The road to San Vicente Martir is a path that recalls the footsteps of the
saint, when in the fourth century he was captured in Zaragoza by Roman
soldiers sent by the consul Daciana. He was moved to Valencia and became a
martyr when he refused to give up his faith. They threw his lifeless body
into the waters of Cullera south of the city.
The road had its years of glory in the early centuries of Christianity in
the peninsula. It is documented that many pilgrims came to visit the
lifeless body of San Vicente and the name of the Via Augusta was changed to
The Way of Vicentius in some stretches. But with the arrival of the Arabs,
all these tracks were erased.
Now the pilgrims' route will be re-reanimated:
Last summer about 60 people traveled along it, even though there are no
signs yet, but with a few small signs and a little sense of direction is
easy.
The proposal is that the road begins in Roda de Isábena which has the only
Cathedral dedicated to San Vincente in Spain. From there it will go through
Ainsa to Huesca.
A group of volunteers recently followed the route of the Roman road through
Zaragoza and to Longares, Daroca, Carignan, Moreal del Campo, where they
turned toward the Maestrazgo, looking Cantavieja and Morella.
In the territory of Valenciana, down Vallibona and up the Via Augusta, the
most important and longest Roman Road of Roman Iberia. They followed the
Roman road south, via Sant Mateu, Cabanes, Largs, Sagunto to the city of
Valencia.
