Ruta de la Lana Camino de Santiago

La Ruta de la Lana, also known as the Camino de Santiago de la Lana, is the section that departs from the cities of Valencia and Alicante. Unlike the Camino del Levante or Sureste, which also departs from these cities, the La Ruta de la Lana runs much further east, from south to north.
