![]() Stage 1: Alicante to cemetery at edge of city. I also took notes on many of the accounts on this website. My resources were Kevin O’Brien’s very useful Walking Guide of September 2018, the Spanish language Camino de la Lana guide published in 2019 by the Alicante Amigos del Caminos de Santiago (spiral bound, heavy, 150 pages with some information on accommodation, phone numbers, distances, notes on villages and towns), the online 250 some page document by the same Amigos, with very detailed trail directions in Spanish and maps, and another good source of information on accommodations. Initially I was concerned that many albergues would be closed, but in fact the only albergues I found closed because of the pandemic were in Novelda and Alpera. All accommodations were arranged by phone 1-3 days in advance. So here are some notes, mostly an outline of my stages, accommodations, and other useful items. Starting this late meant it was ever so cold in late November and December in the central high plateau. Like many of us, I was more than ready to get walking again, despite the continuing pandemic, so when I felt it was safe enough for me to travel to Spain and walk, I started November 11th, though this was a little later in the fall than I normally start a 685 km walk. I hope this summary of my recent Ruta de la Lana will be useful to someone.
