Granada to Cordoba in early September

[ajloughran]

Hi,
I arrive in Malaga on 3rd September, then onto Granada the following day.

I plan to take 6 or 7 days to walk to Cordoba.

I would appreciate any advice on weather at that time of the year.I have twice walked the Camino Frances in July and August and know how to deal with the heat, ie don't get too hot but I am not sure of the conditions further south.

I would also be grateful if some one could tell me where to get a credential (pilgrim passport) in Granada.



many thanks,
Arthur Loughran

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your wealth of information and the links.

I will not need to pack a Scottish sleeping bag then.

Hope you have a good time.

best,

Hello!
My husband and I walked from Granada to Cordoba in April 2010. Here ia my report from this walking: camino-mozarabe-and-via-de-la-plata/topic8801.html

We will continue from Cordoba to Marida this October. Anyone having some interesting information for that walk?
