Thanks for your story from the trail. You give a great account of your experience and it was a pleasure to be reminded of so many of the places along this lovely route. Buen Camino
Thank you for your kind feedback, we're pleased to have assisted and we hope that COVID will allow you (and many others) to start your Camino next year.
Buen camino
The Via de la Plata is possibly our favourite Camino, possibly because it is where discovered the joy of long-distance walking. We also walked with two French pilgrims for a while on the route and have become very good friends. Enjoy the journey and we hope that your Aussie friends are able to...
We can't emphasise how helpful the association was. They are doing all they can to support pilgrims and promote the route so as to support the local economy and provide an income for locals.
Enjoy your journey
Buen camino!
Also, just noticed that you walked from Le Puy in 2005. We walked the Camino Frances in the same year and have recently posted an account of our first Camino (COVID-19 has some thin silver linings):

Your draft route has a nice line to it. the route from Malaga is slightly shorter than from Almeria, but over that distance it's probably immaterial. It'll be a fabulous adventure, enjoy!
We've written a short article on walking the Camino Mozárabe. Word limits prevent us from publishing the entire article here but here's a summary of the five points. Have a look at the full article which has more detail, links to useful websites and guides, etc.
