The day of Santa Faz is a significant date for many residents of Alicante who are already preparing for this year's pilgrimage. Whether you are a seasoned pilgrim who walks the distance between the co-cathedral and the monastery every year, or if 2026 will be your first time, it is important to consider certain recommendations and tips to ensure the Santa Faz 2026 pilgrimage goes smoothly.

When facing the pilgrimage, which involves walking approximately 7 kilometers, it is essential to start the day with a good breakfast to gain strength. During the journey, it is also advisable to replenish energy with some high-energy food to continue walking without issues.

Footwear is another crucial point. It is recommended to wear comfortable athletic shoes or shoes that have been previously worn and are well-tied, avoiding flip-flops to prevent pain or blisters. Staying well-hydrated is vital, so water should be drunk regularly, and alcoholic beverages avoided.

Personal safety is also important. You should carry your ID or health card, and if you are taking any medication, the relevant information. If attending with children, it is essential to keep them supervised and ensure they carry identification with a contact phone number. Finally, if you need to rest, you should find a spot that does not obstruct the path of other pilgrims, preferably in the shade if the sun is out.
