    Camino Mozárabe de Málaga Day 3

    January 21 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    Almogía to Villanueva de la Concepcion
    I started early in the dark. The path starts with a goat track and a lot of climbing. Lots of up and down through olives and back roads and isolated houses with dogs. Ray Winstone country. Noisy motor bikes turned out to be young women being filmed by a cast of thousands for a clothing commercial. Olive harvesting was continuing in the paddock next door. The camino continues over another big hill with houses and angry dogs then through a farm with friendly dogs. Another big hill into town.Read more

    January 20 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Juntos de los Caminos to Almogía
    The hotel in Juntos is basic but the heating works and the bar does a great menu del día. A lot of climbing today with great views back to Malaga. Culminates in very steep climb into the town. The hotel in Almogía is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I stayed in the Albergue which is very comfortable, heating and hot water works. Good bars and supermarket nearby.Read more

  • Camino Mozarabe de Malaga Day 1

    January 19 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    First day on the Malaga. I left Granada with some urgency as no trains are running due to the terrible accident near Cordoba last night. I took the bus to Malaga and started walking from the autobus estacion. A fairly uneventful walk through the suburbs. The first arrows appeared at about km 5 around Puerto de la Torre. I am relying on Mapy for navigation. I am staying at Posada José Carlos. Room is very basic but adequate.Read more
