to know what the weather is like in September and what's out there in the fields. Wishing I could be there this year but maybe next fall...Hola! Not quite 'live' yet, but 43 hours after walking out my front door I arrived in Valencia a couple of hours ago. Had a shower, then a nice meal and a beer in a bar across the road. Now ready for some sleep, but must share one thing first. This afternoon I dropped a 50 euro note at Chamartin station. Didn't notice but heard a woman calling after me to return it. The Camino is already providing.
Yep like me!!!!We don’t get too many “live from the Levante” threads, but I’m betting that there is a group of slightly hard-core peregrin@s here on the forum who will enjoy every post you care to make.
Wishing you a wonderful walk on this most wonderful Camino!
You may catch me up!I will be five days behind you! I walked it 8 years ago (when I was 8 years younger). It is a wonderful Way. Buen Camino!
Hi Rita, I am.walking alone, like to average 25 k a day but this will increase on this Camino. Weather was high 20s, overcast and very humid. The humidity was the most noticable aspect today.Thinking thinking thinking about the Levante and will be looking forward to hearing all about your walk.

Moixent? maybe you mean Xativa/JativaI would highly recommend arranging things so that you have the time and energy to walk up to the castle in Moixent - it’s a 5-star!
Oh yes of COURSE, I mean Xátiva. Thanks, @JLWV, I have edited my post. It is really a spectacular castle. I don’t want Lindsay to suffer, but I really am hoping you will get some of that much needed rain!Moixent? maybe you mean Xativa/Jativa
Buen Camino Lindsay; you start your trip in our first week of rain after a long summer of dryness....
I passed through this area today Jean-LucThis is LIVE.
I have just seen on TV that today there were severe rains in CANALS, on your way, which make the river Canyoles growing (it was dry!!).
When in Canals get information, and if the river give problems take off the way and go by the road south of the river.
5 years ago due to flooding we marked the way on that road, but time going those marks will be no more visibles. (In that moment a young strong guy from Canada and an older french man could continue their way)

When I walked the Levante, there was no albergue, and my companions stayed in the Red Cross building. They had a similar experience. I stayed in a casa rural.The Moixent albergue however was a bit of a let down. Very basic and located in the same building as the police station, the place was filthy. Opened cans and bottles in the fridge, garbage including food scraps in the bins,
You walked it? Fine to know.There is a brand new rail trail from Manuel to Xativa that cuts about 3 k off the old route,
Me,too!!Yep like me!!!!
Lindsay -- Am following you closely and taking notes! Thank you again for the journey reports.Currently sitting outside the municipal albergue in La Gineta enjoying a well earned beer. It's only a re-purposed soccer change room but it is fit for purpose.
Met my first peregrinos two days ago in Chinchilla de Montearagon. An older French couple who were walking a section of the Camino Sureste. The.man is 86! I was suitably impressed.
The last few days have been mostly farm tracks with little shade and no water between towns. This has created a situation where I either do relatively short days, 20 k or so, or must do long days around 40k. I have chosen the short option. Not walking in the afternoon heat!
You are so lucky to have gotten in! We had called the Ayuntamiento several days ahead because we knew we would be arriving on a Sunday and they told us to go to the policia local. Well,when we got there, no policia local were anywhere to be found and the sports complex was locked up tight.Currently sitting outside the municipal albergue in La Gineta enjoying a well earned beer.

Had no problem with the Ayuntamiento today, but its a weekday. Planning on the bullring in La Roda tomorrow, but after the hassles of last weekend dealing with the local government beurocracy I have booked ahead for Saturday and Sunday in private hostals.You are so lucky to have gotten in!

We were lucky that there was a train coming by later that afternoon to take us ahead to La Roda. My walking partners were in no way interested in taking a train back the next day to walk those 22flat kms, and I had a hard time shaking the fact that this was the first time I had “skipped” a stage on a camino.
Will you be in the bull ring tomorrow?
