Malaga to Cordoba

[david46]

Given the give-away prices on Ryanair at the moment (£18 return Newcastle to Malaga) I was thinking of few days on the Mozarabe starting from Malaga. Any ideas what conditions might be like in early December?

They’ll be significantly better than in Newcastle. Get it booked!

It should be pretty good - I think Sara Dhooma walked in December 2018 - she has videos of each day https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...-mozarabe-video-blog-malaga-to-córdoba.59299/
It seemed cold at night but fine in the day. (Having been in Malaga/Seville/Cordoba in January it was cold at times - particularly if foggy)
And if the weather turns out miserable then take a bus and head back to Malaga and enjoy tapas and museums!

Yes, you're right David....

Yes, I checked out Sara's videos and she seemed to have a great time. Too hot even on Day 1. Thanks for the input.

Hi mate, during the last few weeks, a few people, mainly fellow Brits have thought I'm a Geordie. I, actually hail from Glasgow. I suppose it's the broad accents we both have. Although, I'm prettier than your average Geordie! Anyway mate, having cycled down from girona and heading north at Alicante, I've noticed the weather in the area you plan to visit, is infinitely more appreciative. I'm heading back towards that sun, just as fast as my legs can take me. So, when you pass a pretty, flying Scotsman, going in the opposite direction, you'll know.....exactly who I am. We can talk football! Well....mibeez not. Anyway, it's far more sunnier than the uk. Cheers. J

Good to know. However, I live in Sunderland so that makes me a Makem rather then a Geordie. Which in turn means that I can't talk football 'cos that's not what Sunderland are playing at the moment. They're playing sh..e! But since I'm from Aberdeen originally I'll let you buy the pints while we don't talk about it. That's fair 'cos Glaswegians are just Aberdonians with the generosity squeezed out of them.

hi mate, you're right about the generosity being squeezed I'm glad you never took me to task about being so pretty. I suppose, me being from the auld country, that makes sense! Everybody knows, I was the prettiest wean in my street. Wear Side/Tyneside both BRAW areas! Pints are for wimps or rangers fans. The law change is in the offing. After BREXIT it's officially gallons. Enjoy your walk. Wild

Right, that's it. Flights booked and will start on Tuesday morning (3 December). Long range weather forecast looks good. My first solo, so hope to meet people although I have my doubts...

Buen Camino.

I'll be there from December 14th and will read about your experiences with great interest.

I was going to let you know how it went but something got in the way - oh yes, lockdown. The walk was brilliant. Late flight arrival meant that I couldn't get into my AirBnB so I ended up sleeping in someone's garage in the centre of Malaga. Weather was brilliant throughout and I met a couple from Italy - Marco and Laura - who I kept pace with for the next ten days, meeting up at the same albergues/hotels each evening. A very good camino as far as Cordoba from where I took the bus back to Malaga for the return flight and Christmas. Highly recommended.

Thank you! Another year…

I walked a portion of it. Lots of photos of the trail in my blog here.
