Here's an interesting article on Gronze (in Spanish) about the Asociación Jacobea de Almería - Granada Camino Mozárabe.

I too walked this route many years ago and remember low numbers and a very individual experience. Still one of my fondest memories.Thanks to @C clearly for the link. I walked the Mozarabe branch from Malaga in winter 2019. Certainly a road less travelled and very much to my taste. The article does seem to have the "purist" tone that is common in Gronze articles. As a bit of a fossil and a pedestrian fundamentalist I have no problem with their slant on things. Of all the Caminos I have walked in recent years the Mozarabe was closest in spirit to my early Camino experience. Very low numbers and simple albergues. My sort of route.

@ogr1960 - What a wonderful 80 days you have in store.I'm planning to start the Mozarabe from Almeria to Merida this March. I've yet to reach out to the Association, but I've read so many positive things about them, the support they offer peregrinos, and their efforts to build and maintain the infrastructure along this route. I'm hopeful for an amazing experience. After the Mozarabe, I hope to walk the San Salvador, then meet up with my wife in Barcelona for several days before heading to Carcassonne to walk the Voie du Piémont, cross the Pyrenees, and finish in Puente la Reina via the Aragones. This will hopefully all take place over a roughly 80-day period between late March through mid June. That's the plan at least.....
Thank you so much! I wish you the same! Fingers crossed we can live our dreams this year!@ogr1960 - What a wonderful 80 days you have in store.
Thé Mozarabe and Aragones are two of my favourite Caminos - though I seem to have a lot of favourites. We have walked the Mozarabe (Granada to Merida) the Aragones (continuing from Arles Way) and the Salvador.
I agree with all the favourable comments above about the amigos on the Mozarabe and the welcoming hospitality of locals. And some truly fabulous towns along the way. We knew a little about Granada and Cordoba but Merida was a surprise. What a wonderful town. Highly recommend a day or two there.
We also plan to walk the Piemont this year, starting in Narbonne on 1 April. So we will be a few weeks ahead of you.
Buen camino. Safe travels.
