Hola, Kevin,i am planning to start from Seville and am flying into Malaga 5 May. Is it worth it to start in Malaga? Any suggestions?

Hola, Kevin,
Starting in Malaga would mean that you walk Camino Mozarabe to Merida where it connects with Via de la Plata. Other "official" starting points of Camino Mozarabe are Jaen, Alcaudete and Granada:

Otherwise search though Camino Mozarabe subforum or:

Anyway Buen Camino!
stick to my original plan and start in SevilleI think @Anniesantiago means walking from Malaga which I understand to be the camino Mozarabe.
Maggie's blogs are absolutely something you should read. They are on the same quality level as blogs from @Undermanager (currently on Camino de Madrid) for example and not to mention @peregrina2000 of courseMagwood made a weblog about her walk from Malaga and I got the impression that it is not boring.

Thank you Carel5. Based on your comments and Magwood's I would have started from Malaga but in the past few days my first Camino friend reached out and will be in Seville so I think The Camino spirit wants me to start there.Magwood made a weblog about her walk from Malaga and I got the impression that it is not boring.

Only you must be prepared on meeting not so many other pilgrims.
Indeed you will see some olives in the first days but always with changing backgrounds of hills and mountains.
Last year I walked from Almeria to Merida so I joined the Malaga route in Baena.
Especially Cordoba to Merida was through an amazing dehesa landscape.
Yes, every Camino has some boring parts, wherever you start.
The Camino is different from French and British long distance paths that avoid big cities and long straight roads.
From Sevilla there are also long stredges without shade. The only solution is to walk in the spring or the autumn and avoid the summer heat.
