Camino Mozarabe GPX file. Almeria to Merida

[Raymond Aquilina]

Dear Forum members,

I am planning to walk the Mozarabe route starting 1st October 2019.

I am aware that a GPS route is beneficial for this camino and I am trying to obtain a GPX file for this route.

Could anyone guide me where to obtain this. It will be of great help.

Thanks and buen Camino to all,

Ray

There is an excellent Spanish government website with GPS tracks for many Caminos including the Mozarabe branches. http://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/loadCamSan.do

The Dutch Society of St. Jacob has a download section with a GPX file for all pilgrim routes in Spain. Check it out here. Translate tool top-left corner. Good luck and buen camino!

It is very useful but some sections of the Mozarabe route have changed and it no longer agrees with the signposting in parts of the Mozarabe. I found the tracks from the Spanish government site more up to date and accurate.

The website for Almeria Jacobea has links to GPS tracks on the right side of the home page

Badajoz Jacobea has put a map of Spain on its site (perhaps it's the same data that Bradypus linked to above). You can zoom in on any section of any of the marked Caminos and click to download the tracks for that stage.

In general, the Camino is clearly marked. For most stages, GPS is a reassurance or a backup rather than your main source of directions.

Dear Forum members,

I managed succesfully to download all GPX files for the Mozarabe Route thanks to your useful tips and links.

To me this is a very useful tool especially knowing that this route is mostly a solitary one.

Meanwhile will be glad to connect with anyone planning to walk it next October.

Buen Camino,
Ray
