    Mozárabe from Almería with a stroller?

    Very steep sections and narrow mountain trails in stages 2 and 3, stony river beds, lots of climbing in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada; my advice is to leave the stroller at home, or to find another camino more suited for pushing a stroller.

    After Medellín -- through Yelbes or Santa Amalia?

    Meanwhile I watched the whole series of videos from the French couple that walked from Almeria to Santiago. It was great footage for reliving my own walk of 2016. The continuation along Via de la Plata and Sanabres was nice as well. The couple just has reached Santiago despite a heavy fall of...

    After Medellín -- through Yelbes or Santa Amalia?

    The water level in Rio Búrdalo was about the same in April 2016. It was by far the easiest of the three that I did. The first one after Villaharta was the most difficult, with water above the knees. The second was longer but not deep. I skipped the crossing of Rio Zuhar for road walking as it...

    After Medellín -- through Yelbes or Santa Amalia?

    Provided that the locals are well informed. Also in 2016 an old man in a remote house (the same man that featured in later reports about the harassment of female pilgrims) warned me for the second river crossing in the mountain stage from Villaharta. As I had already successfully crossed the...

    After Medellín -- through Yelbes or Santa Amalia?

    Here is another Spanish item on the new route with illustrations that I can not read good. https://infoprovincia.net/2020/02/16/buenas-noticias-para-la-seguridad-de-los-peregrinos-en-el-camino-mozarabe-de-santiago-en-la-provincia-de-badajoz/ Crossing the river is at a "badén natural". My...

    After Medellín -- through Yelbes or Santa Amalia?

    Only thing I can add is that I made a mistake regarding the date. I was there in April 2016.

    After Medellín -- through Yelbes or Santa Amalia?

    In another forum (about safety along highways) I found this Spanish news report about improved signalisation between Medellin and San Pedro de Merida on the Camino Mozarabe. I understand that the Camino Associations have restored the old route that involves a crossing of the River Búrdalo, and...

    Best time to Start Walking the Mozárabe in Springtime?

    In 2016 I started early April and walked the Mozarabe from Almeria to Merida. I had excellent weather most of the time although it was cold in the mountains between Almeria and Granada. I met no other pilgrim hikers before the last week, but I think things have changed since and there are more...

    Sara’s Mozarabe Video Blog (Almeria to Moclin) Jan 2020

    After extreme weather the dry rivers bed can turn into wild rivers. You had them already behind you.

    Warning for solo female pilgrims to be aware on Mozárabe

    I remember the old man in a small farm not far from the spot where you can turn off to the main road. In April 2016 he tried to warn me for high water at the next river crossing and advised me to take the main road. I did not listen to him. Very good because the water remained well beneath my...

    Mozarabe from Almeria 13th February

    The website of the Cordoba amigos has a lot of information. http://caminomozarabe.es/ The Granada Amigos give less information. When I was there (2016) the signposting however was excellent.

    Mozarabe from Almeria 13th February

    This is the website of the Asociación Jacobea de Almería- Granada Camino Mozárabe . http://www.almeriajacobea.es/ And this is their guide. It is in Spanish but the albergues and their phone numbers are easy to find. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dMVIXVunE82lC-ON8x5o3ycAwL10g-TI/view There...

    Mozarabe from Almeria 13th February

    Some days I walked against a strong and cold wind. Very cold was the albergue in Hueneja, where I slept in my merino and used two blankets, and still felt cold. I presume that in February it will still be colder than in April, so take some warm clothes, extra layers, and so on.

    Mozarabe from Almeria 13th February

    There are reports from me and others in the first items of this forum. Some information is outdated as the Mozarabe gets more popular and there are some new albergues. The Amigos of Almeria are very helpful, and I advice you to consult their website and to contact them before you start because...

    Where to stay in Rioja

    Sorry, I only see your answer now, so my reply comes too late. I don't know if the alternative route is marked. In my memory the whole Camino Mozarabe from Almeria to Merida was excellently marked, even the parts between the olives where in the past pilgrims got lost.

    Where to stay in Rioja

    Hi Corinne. Have a good walk to Merida. I wonder which route you will take to Moclin as there is a new camino through Albolote , bypassing Piños Puente. There are two possibilities between Granada and Piños Puente, the "official" one through the suburbs or the more scenic "river route". Also a...

    Where to stay in Rioja

    Mercedes from the Almeria Amigos is really helpful. I arrived in the evening and my credential was at the hotel desk. The receptionist asked me to call Mercedes and in a telephone call she told me everything what I needed for the walk. The Amigo members have a WhatsApp group in which they...

    Where to stay in Rioja

    Wow. 15 people! That is more than I met in 2016 in one month between Almeria and Merida. Buen camino!
