Accommodation in Nacimiento (in between Alboloduy and Abla)

[peregrina2000]

Just heard from a very happy forum member that it is now possible to split up the 28 km stage between Alboloduy and Abla with a stop in Nacimiento. Thanks to the Association's efforts, a private option has opened up there, 18 € per person. I have contacted the Association to get more specific information to post, but if anyone is leaving soon, you should contact the Association directly and they will help you arrange it. More great news from the Mozárabe!

Buen camino, Laurie

Good to hear. I could use a stop after the steep and narrow climb up from Albodoloy.... But that aside: What facilities, besides accomodation, exist in Nacimiento ? I am thinking of cafe, restaurant (Dinner), Tienda, etc. I looked it up on Google Earth, but found nothing. Do you know?

Good questions, I have written to the Association and will report back on whatever I find out. My guess is that the private person who is offering accommodation will also want to have food available, but I will get as much info as I can and report back.

I was thinking along the lines of the possibility of cooking myself/having a meal in the albergue/place, having a cafe in the village (for dinner), and a place to sit down for a glass or 3 with my favorite refreshment after my day's walk.

The Mosarabe is indeed a charming and interesting Camino. I would encourage more people to do it.

It was possible last year, too. There is an albergue in Ocaña, 21 km after Alboloduy, and about 8 km before Abla. I stayed there last year - the albergue was good but the services in town were limited. I wandered into the old folks centre and got something to eat, but the choices were very limited, at least at pilgrim meal time. It was a case where you had to call/text the Association person and be told how to get in.

Better walk on then.

I'm pretty sure that this lunch was at a restaurant in Nacimiento.

This is really welcome news. There's a bar (Cafe Bar Centro) in Nacimiento which serves meals. I heard that the owner of the bar, whose name is Santiago, will run the private accommodation.

This should make it possible to walk from Almeria to Granada with daily distances less than 25km. (Alquife to Guadix is 24.3km, mostly on good paths and downhill. There is a Casa Rural at Cogollos de Guadix if you need to break up that stage, but it's not on the list of accommodations so I guess it's above the 25 Euros per night max. that the Association requires).

EDIT: Corrected name to Cafe Bar Centro

Raggy, you are absolutely right! The Café Bar Centro in Nacimiento is where the rooms are available. Phone 667 685 304

I stopped at Nacimiento on the 15th, had some tapas at the Cafe bar, so it's definitely an option.

Update from Bar Nacimiento — contact via WhatsApp at phone listed earlier in the thread.
It sounds to me like it’s a separate apartment, one room has four beds, one room has three beds, there are 11/2 baths, washing machine, kitchen, and living/ dining room. Seems like very nice people.
