Yes. As I gingerly descended, step by step, carefully placing each pole and each foot, I thought that if it were snow-covered my kids would be jump-turning down in a flash. I would say that was the hardest piece of Camino I have walked. But it was a beautiful day and I loved the terrain and scenery.in many spots the switchbacks were not much better than the straight down version
Sara has a patreon page that you can use to buy her beers. There is a link on the detailed descriptions attached to her videos on YouTube, I expect.I have watched all of them now, wow!I can't imagine being there alone, you are some tough lady
How do you finance your travels and what does it mean when you thank some people for beers? I would love to buy a beer to you toobut I'm not likely to actually meet you

On trail is actually the best place to drink beer If you want to mitigate its weight-augmenting properties.I'm not her mother, but.....
It worries me slightly that she drinks more and more beer on trail, putting on weight which will be hard to get rid of.
Actually the rock climb wasn't too bad. It was steep and required a bit of scrambling on that very short section. The downhill later on was worse!that rock climb (day3) was a doozie
I completely agree. Which village were you in? Was it Quentar? I hope you’ve been okay in the extreme weather.Heading into Granada today. I may not have time to make it Baena before my flight to South America- but it worth it to linger in a mountain village for a festival!
Just before Baena, stop for lunch at Estación de Luque...lunch on the platform is very cool and the olive oil is unbelievable...Hello,
It is January 2020 and I am currently on the Mozarabe! I only have two weeks before flying to Chile so I will end in Baena.
Next time I’ll walk Jaen- Baena - Merida.
The Almeria Camino Association is absolutely fabulous and well-organized. Big thank you to Jorge, Nely & Alicia! The Albergues are amazing thus far.
Here is a link to the playlist:

I will try to post each day depending on wifi availability.
Feel free to ask any questions!
I am afraid the Camino does not go past Estación de Luque. I do, however, agree, the food is excellent value and the oil is quite good and fresh as it can be.Just before Baena, stop for lunch at Estación de Luque...lunch on the platform is very cool and the olive oil is unbelievable...
Hello!
Just popping in to say the weather has been a bit crazy. I was without wifi for a few days so very tardy in posting videos. Heading into Granada today. I may not have time to make it Baena before my flight to South America- but it worth it to linger in a mountain village for a festival!
Oh and beer power is a real thing.As long as I can zip up my clothing and have strength to carry up mountains I don’t worry so much about my weight. It fluctuates up and down depending on the type of hiking trail I am doing. When I started the Le Puy Camino in August 2017 I was at least 50 lbs heavier than I am now. At my last medical check-up my lab results & blood pressure was perfectly normal.
It is a long story, but if I have another confirmed blood clot, I will need to be on medication permanently and I will not be able to drink alcohol (or wilderness hike) again. So I am enjoying hiking life and village beers along the way!

Well guys, I am still in Granada!!!! I was a bit under the weather (no beers for three days!). I want to ensure I am fit and healthy before flying to Chile this weekend. Spending one week carrying all my food, and living in a tent on the Torres Del Paine trek requires full fitness levels!
Been wandering the streets, sightseeing a bit, and resting in bed watching ‘Star Trek’.
I have two more days until I fly from Granada to Barcelona, then Chile. Unsure if I’ll hike another stage or two, out just continue soaking up the atmosphere here in Granada.
Yes, you are right. I had forgotten that. Spring 2018 was very wet and as a lone peregrina I decided that I had had my fill of 'iffy' vados and bridges....so I stuck to the main road for that leg.I am afraid the Camino does not go past Estación de Luque. I do, however, agree, the food is excellent value and the oil is quite good and fresh as it can be.
@Sara_Dhooma, I guess we grannies around the world watching your trips and videos, enjoying your walks, learning about our next caminos, getting worried about your walking through the dark at night, your drinking some more beers than we would dear to do with a lot of km further to walk, are looking at you as our grand child daughter and being worried, more than thinking back on what we would be doing 50 years ago!Hello!
