The Camino Mozarabe is a much less walked route than many in Spain. In late 2023, we walked from Málaga to Mérida enjoying the terrain, the groves of olive trees and the fabulous cities we passed through.

Day 1, Sevilla to Guillena, Oct 21

Summary

We stopped by the cathedral to snap the obligatory photos of us heading out, then easily made our way through Sevilla and across the bridge to Triana. It was exciting to start seeing markers and to imagine what was ahead.

Day 2, Guillena to Castilblanco de los Arroyos, Oct 22

Summary

It was a very early start to the day as we had to be out of the albergue by 8:00, even needing to set the alarm to be sure we’d be up.

Day 3, Castilblanco de los Arroyos to Almaden de la Plata, Oct 23

Summary

Finally, we had a good night’s sleep. What a relief. So although it would be a long day, we didn’t get going at the crack of dawn.
