    Nely closes La Estrella del Camino

    Nely is truly a wonderful lady. She gave me a great start to my Mozarabe Camino two years ago, offering advice and support, and always with a huge smile. She takes her role seriously, but with joy, love and with total dedication. She genuinely cares, and loves to hear what progress you are...

    I agree. In general, the sign marking is fantastic. However, there are odd occasions when you get five arrows passing through a tunnel, when there are no alternatives, and none at a T-junction when you have a decision to make. Usually, common sense prevails. As a general comment, when you get...

    One further thought is to take care in finding the route out of Pinos Puente. You walk for about 2km on the highway (or on a minor road parallel to it, it makes no difference) and then take a right turn to follow a river to Bucor and Olivares. I got that right turn wrong and ended up on the...

    You won’t regret it. But I’m now withdrawing my offer to pay your bill.

    Everyone I spoke to just found it tiring, as did I. Walking, zig-zagging, on soft wet riverbeds is far more exhausting than walking on dry dirt tracks. There’s nothing you can do about it, it just takes more effort and time. Your walking boots or trail runners are not suitable for this task, as...

    In Pinos Puente, book yourselves into the Hotel Restaurant Montserrat. Absolutely FANTASTIC and only €20 at the Pilgrim rate. It really is very, very special. Forget about Atarfe, cancel all the bookings you have there, and go to the Montserrat. If you don’t like it, I’ll pay your bill for you.

    I stayed in Moclin in Casa Higueral, which you will see covered extensively in my post a couple of days ago. It had a terrace and a swimming pool, and all for $20. The height of rustic luxury for pennies. I’m now in Baena having watched (and heard!) the Easter processions with all the constant...

    You mentioned a missing castle….here it is, the castle of Moclin.

    Yes, the village below is Olivares. This picture was taken on the lung-bursting climb into Moclin. If you have time, check my Facebook page for a thousand lovely pictures. I’m not taking credit for the loveliness, the countryside gets that credit.

    Hi Lana! The association is the same one you have mentioned. You are right that they are only responsible up to Granada, but that was sufficient for me. I assume that you have the April Albergue guide from the association with all the contact details of the Albergues and Hostals for the full...

    I have a tip for you: the dry river beds between Almeria and Abla aren’t dry, and several of us have had difficulty in crossing and re-crossing the streams. The life changer for me was a pair of beach shoes which I brought with me as casual wear in the Albergues. They let the water in and out...

    Good morning and Happy Easter live from the Camino Mozarabe. I’m currently towards the end of my second week of walking from Almeria, and I’m now halfway between Granada and Cordoba. The conditions over the past two weeks have been almost perfect for walking, beautiful sunny skies, but not yet...

    Planning a Mozárabe Camino Walk in 2022: Guide and Organization Confusions

    Thank you for this thread. I'm planning to walk the Mozarabe starting in April, and this has certainly helped to clear up the confusion for me.
