Day 7. La Aldea del Obispo to Torrejón el Rubio. 27 km. This was the day of motorcycles whizzing by noisily, all day long, hundreds of them, while I walked on the shoulder of the familiar EX-208. The road is mostly straight, through dehesa, following a Via Pecuaria with bridges...
Camino Mozárabe Variante via Trujillo:
I just walked this variante in March. Here is some information on my stages which may help others interested in this alternative to walking the Mozarabe to Merida. I mostly followed the recommendations of Jose Antonio Ortega Ruiz, who has the Facebook...
When I walked the Mozarabe in the fall of 2019, I had wanted to try walking this Variante via Trujillo, but didn't. I walked the more popular route to Merida and then north on the Via de la Plata until I ran out of time and headed home. This month I will start the Mozarabe again, this time...
PilgrimPilar - Beautiful photos. Thank you. I'm hoping to walk the Mozarabe via Trujillo in early March. Any advice on your stages on that variant? From Magacela to Aldeanueva del Camino? Especially the first stage after Magacela? I suppose I could walk a 44 km stage, but I'd rather not.
Thank you ever so much for this concise summary. I am excited about my upcoming walk. I'm used to calling ahead, but it's nice to have information from a fellow pilgrim who has walked so recently.
Thank you! I'll hope to stay there early March. I was just now researching all albergues along the route from Malaga, and saw your post. Great timing for me to see this. Thanks again. Are you by any chance blogging/posting your walk, and listing places you've stayed?
The IGN app icon I see on my phone's app store is the same design, but different colors. Blue over orange, and is called Mapas de Espana Basicos. Is this the same app? Or more limited? It doesn't say anything about 'Aplicaciones en Google Play" so I am thinking it does not have the same...
He was still there last week. Ready to hurry out to the road to greet me. My take is that he is lonely and a bit odd. He indicated that I should have something to drink and stay a while, but I just cheerfully used my inadequate Spanish and walked quickly on. Even if I hadn’t been forwarned...
Thanks so much. I ended up walking the 35 km from Moclín to Ventas del Carrizal by 5:30, did not succeed in persuading the Baileys to open off season as they had just applied bleach and insecticide powder to the bedrooms. Villagers told me they charge 15 euros for a pilgrim bed if open...
Right.
I found a mention of a bnb/bar run by the Bailey’s, mother Tric and son Matt but listed telephone not correct. And I found a review by a Camino Mozárabe Pilgrim who had stayed there earlier this year. I suppose no working number means they are no longer there. We have already...
Does anyone know of lodging in Venta del Carrizal? Halfway between Alcalá la Real and Alcaudete?
A Bnb run by an Englishman ? A room above the bar?
I want to do a stage tomorrow of 30 some km, not 20 some or 40 some.
