Arrived in Malaga during Carnival. Busy and festive.
Almeria
5–7 февр. 2024, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Gerard: Two nights in Almeria before our walk begins. Nice tapas bars! Casa Puga was a happening. Total chaos in the place (according to me) however food was excellent, service perfect, I donot knowЧитать далее
Almeria to Santa Fe de Mondújar
7–8 февр. 2024, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Gerard: First day of our walk. Originally we would walk to Rioja, but there the albergue was closed. we were advised to go to the next albergue in Santa Fe. It was only 24km.... It was hard on ourЧитать далее
Santa Fe to Alboloduy
8 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Debi: Today was a lot of climbing (3 peaks) with some steep downhills. Only about 15 km, but that took 5 hours, with breaks. It is a dry rugged landscape unlike anything I have seen. We also walkedЧитать далее
Alboloduy to Ocaña
9 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Gerard: This day was 800 meters up and down, with very narrow tracks at some parts. We were intimidated but everything worked out fine. During the night we already noticed that the wind was pickingЧитать далее
Ocaña to Huéneja
10 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ 🌬 6 °C
Debi: We began with a 7km walk to the next village, where we could have coffee and omelette. The wind was extreme headwinds and driving rain. We were soaked through. My boots were ponds. After foodЧитать далее
Huéneja to Alquife
11 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Debi: what a beautiful day, despite the cold and a bit of rain. Snowy mountains in the distance, and an undulating path through almond orchards, in bloom. Walked through La Calahorra, with castle onЧитать далее
Alquife to Guádix
12 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
D: what a beautiful 24 km walk today!
The scenery is outstanding. The last half reminded me of the US south west landscape, so it is understandable that Hollywood used the area to film westerns. SomeЧитать далее
Guádix to La Peza
13 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
D: The first half of the walk was stunning, winding through the mountains. The second half was an unpleasant dirt path and a winding mountain highway. Great views, but we did quite a lot of up andЧитать далее
La Peza to Tocón de Quentar
14 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Debi: I was sick today from dehydration and so took a cab while G walked and met him at the Albergue in the next village. Only a very short stage, but it involved steep climbs, and I was not up to it.Читать далее
Tocón de Quentar to Quentar
15 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
D: It’s difficult to do justice to the beauty of this landscape and the variation we encounter in photos. Very glad that we stopped in Tocon yesterday instead of pushing through to this village. WeЧитать далее
Quentar to Granada
16 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Debi: It was a fairly gentle 16 km today. Lots of uphill for the first 10km, but not difficult and perfect temperature. We were joined for some time by two friendly frolicking dogs. I wonder how manyЧитать далее
Rest day in Granada
17 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
D: It’s a strange shift from mountains and villages to a big urban centre. We really like Grenada, where the plazas in the old town flow from one to another (some similarities to Barcelona, minusЧитать далее
Pinos Puente to Moclin
18 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
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,Читать далее
Moclin to Alcalá la Real
19 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
D: What a beautiful start to the day! A steep descent out of Moclín into a misty valley. Much of the rest of the day was through olive groves, although there was still quite a lot of uphill and weЧитать далее
Alcalá la Real to Alcaudete
20 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
D: This 24 km day was likely our easiest so far, simply because we walked through rolling but not at all challenging landscape. We were accustomed to some much longer stages on the CF and VDLP, so itЧитать далее
Alcaudete to Baena
21 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
D: Today was a fairly easy 25 km, but the scenery is less interesting away from the Sierra Nevada. There was a long stretch toward the end that was a somewhat rocky and mainly flat road through theЧитать далее
Baena to Castro del Rio
22 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
D: Today was an easy 20 km stretch, although a bit heavy on paved surfaces. We made the acquaintance of a large dog whose job is to protect the sheep, although he was willing to tolerate our picnicЧитать далее
Castro del Rio to Santa Cruz
23 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
D: We got a slightly earlier start today because we were aiming to be in Santa Cruz in time for the menu del dia. We managed to get one yesterday (although the restaurant staff were not happy aboutЧитать далее
Santa Cruz to Cordoba
24 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
It was a fairly easy 24 km day, but our feet continue to complain about the uneven rocky surfaces, which comprised about a third of today’s walk. I enjoyed the undulating hills surrounding us andЧитать далее
Cordoba to Cerro Muriano
25 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Today was a short walk (18km) but one of the heaviest climbs of the CM so far. We walked about 4 km to get out of Cordoba and began climbing soon after. The climbing didn’t stop until 1-2 km beforeЧитать далее
Cerro Muriano to Villaharta
26 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ 🌬 9 °C
The day began cool and invigorating, but a strong headwind appeared, followed by rain and hail on and off all day, with brief periods of sunshine. Much of the path was very wet from overnight rain,Читать далее
Villaharta to Mina Guillermin
27 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
D: Today’s walk was mostly lovely, largely through a natural area. It was cool with light wind, but also sunny and no rain. The last part was an uneven uphill rocky path.
We were glad to stop atЧитать далее
Mina to Alcaracejos
28 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
We were excited last night to hear that today is a holiday in Andalucia and expected festivities in the town. Unfortunately the celebrations are happening at a place we passed 7km out of town, and weЧитать далее
Alcaracejos to Hinojosa del Duque
29 февраля 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
D: Today was a sunny pleasant 21 km walk, mainly through farm land. We chatted with lots of animals along the way, and G also talked with a Shepherd who spoke some English and plans to walk part ofЧитать далее
