    Via Serrana Apps and Maps

    I used GPS tracks furnished by the Dutch confraternity when we walked the Via Serrana this past fall. https://www.santiago.nl/ We affectionately called those tracks "the Dutch guys". It worked quite well - they recommended downloading a GPS app called Essential GPS, which we did. We chose...

    What a camino! Did you go on to the coast?

    This photo also jogs my memory. Two months ago this gate was closed but unlocked. We just opened it, went through, and reclosed it.

    Have a great walk! We started the Via Serrana two months ago and just finished in Muxia yesterday. We loved the Via Serrana.

    Questions about the Vía Serrana

    Same problem for us. Really nasty stuff. We didn't know there was an easy alternative.

    Questions about the Vía Serrana

    I remember some gates with multiple means of securing them, and at least a couple like the photo with colored rope/string used in securing them. We managed to get through them all without climbing any. I can't swear I remember that particular gate. My notes show that we went through eight...

    Questions about the Vía Serrana

    By the way, we loved the Via Serrana. Didn't see another pilgrim until Sevilla, but we are so thankful for jungleboy's recommendation. Simply gorgeous country.

    Questions about the Vía Serrana

    We just finished the VdlP in SdC yesterday after walking the Via Serrana in mid- to late September. Although I remember a whole lot of gates, I don't recall a single one that didn't open. So we never climbed a gate or a fence (except for a very bad day into Coripe resulting from getting off...

    Via Serrana or Mózarabe from Málaga?

    Others can weigh in too, but there were some pretty challenging days, especially the day through the the Parque Natural that has quite a few steep ascents and descents. You'd want to be in shape. Johnny Walker's write up provides for either a 10-day or 14-day itinerary. We did it in 10, but...

    Via Serrana or Mózarabe from Málaga?

    Good luck deciding! Sounds like you can't go wrong.

    Via Serrana or Mózarabe from Málaga?

    We just finished the Via Serrana from La Linea to Sevilla a few days ago. Stunningly beautiful. We didn't see another pilgrim the entire time - that might be a pro or con. There is construction underway on some of the railway tunnels on the stage leaving Olvera. If you decide to go, be...

    June 11-20 Via Serrana to Seville from La Linea de Conception.

    Thanks to you both, jungleboy and OnHellas. Managed with some tutorials (who knew you have to download a File Manager app?) to get a Via Serrana route downloaded that should work with Wikiloc. The Johnnie Walker write up from 2018 looks terrific. I will be studying it and will probably bring...

    June 11-20 Via Serrana to Seville from La Linea de Conception.

    Thank you to KarelNZ and to Jungleboy for these posts (and for Jungleboy's past posts). We're following this itinerary starting in mid-September. This is all extremely helpful. One question - I'm trying to find a GPS app that I can use to make sure we stay on the Via Serrana. It sounds...

    From Gibraltar thru Ronda to Seville

    Did you wind up doing this walk? We're thinking of doing the same in Fall 2023. We've walked to Finisterre, so we are thinking Via Serrana, Via de la Plata, Camino Sanabrés, and then Camino Inglés backwards. We're figuring 9 weeks including an average of one rest day per week. Thoughts?
