Video that covers the route of The Conquest of Valencia of the Camino del Cid, from Teruel to Valencia.
The literary route starts in Cella, the town chosen by El Cid to call a meeting for all those who wished to follow him in the conquest of Valencia. It then continues alongside the river Palancia, in whose valley is Jérica, which was conquered by El Cid. The next town in the route is Segorbe, where 3,000 Muslim knights slept after travelling to Alcocer to combat him. The route comes out to the Mediterranean Sea: first at Sagunto, where, according to El Cantar, El Cid established his military base for a period of three years; and, second, at El Puig, a strategic point, 15km away from Valencia.
Available historical sources point out that El Cid conquered the city in the year 1094, after months of harsh siege.
There are many charming towns with an intense medieval touch. Along the highest points of the route, you will come across fascinating landscapes as well as mixed Mediterranean groves, natural pools (apt for swimming), rivers and straits. Along the lowest parts of the route, there are impressive fruit fields, marshes and the warm Mediterranean beaches.
There are three World Heritage Sites and seven towns which have been declared Historic.
