Hoping all the way to Santiago and then Finisterra/Muxia. I’m flexible though. If I don’t finish this round I’ll come back later.Sounds wonderful. I've heard that's a very beautiful Camino. How far are you going to walk? to Sevilla? Or....
That’s always a great way to start a camino. Wishing you a wonderful walk and no problems with locked gates or high waters! Can’t wait to hear how it goes.The day went better than planned.

I’ll let you know tomorrowBuen camino, @Willdtrout. Hope you can let us know what happens when you get to the Cortijo Los Lirios (probably tomorrow) after San Pablo de Buceite. Hoping it looks more like the first picture than the second.

Today the gate is open
I wasn’t aware of the potential problem if it was locked! Ignorance is bliss sometimes.Thanks for the picture, @Willdtrout. Hope you are enjoying your Via Serrana. Would love to hear any accommodation reports or just general posts describing your day. Looks like terrific weather!
So now we have three different experiences at the entrance to the Finca, all within the last year.
@Umwandert — closed and locked
@MesaWalker — closed and unlocked
@Willdtrout — open and unlocked.
I guess it’s the luck of the draw. Glad you had good luck!
I’ve sent a note to the association in Cádiz. I got their attention when I sent a link to the youtube of the Spanish peregrino who was told in San Pablo de Buceite to avoid the Finca at all costs. He walked along the RR tracks, which is a VERY foolish idea. I’ll report back if they are able to find out what’s going on. They are located in Cádiz, which is more than 100 km away, so it might not be easy.
For anyone who does find the gate locked, the Assoc. suggested going back to San Pablo and getting a taxi from there to a spot where the camino joins the road about 6 km before El Colmenar and then walking down. Next on the list would be to find a taxi company in the vicinity. There is a taxi in a town called Colmenar, but it is a different Colmenar in the province of Málaga. And I don’t find any for the Estación Gaucín either.
I think this is the spot to start walking again, though:

Is there new info, or was she just asking?If it was closed I probably would have climbed over based on reports of other locked gates on this route but that would have been ill advised based on new info from peregrina2000.
Me too! I ate there twice IIRC.I ate at the highly rated El Paseo near the clock tower. As a vegetarian I loved that there were many options.
Fantastic, and the good news is the best is yet to come. I hope you continue to have good weather in the next few days so you can enjoy the scenery. Today’s gorge is really spectacular!My impression of this camino is that I love it.
I have no new info, I think @Willdtrout was referring to my post 12 above.Is there new info, or was she just asking?
Congratulations on a wonderful journey!I was very blessed to be able to walk into Santiago on Christmas morning (2023).
Via Serrana - Via de La Plata - Via Sanabria
Such an incredible Camino. Blessed and so fortunate to have the time to do this
Si, walked Santiago-Finisterra-Muxia and back to Santiago. Walked back into Santiago yesterdayWhat a camino! Did you go on to the coast?
Unless you have yet another camino in mind from here, I imagine you are well and truly done with your camino. Norte-Serrana-Vdlp-Fisterre/Muxia, what a journey. I can imagine that today is a hard day of adjustment, @Willdtrout. Many thanks for sharing it with us and especially for your Serrana tips. Buen camino, LaurieSi, walked Santiago-Finisterra-Muxia and back to Santiago. Walked back into Santiago yesterday
I’m on the Portugese coastal now. I feel pretty fortunate with the weather. Some rain but not too bad. Had one tremendous storm day with big wind and rain walking Olveiroa to Negreira but luckily the clothes I wore stayed drier than the clothes in my pack. Here on the portugese it’s been a good mix with mostly good weather.Congrats! How was the weather?
I’m feeling strong and have some freedom left! On the Portugese coastal now and not done walking yetUnless you have yet another camino in mind from here, I imagine you are well and truly done with your camino. Norte-Serrana-Vdlp-Fisterre/Muxia, what a journey. I can imagine that today is a hard day of adjustment, @Willdtrout. Many thanks for sharing it with us and especially for your Serrana tips.
