This was exactly my plan for this year. I wanted to start in early April (mid-April at the latest) from Almería, but had to change plans once it became clear that starting by then was not feasible because of virus restrictions. As @peregrina2000 says, spring is the best time for a south-to-north walk for weather (as you will move further away from the hotter areas as it gets closer to summer) and wildflowers. Summer will be too hot in the south and if you start in autumn, you might have poor weather by the time you reach Galicia.I’m in the very early stages of planning a long Camino starting in Almeria (Mozarabe) to Merida (VDLP) to Granja de Moreruela (Sanabres) and then onto SDC and Finisterre and Muxia.
Also, check out this thread:Hi everyone,
Thankyou all so much for the detailed responses! This is a great start for me. I’ll have a read and will get back to you with more questions as I go.
Very greateful, Thankyou again!

So long as we’re talking rest days on this epic camino, Granada, Córdoba, Salamanca and Zamora are also decent candidates!Very good route(s). When you come to Merida, have a rest day and be a tourist: Lots to see:

Indeed: They are all gems of Spain!So long as we’re talking rest days on this epic camino, Granada, Córdoba, Salamanca and Zamora are also decent candidates!
I've noticed that the link to the latest guide often gets updated on the association's Facebook page first. And the Facebook page is where they post weather alerts and other timely updates, so it's worth having the link:I would keep careful eyes on the Mozárabe guide on the Almería Association website. They update it every month.
The association posts a new version of the guide on their web page every month. So make sure to get the most recent version before you walk. http://www.almeriajacobea.es/. See the blue link over on the right side “Guía de Almería-Mérida. Vs. Mayo 2021.”
Great questions Tara and I will be taking note of all the advice given.Hi everyone, please feel free to direct me to the appropriate thread if this has already been asked.
I’m in the very early stages of planning a long Camino starting in Almeria (Mozarabe) to Merida (VDLP) to Granja de Moreruela (Sanabres) and then onto SDC and Finisterre and Muxia. I will have no time limit.
Has anyone here done that combination in one go?
What time of the year did you start?
Ive started looking at resources but always happy for blog recommendations, apps, guides etc.
I’m in Australia and we’re not going anywhere for a while so just planning and seeing what’s possible at this stage. Probably not getting on a plane until 2022 at the earliest!
Thanks in advance. I’m open to all wisdom you want to impart

This is exactly the Camino I’ve been planning!!!! However, because of a foot injury, I can only do it in the Fall of 2022. Privately message me and I’ll share what I have planned.Hi everyone, please feel free to direct me to the appropriate thread if this has already been asked.

You will need double vaccination for sure. Look at health insurance also. Ongoing testing is very expensive. The reason I did not choose the Spring is because rivers tend to be higher for crossing !@Babyboomergirl Thankyou! I'm hoping for April 2022 here but also adjusting my expectations as the news trickles through!
In addition, a good knowledge of Spanish ( Andalusian accent from You tube) will serve you well.Mozarabe to Compostela? What an excellent plan.
Your first stop should be the Camino Mozarabe forum:
There you will find resources such as:
My stages on the Mozárabe from Almería -- April 2018
Sara’s Mozarabe Video Blog (Malaga to Córdoba)
An overview of the Camino Mozárabe from Almería with resources, Part 1
... as well as links to blogs and photos and the like.
When you are set to go, you will also receive tremendous support from the association in Almeria, who publish the only guide you really need (at least as far as Merida) with regular updates on their facebook page.
Awesome, thankyou! I am not sure when I will be going - probably next year when fortress Australia gets opened up again. Oh yes and I am already double vaxxed due to being in health care.This is exactly the Camino I’ve been planning!!!! However, because of a foot injury, I can only do it in the Fall of 2022. Privately message me and I’ll share what I have planned.
That's for sure. We knew nothing about Merida when we arrived there at the end of the Mozarabe. Wow, what a wonderful town with so much to explore, and just a nice 'vibe'. It's on my long list of 'favourite' Spanish towns. Looking forward to going back when we are on the VdeLP / Sanabres in April (hopefully).Very good route(s).
