Southeastern Way, Southeastern Way from Benidorm, South Southeastern Way, Southeastern Way from Cartagena
The Southeastern Way, the Southeastern Way from Benidorm, the South Southeastern Way and the Southeastern Way from Cartagena form a network of Jacobean routes originating in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, specifically within the Valencian Community and the Region of Murcia. The Southeastern Way is the longest and primary route in this network, while the other three are shorter routes that merge with the main path at various points early in their journeys.
The Southeastern Way is a Jacobean route that begins in the city of Alicante and ends in Benavente, where it joins the Silver Way. It traverses the provinces of Alicante, Murcia, Albacete, Cuenca, Toledo, Madrid, Avila, Valladolid and Zamora, passing through the cities of Albacete, Toledo and Avila. Along its course, it intersects with other Jacobean routes coming from eastern and southeastern Spain, most notably the Eastern Way, with which it shares certain alternative sections, such as the variants via Yecla and El Tiemblo.
The Southeastern Way from Benidorm is a Jacobean route that starts in Benidorm, with an alternative branch from Villajoyosa, and ends in Villena. The route is quite mountainous and proceeds consistently westward across the province of Alicante. From Villena, pilgrims can continue along either the Southeastern Way or the Wool Way.
The South Southeastern Way is a Jacobean route that begins in Torre de la Horadada, the southernmost town in the province of Alicante, hence its name. Following a primarily flat, northward path, the route runs entirely within that province, passing through Elche, and joins the Southeastern Way at Orito.
The Southeastern Way from Cartagena is a Jacobean route that starts in that city and ends in Petrola, where it joins the Southeastern Way. It traverses the provinces of Murcia and Albacete, passing through the city of Murcia, and is notable for its route along the Segura River valley. A major port since ancient times, Cartagena is said to have been the point of entry for the Apostle James into Roman Hispania.
