I'm planning for then but not until 2021. I'd love to have a walking buddy, or to follow along virtually from here if you walk this fall.Hello, I live in Malaga and was thinking of walking the Camino from Malaga at least upto Cordoba (or possibly until Merida). I haven't yet reached out to the Amigos of Mozarabe to figure out if albergues would be open etc (and the situation being so fluid). My timing is flexible - I can spare 20ish days sometime in October or November. Is anyone else planning to walk the route around this time, and if yes, would you be interested in a walking buddy? And others who've walked the route before, any tips?
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I don’t have any info about the Malaga route at this time.Hello, I live in Malaga and was thinking of walking the Camino from Malaga at least upto Cordoba (or possibly until Merida).

That's exactly when I was planning to walk that route (or part of it), but I think the situation is too volatile at present. I'm in the UK, and of a certain age, so insurance could be expensive. But, then, worse next year after the end of the transition period!Hello, I live in Malaga and was thinking of walking the Camino from Malaga at least upto Cordoba (or possibly until Merida).

I still haven't decided whether to do this is October or not..but definitely up for it if I can find a walking + room cost-splitting buddy. And my timing can be flexible - anytime in October or November (or even December).
I've been following a friend online - He started in Cordoba and is now on the Via de la Plata (Cañaveral).do you happen to know if budget accommodations are possible from Cordoba to Merida this autumn?
I meant “upwards of 30 euros (likely 40 euros)” ...fat fingersHi @Sara_Dhooma the amigos said to budget upwards to 30 euros a night since the municipal albergues are closed and (atleast on the Malaga- Cordoba) stretch, there seem to be very few private albergues. I’ll be doing my research on the current status and cost of accommodation on the route (hopefully in the next few days) and will share back anything I find.

For our first camino and after reading someone's (not you Raggy) advise on Pilgrim Prices, we did just that on one of nights. LOL. Never again. The look we got, and the response (same price, at least not higher haha) made sure we never did that again. TBH, coming from Australia, the prices seemed quite cheap anyway. And after the lock down I definitely wouldn't think of asking for a cheaper price. But I realise not everyone has that luxury...It never hurts to ask if there is a pilgrim price. You can often find a hostal or pension that will offer rooms to pilgrims for less than 25 Euros.
FYI - I read on one blog yesterday that the albergue in Merida itself is operating.
I am really sorry to hear that someone made you feel embarrassed to ask about a pilgrim discount. If someone in business acts like it's vulgar to discuss money ... I don't think they should be in business.The look we got, and the response (same price, at least not higher haha) made sure we never did that again.

Have you seen the thread where @amancio talks about the places he stayed on his recent walk? His list looks very useful.I could find decent accommodation all along except in one stretch - Villanueva de Algaidas or Cuevas Bajas. All hotels/pensiones I could find were way off the Camino. If anyone has recommendation or places they've stayed in (the stretch between Antequera and Lucena), do let me know.
Which Camino are you planning to walk? The albergue situation seems to be different depending on the Camino (and whether it is a municipal albergue or a private one)I'm on the verge of booking a ticket. How does one find out which alberges are open?
Thanks for the informative write-up and for taking the time to put in the very useful accommodations info. Now I'm getting ready to enjoy your blog with all those beautiful photos!Hello all, I got back yesterday after doing the Malaga - Cordoba stretch over the last 8 days. It was a beautiful but solitary route. ... More details on my blog, if anyone's planning to walk this route, and of course, I'm happy to answer any q's. Buen Camino!
Hello all, I got back yesterday after doing the Malaga - Cordoba stretch over the last 8 days. It was a beautiful but solitary route. The accommodations turned out to be fine (and generally clean and of good quality). I have included the list of places I stayed in below. I thought of continuing on to Merida, but with the new 'state of alarm' in Spain, and given that I was getting tired of my own company, decided to return from Cordoba.
Thanks again everyone for all your help! More details on my blog, if anyone's planning to walk this route, and of course, I'm happy to answer any q's. Buen Camino!
Thanks so much. If I can be of help with any planning, pls don’t hesitate to askHi KayVee
I'm planning a Camino from Malaga to Cordoba this October and I came across your blog. It is a great write up, wonderful reading. I love your sense of humor!
All the best to you!
