Stage Description
The first stage of the Camino de la Lana from Alicante is a short and gentle journey that takes the pilgrim out of the city. The route is mostly urban and peri-urban. The destination is the small village of Orito, an important pilgrimage center in the region, famous for its sanctuary of San Pascual Bailón. It's a stage of acclimatization, ideal for a first contact.
The Way of the Wool begins in Alicante, on the Mediterranean coast. This first stage is a short journey that serves to leave the city and venture into the interior. The path runs through a terrain of gentle undulations, through the Alicante countryside. Arrival at Orito marks the end of the stage. This small village is an important center of popular devotion, thanks to the Sanctuary of San Pascual Bailón. The climb to the Cave of San Pascual, a place of great spirituality, is highly recommended. It's a peaceful final stage with a strong flavor of tradition.
