Thanks for the reply. Your advice is much appreciated and only leaves me with a few days to improvise. No fear!I don't have information for the first few days from Granada as I walked last year from Malaga. The trails merge at Baena. So after Baena I have included lots of information in my blog about accommodation. You are welcome to take a look - see the link below.
Buen camino!
Thanks Amancio, that was what I was wondering about. Never mind, I can always get a bus back to Granada, stay the night and return in the morning to Pinos Puente...The Pinos Puente albergue is not helping pilgrims any more, that is all I can think about now... buen camino!
The Amigos from Almeria have a list that also includes albergues after Granada. Some towns (like Moclin) have not so expensive hostals. It seems that on this route a combination of albergues and hostals is the best option.

Hi Nick, I walked Granada to Finisterre in Sept -Nov 2012.........it was an amazing life experience, but it is a very lonely route, especially Granada to Merida. Accommodation might have changed in the past 3 years, but this is where I stayed in the first few days..........Pinos Puente at Hotel Montserrat, very near the entry to the town........Moclin stayed in a Casa Rural La Briza, received the key etc from Bar El Califato........Alcala la Real, stayed at Hospidaria Zacatin.............Alcaudette, stayed 2 nights at Spa Rueda.........Baena stayed at Hostal Rincon. Please PM me if you want any other places I stayed in. From Granada to Merida I only stayed in one albergue, and that was in Campanario. I never ever booked accommodation in advance. At the time I walked my Camino, albergues were almost non existent on the Mozarabe. However, I was quite happy to stay in Hostals or small Hotels. I found the Spanish people to all be so friendly and helpful, especially to someone who only had about 20 Spanish words !I'm intending to set off from Granada on March 27th and wander towards Santiago for a couple of months. Maybe I'll make it all in one go. Does anyone have any up-to-date tips on places to stay, especially the first few nights?
Laurie, I am considering, very seriously, leaving from Granada sometime in March 2017. I am worried about walking to Merida on my own, loneliness, chances of getting lost etc. When are you planning to start? Would you consider company for the first couple of weeks? Sorry to go off topic NickW.
Jacki.
Was it something I said?Hi, Walli Walker, let's keep in touch as things develop. I will not be able to start till May, though. Would love company!
Alan, are you definitely on for Almería in May 2017?Was it something I said?
Alan
Be brave. Life is joyous.

If you are content to have me for company, I will be there. But as someone who does not speak Spanish, who does not use a GPS, and who does not carry any electronic gear other than a phone, I would understand if you wished to find a fellow pilgrim who was more in tune with what you are used to.Alan, are you definitely on for Almería in May 2017?
well, you can push a bit further to some other town, or maybe find some hostel in Pinos Puente. As a Granada local, all I can say is Pinos Puente would not be one of my favourite places on earth, it is not particularly charming to say the least.
this said, when you leave Granada, I suggest taking the River Genil route instead of the Atarfe route, it has a lot more nature landscape, going through Atarfe involves lots of tarmac, traffic lights... urban route
Thanks Sandra, very helpful. I'm kind of looking forward to a bit of lonely, or at least aloneness...Hi Nick, I walked Granada to Finisterre in Sept -Nov 2012.........it was an amazing life experience, but it is a very lonely route, especially Granada to Merida.
