    Via de la Plata or Camino Mozarabe?

    Dear Michal, Yes, the walk from Granada to Cordoba is -in my opinion - harder than the first week's walk from Seville. This is one of the reasons I recommend that you try this next. Waymarking on Granada-Cordoba is a little patchy (compared with every other camino I have walked). The CSJ guide...

    Via de la Plata or Camino Mozarabe?

    Hello Michael, Well, I walked Seville-Salamanca-Santiago in 2008 and Granada-Cordoba-Merida in 2010. Seville-Salamanca-Santiago had slightly more folk, the stages were long, but the vast majority of the villages had some facilities. I enjoyed this and made some wonderful friends...

    Camino Mozarabe from Granada to Cordoba

    Many thanks for posting all of this Bjorgts, I walked the same route in April and wuold echo your comments. Now with this particular point, let me try and offer some advice.... This section between N432 and Eremite Nueva is frustrating, as the arrows abruptly end and you are wandering around...

    Granada-Cordoba-Merida Route

    Answering your questions: 1. yes, you do need the updates on this route - you can get them from the CSJ website at http://www.csj.org.uk/update-viadelaplataB.htm 2. There are shops in most towns, villages which the route goes through. But these can be very dispersed -- the Raju guide gives a...

    Granada-Cordoba-Merida Route

    Safety will not be an issue as I hardly saw anyone else on the route. Initially, most of the walk is through farmed land - olive groves in particular. I guess if you find yourself a discrete spot, you will be fine. Gyro

    Granada-Cordoba-Merida Route

    Dear all, OK, then a final report. I made it to Monterrubio after 11 days of actual walking. [I had to leave the camino a little earlier than expected in order to travel home by bus. Another Icelandic volcano story...] In general, the 7 days between Granada and Cordoba were excellent, but tough...

    Granada-Cordoba-Merida Route

    Dear All, 6 days into the camino, having started in Granada, and I should reach Cordoba tomorrow. This is a pretty tough route - lots of hills between Granada and Cordoba - so progress is slow. There are also not too many towns along the way, so I have to be well prepared. So far, I have not...

    Granada - Merida-Salamanca

    Yes, it is a strange feature of pilgrimage life. I remember on the Via de la Plata, a genuine down-and-out (is the Spanish "transuente" accurate here?) turned up at the door of the pilgrim's hostel and was refused entry by the hospitalera. On one hand, all the pilgrims were relieved that they...

    Granada - Merida-Salamanca

    Dear Bjorg, thank you so much for posting. It would indeed be wonderful if we met up on the camino. Like you I have the Alison Raju Guide for Seville-SdC. and I intend to get the Granada-Merida supplement. Kind regards Gyro

    Granada - Merida-Salamanca

    Dear Solong, I had heard of the book, but have not read it. I guess a trip to the library is on the cards. Many thanks for the advice Gyro

    Granada - Merida-Salamanca

    Good morning everyone, I'm Gyro - a elderly Scot who has plodded along a few caminos in his time. The Camino Frances was the first (12 years ago), then Via de la Plata from Sevilla to SdeC(4 years ago), and finally the Camino Portuguese last April. I popped into the Camino Travel Centre when I...
