Accommodation in Almeria

[pinkwadingbird]

For those who have walked the Mozarabe starting in Almeria, any recommendations for a place to stay in Almeria? Preferably near the start of the route.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

We spent a night in La Pita guesthouse. Located in the Centro Historico. Nice place, has a kitchen as well. So far I remember it was about 30€ for a double room.

The Torreluz Senior, Tenor Iribarne 15, Almería 04001 is a pleasant hotel, centrally situated and reasonably priced. I booked it through booking.com and stayed for three nights before setting off. (There is a lot to see in Almería!) No hitches. Buen Camino, Tom

The Amigos Association’s guide lists both of those two places mentioned in earlier posts.

I usually like to start my camino with a night in a pensión to hope for a better jet-lag sleep, and I think we stayed in Pensión Americano, right off the main drag.

Almería has a LOT to see, if you are interested in doing some touristy things before the walk. The most interesting, IMO, were the castle and the tunnels that were used as bomb shelters during the Spanish Civil war.

The Amigos Association in Almería is the place to start, in fact, I don’t think anyone walks the Mozárabe from Almería without meeting them. They run all of the albergues up to Granada and are an extremely helpful group of people.

Lucky you, @pinkwadingbird, I love this camino!

Hi, what’s the best way to get in touch with the Amigios Association please?

Their website lists several options.

CAMINO MOZARABE DE SANTIAGO DE ALMERIA a GRANADA. PREMIO ELIAS VALIÑA 2019

Blog sobre el Camino Mozárabe de Santiago

www.caminomozarabesantiago.com

I would contact the association via WhatsApp to one of the two phone numbers listed. WhatsApp is by far the easiest way to get in touch on a day to day basis when you need to get info about getting into the albergues, etc.

Perhaps you tell them your plans in advance. Both ladies are very very welcoming, so you may want to meet them in person

Thank you. I didn't realize there was so much to see in Almería. I was so focused on the walking part of my journey that I haven't been paying much attention to other things to see and do in the area.
