That was my memory of Malaga (more accurately, the outskirts) in 1971, but I think the city has actually improved in some ways since then.A very impressive schedule.
My only memory of Malaga is as an over the top tourist beach destination with holiday condos overpowering everything. I would not have connected it with the Camino. I must have missed some of it.
And that's really a lot of yearning!!!...Sara, you and @alansykes are provoking a lot of yearning in some of us who are stuck at home! Buen camino.
get a coffee in Hostal Jose Carlos and look across the road there’s an arrow on the telegraph pole more or less opposit
Sara,
I have been watching your videos for a long time. Previous Caminos, N. Korea, the PCT. I appreciate your sharing and l have caught a habit from you neither good or bad......."Doin the dance, Doin the bridge dance" !!!
Sara I very been so enjoying your blog. UltreiaHi everyone!
I am finishing the ‘Ruta de la Lana’ Camino today. I will bus to Madrid in the middle of the night and fly to Malaga early tomorrow morning.
I’ll have the rest of tomorrow to sightsee in Malaga. Any accommodation recommendations?
Should I try to obtain a blank credential in Burgos today? I have sent an email to the Malaga amigos about the credential and stamp.
I have potentially nine full days of walking to get from Malaga to Córdoba. I would prefer to walk in 7-8 days to have sightseeing (and resting time) in Córdoba before departing to Canada (from Madrid). I’d appreciate any guidance regarding longer stages.
Also, are there any amazing ‘don’t miss’ albergues along the way?
It is about 9:45am and I have 35km to walk to Burgos- so that is it for now!!!!!
Cheers,
Sara Dhooma
Hi Sara, as George mentioned you can read my blog here. We walked in 2015. If not too late I suggest you collect a credencial in Burgos. In Málaga you may be able to pick one up in the cathedral library. There is a church of Santiago where you can get a stamp or get one in the cathedral. Málaga is a beautiful city with many museums and places of interest and has become a city well worth a visit, rather than a hub to pass through. Buen Camino
Your blog is fantastic!!!! It has been super helpful with guiding my Camino thus far. I stayed in Antequera last night and made sure my key worked in the iron gate before going out for the evening.
The city of Málaga should not be conflated with the Costa del Sol, IMO. It has some really beautiful parts. As you might imagine, they are in the historic center — Cathedral, Alcazaba, churches, squares, cafés,etc. And don’t forget the Picasso Museum, though I have never been there unfortunately.
But more to the point, there seems to be a trend of lucky forum members who complete one solitary camino only to be able to head south and start again! Sara, you and @alansykes are provoking a lot of yearning in some of us who are stuck at home! Buen camino.
And that's really a lot of yearning!!!
You will have to post a video, of course!I am about to embark upon your Lana videos as I am planning this route for next spring. My camiga, with whom I will walk, has already watched them all and has written to me today that “we have to adapt her bridge dance”. I’m looking forward to seeing what that involves!
Buen Camino!
