I’m currently walking the Camino Mozarabe and thought I’d add a few notes on some of the places we have stayed and eaten in. I started the route alone with the aim of joining a friend in Granada who is going to walk with me to Cordoba. I expected to be alone but I’m currently walking with four other peregrinos, two from Spain, one from Austria and one from France. I speak Spanish fairly fluently which has being a great help. I contacted the Camino Association before I set off and they’ve been a great help. They tell me that there has been a significant rise in the number of peregrinos staying in the hostels this year. There are four peregrinos one day ahead with me and I believe there are a further seven one day behind. The arrangement for access to the hostels is that we send a WhatsApp message to one of the organizers and she sends us the code for the hostel for that day.
Day 1
I arrived fairly late in Almeria and spent the morning touring round the city and then walked the short first stage 2 to Rioja and stayed in the donativo hostel there. It is fairly basic with two dormitories. There is a small bathroom with toilet and shower and this was quite difficult to keep dry. There is just a microwave and no plates or cutlery. We ate in the bar Los Pirineos in the Main Street. They had a good range of tapas available and we paid about 7 euros for 3 tapas each and a drink. They are open at 8 in the evening for food and 7 in the morning. There are 2 small shops/supermarkets in the town.
Day 2
Walked to Alboloduy today. Stopped in Alhabia where there are 2 decent bars and a shop. When we arrived we looked at a Casa rural that is up a steep hill and costs 36 euros for 4 but the donativo hostel is much more spacious with a good kitchen, terrace and places to wash and hang clothing. There is a resident warden who is very quiet. The bar Zamarulo, by the bridge at the entrance to the town was open at 8.15 for food in the evening, a Wednesday, though I don’t think it is open every night. There is a supermarket in the town.
