    Travel from Barcelona to Somport

    The timetable for the local bus from Jaca to Somport is here: https://www.mavaragon.es/servicio-autobus/horarios-autobus-jaca-astun/ There is also information on the window at the Jaca bus station. I took the 12pm bus from Jaca to Canfranc Estacion in early November, and returned at 13.10. It...

    New resource for Camino Mozárabe

    Yes, I enjoyed the Mozarabe very much. I was alone, but had company on all nights in Albergues except for Tocon de Quentar. Most days there were at least two other people walking the Mozarabe.

    New resource for Camino Mozárabe

    I took the direct train that leaves Madrid - Atocha at 8.19am and arrives in Almeria at 2.30pm (Intercity - 00276). I booked the train from the Renfe website a few weeks before my trip.

    La Peza to Tocón de Quentar to Quentar to Granada A walk through the foothills of the glorious Sierra Nevadas with views up to the peaks and down into the valleys. The albergue at Tocón de Quentar is superb. The restaurant is open on a Sunday but is closed on Monday. A very quiet town after La...

    Baños Graena to La Peza Rain was forecast and rain it did. The rain was light but persistent. This was another beautiful walk, starting to get into the Sierra Nevada mountains. Some road walking to get up and over into La Peza. It appeared something is on in town, and sure enough, it is fiesta...

    Guadix to Baños Graena Today was a short and easy walk and very pleasant. I stopped for a coffee on the way out of Guadix. It was a lot easier getting out of the city than getting in - through the plaza and past some Roman ruins. The path goes past cliffs and through pine forest. I stopped for a...

    Alquife to Guadix Today was harder than expected. Especially the last 10 km. I saw the sun rise again, about half an hour after leaving Alquife. And some deer near a lake. I walked through the small town Jerez del Marquesado, then up and over a hill to Cogollos de Guadix. I found the bar and a...

    Hueneja to Alquife Today started with a bit of up to get out of town. Only 4 km to the first stop in Dólar. Unfortunately the bar was closed for renovations but the panadería was open. Then more up to Ferreira, more persimmons and the bar was open. More undulations to La Calahorra. This area...

    Abla to Hueneja Javier from Madrid cooked his family’s special rice recipe for Ramon the Hospitalier, Francisco from Seville and myself last night. Delicious. I set off around 7.30 with cloudy skies and the temperature cool. Very easy going on country lanes until Finaña. Finaña is a town on the...

    Nacimiento to Abla An easier day today - no mountains , clouds, 2 places to stop and a coffee and tostada to start. The bar in Nacimiento was open early from 7am so I had a coffee and tostada before sunrise. The trail followed the river on a well formed track. A few little cars and vans went...

    Albodoluy to Nacimento. I started early in pitch dark at 7am. I was having regrets walking in the river bed in the dark. But nothing went wrong and daylight slowly appeared. Beautiful walk through the river gorge. There was a steep up hill to the road. Then a short stretch on the road. I...

    Almeria to Rioja then unexpectedly to Alboloduy. I set off early to try to avoid the heat - already 20 degrees at 7am. I made good time out of Almeria, the route is very well signed. And also a little help from mapy.cz The river bed is dry and dusty, but easy going. I was in Rioja before 11am...

    I am setting out today from Almería. Thanks so much to Nely. There is a festival on in Guadix Oct 11 - 14 and she has booked ahead for me. I have stayed at her albergue, very comfortable and a great welcome. It is very warm, expecting 30 degrees so I am starting early. This camino has been a...
