    Late October/Early Nov Camino days out of Granada/Seville or(Malaga)

    Out of those alternatives, I would say the Mozarabe from Malaga to Lucena or Baena would be absolutely worth it (and this tip is from somebody who lives in Granada!). The Malaga branch in the mozarabe is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all.

    Planning to Walk the Camino Mozárabe de Málaga: Questions and Concerns

    actually, the dolmens are just outside town, they are marked in the map as "Conjunto Arqueológico Dólmenes de Antequera" the Tholos de el Romeral is a different place, quite interesting too, but it is a couple of hours to get there and return on foot. The main dolmens are the ones closer to...

    Planning to Walk the Camino Mozárabe de Málaga: Questions and Concerns

    it might do the trick , it does have Camino de Santiago and seems to include all stages of many different caminos but, if you have some experience with GPS on the mobile or go hiking often, I would get the full version and download maps to be able to use it offline without using data (and so...

    Planning to Walk the Camino Mozárabe de Málaga: Questions and Concerns

    actually, seing Martyduc's post above, I realized there is an app for mobile which lets you easily download all tracks! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orux.oruxmapsIGN&hl=es&gl=US&pli=1 This is the icon for the app: If you download the Malaga province and Cordoba...

    Planning to Walk the Camino Mozárabe de Málaga: Questions and Concerns

    Buenos días, compañero! GRRRREAT CHOICE! The Malaga branch is a surprise, and a beautiful one. Mind you, the first two days are quite hilly, beware. The path from Malaga to Antequera is very well marked, but if you type "camino mozarable wikiloc" in google, it will show quite a few choices...

    LIVE from the Camino Day twelve - Cordoba to Villaharta - who’s ahead?

    Beautiful photo of Alcalá la Real, did you have energy to go up that hill after the stage? As far as I can remember, the entrance to Alcalá is nothing like that (a beautiful town, like Alcaudete). Buen camino, compañero!

    Acequias - water management

    That is a great article, I would have never imagined the BBC minding about our Moorish irrigation sytems! I live in Sierra Nevada and am very familiar to them, we still use them today, some acequias make the water go a long, long way just by using the minimum incline to go over long distances...

    LIVE from the Camino BP starts from Málaga, June-July 2022

    I would not like to face the amazing descent to Antequera with all the previous climbs between Almogia, then Villanueva de la Concepción, then even higher to Torcal. I loved this part early in a winter morning, but it looked very different to a blazing summer afternoon like you did. Antequera is...

    LIVE from the Camino BP starts from Málaga, June-July 2022

    Buen camino, I did that part up to Baena en January on a T-shirt, it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I want to go back soon, it is peaceful and the Antequera region is fantastic, buen camino!

    Mozárabe from Almería with a stroller?

    There are quite a few stretches with loose gravel, you would have to "pull" the stroller behind you on those stretches, rather than pushing it (as you would do on a soft, sandy beach). I do not know if there are many exposed sections, though, that would certainly worry me! Summer can be brutal...

    Just back from Málaga!

    it is a great time too, Via Serrana, Camino del Estrecho or Mozárabe from Málaga are excellent options for winter. Only be careful about accommodation, it is in the middle of the olive harvesting season and there are lots of temporary workers and high demand on accommodation. Buen camino!

    Just back from Málaga!

    Hola Anthikes, a sunflower is sad... in JANUARY, when the seeds should be quietly sleeping underground, waiting for spring to sprout, it would be like finding a bear in January when it shoudl be hibernating, that is what I find sad about the sunflower in January...

    Málaga's new pedestrian bridge

    Cool, I have to go birdwatching there soon, hopefully! There are lots of observatories and wildlife in that area, perfect excuse for going to Malaga, even if the situation in Málaga is not the best at the moment.

    New albergue planned for Cabra railway station (Malaga route) - opening Nov 2020

    That was pretty much my experience on a sunny Sunday in the same route, the station in doña Mencía was packed with families, picnic, children playing with their new bikes... great atmosphere! And Cabra is a large town, it definitely is worth a stop, and the station is a BEAUTIFUL place for it...

    Just back from Málaga!

    Hola amigo! that is a realistic approach, you can do the sames stages as I did (although I would change Villanueva de Algaidas to Cuevas Bajas as destination, even if there is only one albergue in Cuevas Bajas and nothing else). You can also skip the first 10 km out of the city of Malaga and...

    Just back from Málaga!

    What I found sad is the fact ir is blooming so outrageously out of season

    Starting 29th May 2020 from Malaga

    Great choice, it might be hot in some parts of the Malaga route, beware! In case of heavy storms, be very careful with flash floods in the stretch between Antequera and Lucena. The first 2 or 3 days are quite hilly and demanding, quite surprising if you are so close to the sea, but the route is...

    Bag Transport on Mozarabe (Malaga - Cordoba)

    Not a month ago, very doubtful

    Camino Mozarabe from Malaga

    That arrow on the post is precisely the first one I saw when I started my camino one month ago! If you take a taxi, you can even go a bit further to the bridge over river Campanillas, will save you a couple of km of tarmac/wadi with rubble

    Camino Mozarabe from Malaga

    You can also take bus 21 and start walking in Junta de los Caminos, it will avoid about 10 km of tarmac, zebra crossings and heavy traffic.
