Té rojo is my preference when in Spain.
Leave the way we drink milk in the UK for when you are in the UK
If red isn’t available my second choice is Negra. Third choice is something else entirely. But never coffee, pah, nasty stuff!
For me the reason for attempting the Camino was for a challenge. I’d seen many people walking on my various motorcycle trips to Spain.
One day I was in a cafe and saw two very wet, very tired pilgrims and thought to my self…I should try that.
About 8 months later I verbalised my plan to my wife...
Another thank you from me for the information and heads-up.
We’re flying to Almeria on the 26th of February and plan to start the next day. As posted elsewhere, I’ll be walking and my wife will be cycling.
I’ve not booked accommodation in Almeria as yet but will be sure to contact Nely.
Keep...
My answer is both. Both long and short sleeves/legs are worth taking.
Try and buy clothing that wicks away your sweat and dries very quickly after washing.
Merino wool underwear works very well.
Take minimal items, wash regular, every day works for me. The quick drying stuff will be dry in an...
On my experience of walking from Seville to just shy of Salamanca, I’d say apart from the bits that went up or the bits that went down that it was completely flat. 🫣
Sorry, someone had to!!
Like some of the other responders, I’ve only stayed at Orisson. Just the once on my first Camino back in September 2017.
It was my first time in a mixed sex dorm…that was fine.
Luckily there were a few blankets to sleep under too. My lack of research meant that I didn’t have a sleeping bag at...
My experience of taking a bicycle on an aircraft has been fairly straightforward albeit only from the UK to Spain and back.
We used a large purpose built cardboard box which costs about £20. This then gets put in a recycling bin before the Camino and we then purchase another from the Spanish...
I’ve used various guides and apps for my previous walks but Gronze isn’t one of them. I’ll check that out and see if there is bike specific recommendations for route etc.
Using Peregrino Online earlier this year on the VdLP there were options for me walking and the other half cycling but they...
I’d like to get to Finistere. It’ll be the first time on a bike Camino after a few on foot. My partner prefers bicycles to walking boots.
I’ll take a look at the link, thank you.
By the lack of replies to your question I guess that not many people have cycled The Mozarabe from Almeria.
I am considering starting from Almeria in March ‘24 and have also found information scarce at best. Back to Google then I guess.
Try and go with the flow. Everyone does things differently.
If you are late to rise and late to start walking there may be less choice when you reach your days end.
My choice is to start at daybreak and enjoy the sun coming up, stop as and when for snacks and try not to stick to the prescribed...
I’m booked to travel on Friday, I’ve checked the Alsa website and can find nothing about strikes.
The OP says another Pilgrim told them. I can’t access the newspaper story without a subscription?
I used this guide back in 2020 (and this year for the last 10 miles in to Seville).
It was excellent and made the route much easier to follow.
It’s only online so I just left the page open on my phone.
