Hello LTfit, thanks for your message.
We also were lost one time between Granada and Córdoba, shortly after leaving Moclin and N432.
I have described it in our blog (in french sorry- i really don't know how to traduce it in english) where i try to help pilgrims mentioning landmarks to walk across that olive grove where most of them lost their way, as we also did.
Regarding lodgings, a long time ago, decision was made not to sleep in albergues neither on the various Caminos we walked on nor on Francigena to Roma. I had read about this welcoming halt in Cerro Muriano. We'll sleep two nights in Córdoba instead and take buses to cover the two ways to and from Córdoba. Afterwards, we'll sleep in pensiones or small hostales, as usual.
I wish you all the best for 2016 y un buen Camino !
Francis
