The first stage of the Levante Way takes the pilgrim out of Valencia's great city. The route is entirely flat and runs through fertile Valencian huerta, a landscape of orange groves and rice fields. It is a transitional day that allows one to escape urban bustle. The route passes through towns like Benetússer and Silla. Arrival at Almussafes, an important industrial town, marks the end of this first stage.
