    Planning on walking Camino Mozarabe in March

    Hi Carole, I walked this Camino in 2012......I doubt there was an off-track option.......it was a hard day, but if I survived you will too !! I was 65 at the time, had a painful foot, struggled on the last 6-8 kms of bitumen.......was tempted to hitch a ride from the cars that passed me.....but...

    Camino Mozarabe 2016

    Hi Nick, I walked Granada to Finisterre in Sept -Nov 2012.........it was an amazing life experience, but it is a very lonely route, especially Granada to Merida. Accommodation might have changed in the past 3 years, but this is where I stayed in the first few days..........Pinos Puente at...

    Campanario Albergue municipal La Estacion

    I walked the Mozarabe in 2012 and stayed a night in the albergue beside the train station at Camponario. At that time it was a very functional building with about 20 -30 places. I had a room to myself, with 2 bunks in my room. Two Dutch ladies shared another room. We had cotton sheets ...

    Camino Mozárabe from Granada in September/October 2014

    LT, on September 19, 2012 I walked out of Granada and it was 34 degrees. I took 19 days to reach Merida, with one rest day in Alcaudete ( that was only day 4 and I was already exhausted !! ) and another in Cordoba. I did not meet any pilgrims . I met my first Peregrino as I walked out of...

    How many pilgrims on Mozárabe on may?

    Hi Agnes, Yes, I walked the Mozarabe to Merida, then joined the VDLP to Montamarta ( just past Zamora) where I joined the Camino Sanabres and walked via Ourense to Santiago. After 3 days in Santiago I continued on to Finisterre. I arrived in Santiago on day 60. I was fortunate to have plenty...

    How many pilgrims on Mozárabe on may?

    I walked the Mozarabe last Sept/ Oct and did not meet any pilgrims. This is an isolated trail , so I would be very surprised if you met any pilgrims. Good luck on your Camino. Sandra

    Camino Mozárabe September-October 2011

    Hi Janice, I walked the Mozarabe last Sept/Oct. Both sections you asked about have pros and cons-----however, if you can only do one section maybe Cordoba to Merida would be better, as I believe there is less chance of becoming lost on that section. It seems to me , that everyone who has...

    LIVE from the Camino Live on the Mozarabe contd from Mozarabe Forum

    Hi Nalod, Nearly there !! I remember my last day, from San Pedro to Merida----it could have been a beautiful day but I was so focussed on my left foot, I could hardly walk. The walk into Merida, from the outskirts, is quite long but quite beautiful. You will probably pass the Touristico...

    LIVE from the Camino Live on the Mozarabe contd from Mozarabe Forum

    Hi Nalod, Not far to go now-----Merida is almost upon you. I hope you managed to get past Campanario , and now you are probably in Don Benito. Are you going to Santa Amalia after Don Benito. Following the advice of another Forum member, I did to avoid a potentially difficult river crossing...

    LIVE from the Camino Live on the Mozarabe contd from Mozarabe Forum

    Hi Nalod, By now you have probably reached Monterrubrio, or further. Hopefully you have managed to get past all the water. You did so well to find your way the other day when you had no idea where you were. Getting lost is a horrible experience-----I got hopelessly lost after Moclin-----I...

    LIVE from the Camino Live on the Mozarabe contd from Mozarabe Forum

    Hi Nalod, I hope the journey is progressing. I wonder if you will meet any other Peregrinos----when I walked in Sept/Oct I did not meet anyone until day 13. I met 2 Dutch ladies who were walking for 2 days but then they got the train to Merida. They were not Peregrinos. After that I did...

    Granada to Merida in Mid February

    Hi Nalod and Trevhock, I am with you in spirit !! Nalod, because you haven't reached Campanario yet, I thought I would give this little bit of info in case you are not aware of it. When you leave the albergue in the morning, you do not need to go right back into the town. There is another...

    Granada to Merida in Mid February

    Hi Nalod, Just a bit more info for your journey to Merida--- VILLAHARTA---after walking to Villaharta, I decided that 39 kms the next day was far too much, with the heat and no where to get water, so I decided to try for a taxi to Alcaracejos. If you decided to do this, turn left after you go...

    Granada to Merida in Mid February

    Hi Nalod, I was just checking my CSJ guide and noticed I had written a bit of extra info for Cerro Muriano. Later in my walk I met someone who had walked through Cerro Muriano----they told me that opposite Bar X, on the left, further down the road , there is a house owned by a Dutch couple...

    Has anyone walked from Granada to Santiago?

    Hi Bem, Yes, I did walk from Granada to Santiago last Sept/Oct/ Nov. It really was an amazing life experience. I returned home about 8 weeks ago, and have been slowly trying to process the experience. I walked via Merida, and then up the VDLP to just past Zamora where I joined the...

    Granada to Merida in Mid February

    I walked from Granada last September. The weather at that time was very hot. Consequently, I found the beginning very difficult. However, it is a beautiful walk to Merida, although very lonely and has long stages between villages/ towns. The Spanish people were so kind and helpful. I always...

    Camino Mozarabe from Granada to Cordoba

    Hi Arthur, I have just completed the Mozarabe 3 days ago, and am currently in Merida having a rest before starting off again in the morning on the VDLP. The terrain is very tough in places , but there is no danger of falling off a ridge. The really difficult days are in the beginning when it is...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking from Granada

    Hi All, I have arrived in Hinojosa del Duque, and met the first walkers since I left Granada. The 2 Dutch ladies will be on the trail tomorrow, although they leave later. It will be a comfort to know I am not alone. They are walking to Merida. The trail has been a little easier these past 2...
