Day 9: Cogollos de Guadix to Guadix

Day 9, from Cogollos de Guadix to Guadix. Another short stage of 12.4km.
After a good desayuno at Paco's bar Los Mellizos, there is not much to say about this stage. A quiet and simple walk, all down hill, with beautiful landscapes, until we reached the Barrio de las Cuevas.
We passed the Alcazaba, the church of Santiago and in no time we were at the Plaza de la Constitución.
After getting the usual sellos, we went our very comfortable accommodation for the next two nights, La Casona de la Luz. Gabi, the owner, is a playwright, an actor, an author, and an excellent ostheopath. He fixed a back pain that was lingering before our departure from Australia.
We spent the afternoon with Michel, a french friend, who told us about the Cascamorros, his family history, his experience on the Camino, and many other things.
We even met Paco, from the Asociación Jacobea de Almería-Granada.
An evening is not complete without a good drink, and Michel took us to La Bodegilla. After a good drink, a good meal at Bodegas Calatrava.Read more
