    New (2017) Branch of Mozárabe -- Through Trujillo - Detailed update in 2023

    (Continuing) Day 7. La Aldea del Obispo to Torrejón el Rubio. 27 km. This was the day of motorcycles whizzing by noisily, all day long, hundreds of them, while I walked on the shoulder of the familiar EX-208. The road is mostly straight, through dehesa, following a Via Pecuaria with bridges...

    New (2017) Branch of Mozárabe -- Through Trujillo - Detailed update in 2023

    Camino Mozárabe Variante via Trujillo: I just walked this variante in March. Here is some information on my stages which may help others interested in this alternative to walking the Mozarabe to Merida. I mostly followed the recommendations of Jose Antonio Ortega Ruiz, who has the Facebook...

    What luck you had! And how beautiful! Where did you stay before Trujillo? On the first stage of the variant?

    New (2017) Branch of Mozárabe -- Through Trujillo - Detailed update in 2023

    When I walked the Mozarabe in the fall of 2019, I had wanted to try walking this Variante via Trujillo, but didn't. I walked the more popular route to Merida and then north on the Via de la Plata until I ran out of time and headed home. This month I will start the Mozarabe again, this time...

    Is Zpacks Vertice rain jacket worth the investment for ultralight hikers?

    The Camino Frances is not the only Camino. The lesser travelled caminos can have bushy thorny sections where the path is more like a goat trail!

    LIVE from the Camino Day 34 - Arrived in Amarante

    PilgrimPilar - Beautiful photos. Thank you. I'm hoping to walk the Mozarabe via Trujillo in early March. Any advice on your stages on that variant? From Magacela to Aldeanueva del Camino? Especially the first stage after Magacela? I suppose I could walk a 44 km stage, but I'd rather not.

    Is Zpacks Vertice rain jacket worth the investment for ultralight hikers?

    For me, being ultralight is very important for my comfort. I have a zpack rainjacket (and rain pants), have worn them on 6 caminos now, more than 4000 km, and they are both still in good shape. I walk shoulder seasons so rarely have a problem with sweating. In fact I often wear the jacket as...

    Albergue in Encinas Reales?

    Thank you ever so much for this concise summary. I am excited about my upcoming walk. I'm used to calling ahead, but it's nice to have information from a fellow pilgrim who has walked so recently.

    Albergue in Encinas Reales?

    Thank you! I'll hope to stay there early March. I was just now researching all albergues along the route from Malaga, and saw your post. Great timing for me to see this. Thanks again. Are you by any chance blogging/posting your walk, and listing places you've stayed?

    Planning to Walk the Camino Mozárabe de Málaga: Questions and Concerns

    The IGN app icon I see on my phone's app store is the same design, but different colors. Blue over orange, and is called Mapas de Espana Basicos. Is this the same app? Or more limited? It doesn't say anything about 'Aplicaciones en Google Play" so I am thinking it does not have the same...

    Walking the Olvidado: A Solo Pilgrim's Experience and Accommodations Guide

    I can't speak for @Maggie5859 but If I had been able to do the mountainous variants, it would have added one day. I chose the low 16.7 km route between Guardo to Puente Almuhey (which is Stage 10A on the Camino Olvidado official app). The mountainous variant , Stage 10B, is 31.7 km, but is...

    Walking the Olvidado: A Solo Pilgrim's Experience and Accommodations Guide

    Continuing: Day 16. La Robla to La Magdalena. 17 km. Keys to Albergue Municipal at nearby Bar El Cruce, just before the bridge. 10 E. 685 920 895. This albergue is super modern and interesting architecturally. It has a full kitchen, one large bathroom, maybe beds for 9 or 10. Bar El...

    Walking the Olvidado: A Solo Pilgrim's Experience and Accommodations Guide

    Camino Olvidado: Bilbao to Congosto (near Ponferrada) In preparing for this walk, I felt overwhelmed by the multiple sources of information and found sorting through it challenging. Much of it was from the pre-pandemic era. The multiple variants add to the complexity. Also, much of the...

    Parador resumes the “free meal” tradition

    Maybe because I was first pilgrim of the morning, and there was no line behind me, the voucher was not stapled to the queue ticket. I was asked if I wanted it, and nodded happily. Of the six of us who showed up for the lunch, one had been given 2 vouchers by a friend, and hadn't found anyone...

    Parador resumes the “free meal” tradition

    I was #1 three weeks ago for the free lunch at the Parador. It was my fourth time, 2 in the old days in the room between the garage entrance and the kitchen, and two in the real Parador restaurant. There were only six of us at the 10 person table; not many pilgrims that morning at the Pilgrim...

    Alcalá del Júcar

    I also walked right through this town, as part of my stage Alatoz to Casa Ibanez. It was a gorgeous gorge but I didn't regret not spending the night in Alcala de Jucar. I had a picnic lunch in the park by the river just near the bridge. I'm more of a walk-on-through kind of pilgrim. Maybe I'm...
