Tell Laurie hello and give her a hug from me!

All smiles !!
I’ll be watching you ‘having fun’ and it will be interesting to watch your little sub groups develop as you move along at your own comfortable pace.
Looks like you’re all experienced., so there will no doubt be a lot of experience swapping and learning too.

Buen Camino everyone
Annie

Hi, Marilynn! I was wondering when you were going to start! And Laurie is in the same group - I wanted to tell you, Laurie, that THE map did make it to Marilynn. Took TWO MONTHS from Paris Roissy airport to Capetown by registered mail!

Well, I keep my fingers crossed for you. Enjoy yourselves! Buen camino!
Ina

Great to see your smiling faces and wish you all a Buen Camino!

Fill us in on your escapades every once and a while (live on the Mozárabe perhaps?).

 

[Anniesantiago]

Looks like fun! Buen Camino!

 

[Undermanager]

It looks like a lot of fun. I know when you meet up in the evenings it will be great to unwind together.

 

[KinkyOne]

Such a nice moment for you. And for the rest of us too I'm sure.

Buen Camino to all!

 

[pelerine]

How is the mob doing??? And where are you now?

 

[peregrina2000]

The mob has splintered, not because of any reason other than different walking preferences. I am with four others ( only one a forum member) in Calahorra. jpflavin and Ortemio are a day ahead. C clearly and freewalker are a few kms back. And the rest are in Abla tonight. This is a beautiful camino with some tough parts but it’s hard to complain when you have snow covered mountains always in view!

 

[pelerine]

Pleased to have your news. Thank you!

 

[VNwalking]

I had NO idea to was so gorgeous down there.
Wow. Thanks for the news and the eye candy, Laurie!
And buen camino to all!

@peregrina2000 and others - I've edited the thread title to add a "Live - Camino Mozarabe" to make it easier for us to follow. I hope the other members of the forum who are walking the route add their contributions!

Wonderful pic! Enjoy your walk, looks like the weather is much improved

 

[amancio]

Well, guys, I am hoping to see a few of you in Granada tomorrow (even if only for a few beers). Buen camino, amigos!

 

[Carel5]

Good to see so many people now on the Camino from Almeria. Buen Camino Magwoord https://magwood.me/2018/04/19/camino-mozarabe-stage-6-alquife-to-guadix-24-km/ and the others. En goeie reis voor Marilyn.

 

[C clearly]

We "6 chicas" are now in La Peza, expecting to arrive in Granada on Sunday.

 

[amancio]

Well, part of the mob is in Granada now, I had the honour of sharing a couple of hours, a visit to the old Muslim school in Granada, a gorgeous ice cream and a short walk with Laurie today, she is in great form, I wish I had had time to walk with her tomorrow along the old Camino (by the river) instead of the new one (industrial states and boring suburbs for the best part of 20 km). The Granada Camino association has A LOT to learn from our Almeria neighbours. To those who are thinking about staying with the nuns in Comendadoras de Santiago, BEWARE: curfew at 7:50 pm... You are forewarned!

Hoping to do the Almeria-Granada segment sooner than later, perhaps at a slower pace than Laurie, but it is definitely in my agenda.

Buen camino to you all!!!

 

[peregrina2000]

I am no longer part of the mob, and as of today I won’t have the constant enjoyment and entertainment provided by my dear pals who started with me in Almeria. So a new adventure begins from Granada.

So great to meet Amancio. And just a slight correction to the curfew info. You can choose—be in before they go to prayers at 8 or stay out till they leave mass at 9:30. Not being much of a party animal, I chose the former.
Accommodations are lovely.

I feel like I am launching myself into the unknown, leaving the protectorate of the Almeria Association. Most wonderful Spanish association anywhere! Buen camino, Laurie

Buen Camino Laurie
You’ll be doing plenty of side trips I’m sure !

And we’re all still here / never very far away
Enjoy

It's been great reading the updates in this thread, thanks and ¡buen camino! to everyone.

We just finished a tough day - La Peza to Quentar, about 28 km. It was interesting , having some of almost everything - steep climbs, steep descents, asphalt road, dirt tracks, river beds, pine forests, orchards, and a huge limestone quarry. The only thing missing was a bar. Now we are installed in a 3-bedroom townhouse in Quéntar. Others are in the hotel and a guest house, since there is no albergue. The Association people have been SO helpful! Paco was out on the trail today painting arrows.
