History of Way of Sagunto
The history of the route begins at its starting point: Sagunto. The ancient Arse of the Iberians, and later the Roman Saguntum, is a city marked by fire in history. Its heroic resistance against the Carthaginian army of Aníbal in 219 BC, which triggered the Second Punic War, made it a symbol of loyalty and sacrifice. Its theater and Roman castle are testaments to its importance in antiquity. As a node of communication for the Via Augusta, it was a natural starting point for travelers heading inland.
Although there are no chronicles that detail a Jacobean route from Sagunto in the Middle Ages, its route coincides largely with the "Way of Exile", one of the sections of the tourist-cultural route of the "Way of the Cid". This itinerary remembers the journey into exile of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the Cid Campeador, in the 11th century. The hero's adventures, as told in the "Cantar de mio Cid", took him through these same lands bordering between Christian kingdoms and Muslim taifas. Medieval pilgrims who passed through the area followed the same routes, and the figure of the Cid, a quintessential Christian knight, became a legendary reference in his own pilgrimage of faith.
The Way of Sagunto was therefore the logical option for Valencia's pilgrims who wanted to avoid the long coastal route north. Moving northwest, the path rises from the Valencian plain into the mountains of the interior, passing through historic villages like Segorbe or Jérica. It enters Aragon via the province of Teruel, one of the areas with the highest concentration of Mudéjar art —declared World Heritage by UNESCO—, visible in the towers of its churches in towns like Jérica or Rubielos de Mora.
The objective of the route was to reach the Meseta to connect with routes heading to Burgos. Generally, it sought to link up with the Way of the Wool or the Castellano-Aragonese Route in the province of Soria. This final section was especially difficult, crossing some of the coldest and most depopulated comarcas of the peninsula.
The modern revival of this route has been closely tied to the promotion of the Way of the Cid, which gives it a unique character. It is a double pilgrimage: towards the tomb of the Apostle and through the scenes of Spain's greatest epic poem. It offers the contemporary pilgrim an experience of great solitude, breathtaking landscapes, and immersion in the history of borderlands, following the footsteps of nobles, soldiers, and legendary heroes.
