    Wow, @p_mci, that is such helpful information! Thank you for taking the time to include all the details. I can just picture what a help that would have been to us.

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    That sounds great. I sent you a private message with some thoughts. Just click on the envelope symbol at the top right of your computer screen or at the top middle of your phone. That will take you to the conversation I started with you.

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    It sounds like this is going to be a very special time for you! How great to be able to meet your granddaughter in Adra. You'll have lots of stories to tell her. Re the trains, maybe you've already started by checking options on Rome2Rio...? To get from the main train station in downtown Malaga...

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    @Umwandert is absolutely right. This earlier Ruta de Fray Leopoldo (also signposted as the PR-A 258 Atajate a Jimera de Líbar) connecting Jimera de Libar, Atajate, and Alpandeire existed before the new Camino from Alpandeire to Granada was laid out. The older route is a very nice walk indeed -...

    GR221 (Ruta De Pedra En Sec / The Dry Stone Route) - Mallorca

    That is very useful advice for future walkers! I read your note about the pozo de nieve with great interest. We saw two of these in the Cazorla Natural Park in Andalucia this year. I had never seen one before. The one by the castle at Sierra de Segura was 20 feet deep!

    GR221 (Ruta De Pedra En Sec / The Dry Stone Route) - Mallorca

    Thanks for all the informative posts and the nice background on Robert Graves and family! Having enjoyed A Woman Unknown, I'm now off to read her brothers' books.

    GR221 (Ruta De Pedra En Sec / The Dry Stone Route) - Mallorca

    That route finding sounds challenging! But it sounds like you made a good decision by getting to the next stage. There are quite a few tracks for the GR 221 on Wikiloc. Would any of these help you? You would have to download the Wikiloc app using wifi if you don't already have it. Then if you...

    GR221 (Ruta De Pedra En Sec / The Dry Stone Route) - Mallorca

    Having greatly benefitted from your Ruta del Argar notes from Lorca, I'd definitely be interested in these!

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    I did a bit of checking on the two villages he mentions where he said you need to look nearby. It turns out there is a hotel in Huétor-Tájar, 4 km before Villanueva Mesía, and on the route of the camino. For Serrato, Cortijo Nuevo Alojamiento Rural is 2.3 km west of the camino if you turn left...

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    Juan Fuentes Gomez responded immediately to the public post I entered on the wikiloc route page and kindly offered to answer any questions people may have. You can contact him in the comments section of that wikiloc page (near the bottom of the page). His answer: Hola IslandWalker. Actualmente...

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    Sadly, Juan Fuentes Gomez does not have an email link on Wikiloc. But I emailed the vicepostulador listed on the Fray Leopoldo website. I'll let you know if there is a reply.

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    That is exciting news! I hope you will let us all know what the route is like as you walk it. I'll email Juan Fuentes Gomez tonight and let you know if he replies. I saw in the video clips on instagram that his group got their credentials stamped in the ayuntamientos in each village along the...

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    Unfortunately, I know hardly anything about the new route. I tried looking for information before I posted, but I think it is maybe too new to have much online. On the Wikiloc page for the complete route it says, "Proyecto piloto del Camino de Fray Leopoldo de Alpandeire a Granada. Primer...

    New camino route in Andalucia - Ruta de Fray Leopoldo

    Yesterday, a link popped up on my Wikiloc account that might interest others on the forum who are looking for a fall-winter-spring route in Andalucia. The Camino de Fray Leopoldo is a newly signposted route that runs from Alpandeire (a village near Ronda) to Granada. This is not a camino route...

    What a wonderful story. It sounds like just the sort of place we would love.

    Places NOT on any camino

    Parque Natural de Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas in the Andalucian province of Jaén is the largest protected area in Spain (and the second largest in Europe). Beautiful mountains and villages, and lots of walking trails, including two GR’s. Unmanned refuges for free overnight stays on the GR...
