Supposed to be Merida, but I managed to join the Via de la Plata at Zafra and I'm not exactly sure where I went wrong.
I was definatley on track at Peñarroya. Spent the night in the albergue (a 8PM - 8AM lock-in). Couldn't find any markers to a sandero in the morning, so roughly followed the road to Fuente Obejuna where I spent the night in the church. Local people I spoke to seemed familar with occasional passing pilgrims and suggested a free bed was available in a local hostal.
I then made my way to Azuaga already convinced I was going in the wrong direction, but being told there was an albergue for pilgrims there. On arrival, I was told that there was an albergue, but it was now closed and had been turned into a museum about human migration. I was directed to Llerena. From there I followed roads and paths to Zafra.
I'm currently trying to turn all my blog posts and memories into some sort of guide. And, I will go back to Cordoba at some time to speak with the local society of friends of the camino, but, in the meantime, does anyone know which is the 'official' route from Cordoba to Merida?
