I am planning to walk this route and would like more information. I don't expect albergues, but would like to know lodging information along the route and in the villages.
That is exciting news! I hope you will let us all know what the route is like as you walk it. I'll email Juan Fuentes Gomez tonight and let you know if he replies. I saw in the video clips on instagram that his group got their credentials stamped in the ayuntamientos in each village along the way, so there must be some local awareness of the route.
Re non-albergue accommodation, here are a few notes:
Stage 1 Alpandeire - Ronda - Jesús and Rosa will give you a warm welcome at
Hotel La Casa Grande in Alpinedeire. Note that it is open only Wed-Sunday in the off-season. There is a box on their website where you can email them to make a direct reservation or ask questions. Also in Alpandeire, you can visit the
house where Fray Leopoldo was born. The very interesting, low-key tour is conducted by a descendent of his birth family. The house is open on weekends and can be opened for visits during the week by calling the number on the door.
The
track between Alpandeire and Ronda is quite beautiful and goes by several surprises: the cave where part of Francisco Rosi's 1984 version of Bizet’s Carmen starring Placido Domingo was filmed; a water deposit topped with Corinthian columns; and two 6000-year-old Neolithic burial dolmens. Ronda has accommodations of all kinds.
Stage 3 Serrato - Ardales The
Hostal Restaurante El Cruce took good care of us when I broke my shoulder in a bike accident on the way into town.
Stage 4 Ardales - Valle de Abdalagís - You can break this stage at El Chorro where there are several places to stay, including camping cabins and a
bunkhouse for all the rock climbers who go there, but you definitely need reservations now that the
Caminito del Rey is so popular. If you are interested in seeing the ruins of
Bobastro with structures dating from Roman to Muslim times, the track goes right by it a few km before the spectacular descent to El Chorro. Valle de Abdalagis has the
Hostal Vista a la Sierra.
Stage 5 Valle de Abdalagís - Antequera brings you onto the Mozarabe from Malaga for the beautiful descent down La Escaleruela into Antequera where there are numerous hotels and a Mozarabe albergue. The
dolmens in Antequera are fascinating to visit.
I've not walked Stage 2 or stages 6-10, so don't have any tips about them, sadly.
