I posted these views as representative of some of the stages from Almeria to Cordoba. From the top: Approaching Espejo before the first views of the Guadalquivir; Leaving Moclín; Descending into Quentar; Sierra Nevada, Granada and Olivares looking back from Moclín; Guadalquivir from Espejo...
Almeria to Granada is a great walk (200km) and the reports of the scree slope on one small section give the wrong impression. That section out of Alboloduy can be avoided by simply taking the road out of the village (which I was told gives better views) as this puts you onto the Camino exactly...
I'm a little surprised that I missed this Pension but it was dark and raining and the end of a very long day. I hope it still is there as it appears accommodations at A Gudina are at a premium anyway due to the needs of all the people working on the AVE projects in the area. I've not been on...

Puebla de Sanabria is very quiet at this time of year, many accommodations were closed or shutting up, and I found this in many other places on the route. The...
Many thanks. The biggest fire appears to be north of Gudiña right now but the rains today should be helping. I shall update tomorrow evening as I progress from Requejo via Lubián towards there.
Thank you for your reply and the information. The forecast is for a few days of heavy rains, hence my query about flooding, but I'm looking forward to an interesting hike.
I'm rejoining the Camino at Puebla de Sanabria on Wednesday to walk to Santiago and would be interested in any information from peregrinos on the route or who have travelled this path recently. I read (online) that there is a number of diversions due to AVE work and there are warnings that the...
