Stage of the Camino
Stage Description
This stage continues through the Vinalopó valley in a gentle slope terrain. The landscape is dominated by vineyards and fields of cultivation. It's a transition day that brings the pilgrim closer to the province's interior. The destination is Petrer, a town with an impressive castle-palace that dominates the landscape. Its old town, with its cave houses, is of great charm.
The stage that joins Orito with Elda is a wavy profile journey that traverses the Vinalopó valley. The landscape is dominated by vineyards of table grapes and fields of cultivation. It passes through localities such as Monforte del Cid. The arrival in Elda, one of the most important cities in the province, is the end of the stage. Elda, along with its neighboring Petrer, forms an important industrial nucleus, known as the capital of women's shoes.
