Pinos Puente to Moclin

We took the suggestion of Andrew G and took the bus (nbr. 225 from Calle Rector Marin Ocete, close to the train station) to Pinos Puente as the walk out of Grenada is through an ugly industrial area, walking on pavement. When we asked the driver to disembark at Las Flores (last stop) he insisted on taking us a bit further (we were the last people on the bus) because he said that area was dangerous due to narco activity. We quickly joined the route and walked through olive groves, pausing at a village for food before beginning the steep 3.5 km ascent to Moclin. It is strenuous but quite do-able with lots of pauses and drinks of water.

We have now seen 3 peregrinos since we began in Almeria.

G: the walk up to the castle in Moclin is well worth it. Spectacular views and a last look on the Sierra Nevada?Read more
