- Time of past OR future Camino
- Francés and routes in Andalucia
We are walking in southern Spain right now, and a few days ago when we visited the birthplace of Fray Leopoldo in the village of Alpandeire, we had the good fortune to be able to talk with a great-granddaughter from his extended family. She gave us information about the pilgrimage route that has developed in his honor. She says it is mainly Spanish pilgrims who walk the route right now, but of course they welcome all. We plan to walk more of the route next month, and I will post additional information here when we get it. I have seen references to other villages being on the route in addition to Jimera de Líbar and Atajate, and also to a refuge being built in one of the villages. If you would like to see a few photos relating to Fray Leopoldo and also to the route, I’ve put some at the bottom of this journal page.
