Via Podiensis (2018)
Voie Nive Bidassoa (2018)
Camino Del Norte (2018)
Our flights are booked, and we're planning our return to the Camino.
My darling and I walked from Almería last year, starting on 22 September. We also walked the Jaén branch. Unfortunately, we had to interrupt our Camino as there had been a death in my darling's family.
We have decided to return to the Mozárabe, and walk once again from Almería, starting possibly on 24 April, rather than resume from where we had stopped in Castro del Rio. I think we're going to enjoy the spring colours.
When we get to Baena, our plan is to take a bus to Málaga, and after many grandchildren cuddles (our son and his family live in Málaga), we'll walk the Camino Mozárabe de Málaga back to Baena.
So this post is about the Málaga branch, and a few questions we have.
I am using a few references to plan the Málaga branch. Starting with the Asociación Jacobea de Málaga's website. I have found a guide book in Spanish which can only be read using calameo. I have also a PDF guide for the GR245, which I found on the Grand Senda de Málaga website.
As there is a wealth of information on this Forum, I have also read @Magwood 's blog, @Anniesantiago 's blog from Málaga to Cuevas, @amancio 's post, and more recently, @Bad Pilgrim 's account, as well as @dsharpe 's posts.
Those who know us know that we are a slow walking, distance challenged couple, so we hope to be able to report on our walk from that perspective.
I have a few queries:
- I can't afford to get lost: the extra km would possibly cause me to have to carry my darling and her backpack. So I generally use GPX tracks to ensure I am on the right path. Can anyone suggest GPX tracks, please?
- reading through some of the information, it appears that there is a bus, line 21, which would take us to Junta de los Caminos. For those of you who walked from the Cathedral or downtown, would you do it again? Is the walk through the suburbs of Málaga to be avoided?
- is it worth stopping two nights in Antequera to enjoy the sights?
Gracias! Thank you!
