Here is a link to my blog when I walked a portion of the route from Malaga. It was some years ago so not sure if these places are still open but they were fine. To follow, just choose newer post, newer post at the bottom of each post. I ended up leaving that route and jumping up to the Madrid route because I got a little nervous about being alone in the endless olive groves with a worker that felt "off." But until the olive groves, it was a wonderful route!I plan to start the Mozarabe from Malaga the first week in April. Anyone who has started from here, can you recommend:
A place to stay
Where can I get a Pilgrim passport ?
Where is the first marker?
Anything else of interest about this route?
I have walked this route from Almeria but want to also start here. It looks like a perfect 3 week walk.
Thanks

Try contacting them through their website: https://caminomozarabedemalaga.com/contacto/Unfortunately for me I arrive on April 3rd, Wednesday. So it looks like the Association will not be of much help unless I can connect with someone and make arrangements to meet.
If not is there a church or other place where someone can get a credential in Malaga?
Does anyone have experience with Air Europa? Are they like Ryan air?
I have walked from Almeria and the association there was very helpful up to Granada.
I am open to any ideas.
Thanks
Joe
Thank you for this information. I have tried several times to send a message through this website and I keep getting an error message to try again later.Try contacting them through their website: https://caminomozarabedemalaga.com/contacto/
Or as I mentioned, get a credenciale from Ivar's shop.
Failing that, you can try:
- asking at the cathedral
- asking at the church of Santiago (when it's open, so go at the times when they have mass)
- asking at the tourist office.
¡Buen Camino!
Thank you FlogHere's a direct link to the association's webpage I posted just now on the other current Mozerabe/Malaga thread. It lists the stage distances and contact numbers, it's really all you need:
De Málaga a Santiago - Camino Mozárabe de Málaga
Para facilitar la preparación del Camino a aquéllos que lo quieran recorrer completo, relacionamos todos los pueblos de paso, desde Málaga hasta Santiago. Los hemos agrupado en 49 etapas, pero cada cual deberá ajustarlas en función del tiempo que disponga, de las infraestructuras existentes y de...caminomozarabedemalaga.com
I don't know about pilgrim specific accommodation in Malaga city, but there are plenty of options. I couldn't recommend the cheap place I stayed, unless you want to listen to two dogs barking out the window all night in the next room (my host forgot to mention she had them in the apartment). You have enough time to pick up a credencial in advance from wherever.. will save you stressing about it when you arrive..
Buen camino
Thanks, I sent you a PM.@jpflavin1 I live in Malaga, ask me anything.
Credencial: the cathedral bookstore sells them. It's built into the south side of the cathedral, small door that's easy to miss. But, their working hours are pretty narrow, like 10:00-14:00 or something like that.
Lindsay Teschene is currently walking the route and posting daily on fb. Most important get in touch with the association that looks after the Mozarabe. You will need to contact them each day to get the code of entry of daily albergues. He loves the route that is very well marked.I plan to start the Mozarabe from Malaga the first week in April.

Just checked and saw that she is walking the Almería branch, but Joe will walk from Málaga. No guardian angel association on this route!Lindsay Teschene is currently walking the route and posting daily on fb.
If you want a splurge, I spent a few days in Hotel Palacio Solecio as a tourist a few years ago. Great location very close to the Roman theater and an extremely popular cafe/ restaurante, El Pimpi. Watching the sun go down and night arrive with a view of the theater is just wonderful.A place to stay
Did you click on the link I posted? Post 10? It has all the albergue/ayuntamiento contact numbers as well as the stage distances. What else do you need??I am now 16 days from my start date in Malaga. I believe I have tried every contact that has been suggested and still nothing from the Malaga association.
The only thing I absolutely need is a credential.Did you click on the link I posted? Post 10? It has all the albergue/ayuntamiento contact numbers as well as the stage distances. What else do you need?

And I remember that there was a Camino marker embedded in either the hotel wall or the building next-door, so it’s right on the route
Based on what I’ve read over the years, there is no association on the Málaga branch that bears any resemblance to the Almería association.Based on comments from others, I was hoping to work with the local association like I did when walking from Almeria.
I just sent a email to APOC to remind them. I am sure all will be well.Based on what I’ve read over the years, there is no association on the Málaga branch that bears any resemblance to the Almería association.
I remember @Amancio’s ”Live from the camino” thread was very informative, maybe that will give you some more good info. But I think you’re ready to go, now if you could just get that credential!

I'm a fan! I've used her videos for researching a few of the quieter ways, including the way out of Malaga. All her joking around aside, she gives a lot of useful info and advice..
Might answer a few questions! From the great Sara Dhooma....

Sarah is always a treat.

Yes I am currently in Cordoba .@jpflavin1 Did you get started OK?
I got my credential at the Santiago church. I paid 2 euros.I'm going to leave a note here for posterity, in case someone comes to this thread looking for answers.
Right now, credentials can be bought in the Malaga cathedral's museum gift shop. It's a little hard to find the entrance on your own, so it's probably best to find an employee and ask.
There used to be a separate cathedral bookstore, but it was closed and merged with the gift shop as part of ongoing renovations to the cathedral.
