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: Málaga to La Junta de los Caminos, Nov 9
An easy first day heading out from Málaga on the Camino Mozarabe since we've split the usual first stage in two.
Day 2: La Junta de los Caminos to Almogía, Nov 10
We were relieved to see good waymarking, both the red and white stripes connoting the GR 245 and yellow camino arrows.
Day 3: Almogía to Villanueva de la Concepción, Nov 11
The day included a lovely viewpoint with all the peaks noted on a panoramic photo—so great to know what we were seeing.
Day 4: Villanueva de la Concepción to Antequera, Nov 12
A stunning Sunday walk alongside El Torcal mountain and then descending into Antequera.
For almost four weeks in 2019 we walked on one of Spain's many caminos. Heading out from Sevilla we walked north on the Via de la Plata as far as Salamanca.

Getting ready, Málaga to Sevilla, Oct 20
After a few lovely days in Málaga with friends, we made our way to Sevilla where we would start our camino.
Day 1, Sevilla to Guillena, Oct 21
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
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
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.
