I’m on an ‘intensive’ week at B1/2 level at the Instituto Picasso on Plaza Merced in Malaga. The standard programme is four hours per day 50/50 grammar and conversation, to which I added an hour 1-2-1 with a tutor focussed on my accent and pronunciation. Because it was a public holiday in Spain yesterday for All Saints Day the hours have been condensed into four days and it’s been very intense today!I see that the Malaga association have a website as well as a Facebook page, both of which have recent posts. It is good to know that they are very active!
Where is your language course and how are you finding it? I spent a month at language school in Pedregalejos, but that was 50 years ago! It would be very strange to re-visit that experience.
Did you mean hostales and pensiones? I'm asking as I'm wondering if any municipal albergues are open at this timr. Also could you share with us information about costs of the accommodations.I just came back Sunday from Malaga after walking the Mozerabe to Cordoba together with my Camino friend from Holland, it was a wonderful walk. And very easy to follow the arrows.
Very quiet, we didn't meet other pilgrims. And only two people told us "Buen Camino" but the two people who did, made us very happy. We met a lot of helpful and friendly Spanish people.
We stayed in the Albergue in Almeria on the first day. And in hostels and pensions along the way.
Buen Camino to you!
@C clearly,
Hi LTfit, yes we mostly stayed in hostales and pensiones.Did you mean hostales and pensiones? I'm asking as I'm wondering if any municipal albergues are open at this timr. Also could you share with us information about costs of the accommodations.

Hi Jill. My partner and I are also planning on beginning the Mozarabe in early December (likely the second week) and have the same question as you do. Hoping you will receive some replies!@Ekelund and everyone,
Booked my flights last night and will start the Mozárabe in early December. I’m weighing whether to begin in Málaga (where I’ll arrive) or Almería. I expect to end in Cordóba—though I won’t have enough days to walk the entire way. Will you share thoughts about places that should not be missed? And, alternatively, are there stretches that could be skipped without losing the essence of the walk?
For context, I’m a strong hiker and backpacker, and I love mountains. Trained in architecture, I’m keen to experience the Moorish buildings and towns as well.
Thank so much for any guidance y’all feel like sharing,
Jill
Hi Debi, I look forward to hearing about your journey. The research led me to rethink taking the Camino Mozárabe solo in winter. Instead, I'll be walking in southern Portugal--doing section hikes on the Rota Vicentina and Via Algarviana. I leave on Saturday unless something drastic happens in response to the Omicron variant in the next few days. Buen Camino!Hi Jill.

Sounds lovely! The covid situation here in Western Europe is bad and about to get worse with the new variant, so we have decided to stay home for now. We had hoped that the south of Spain would be relatively safe to walk (same for Portugal), but infection rates are going up there as well. Good luck and stay safe!Hi Debi, I look forward to hearing about your journey. The research led me to rethink taking the Camino Mozárabe solo in winter.

UGH. I'm so sorry. Hope I'm not on a fool's journey. Guess I have a few more days to decide!Sounds lovely!
