Hello, adventurers! Today we will explore the Camino de Levante towards Caravaca de la Cruz, discovering the hostels that make this route an unforgettable experience.
But beware, this path is not just any route; it is a trail full of stories, traditions, and stunning landscapes. Connecting the east with the southwest of Spain, the Camino de Levante has become a bridge between cultures, histories, and, above all, between people from all corners of the world.
And what would a pilgrim be without a cozy place to rest? The hostels on this path are not just places to sleep. They are spaces that, besides providing rest and comfort, offer opportunities to connect with other travelers and with oneself.
We start in Orihuela, at the Miguel Hernández University Residence, named after the street where the poet was born. The three-story building with free WiFi, in addition to sleeping and resting, provides the perfect experience to discover more about the local culture and history.
