Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 23 – Casar de Cáceres to Cañaveral 38.5 km
There were ultimately no disasters relating to the top bunk – I took a chair from the dining room and once standing on this was able perch my bum on the bed and swing my legs up. Most ladylike! However … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 22 – Valdesalor to Casar de Cáceres 25.9 km
I eventually found a shop in the strange little town of Valdesalor, but only because a fellow pilgrim walked me to it. I had previously walked straight past it as there was no indication whatsoever that there was anything but … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 21 – Alcuéscar to Valdesalor 25.9 km
Well, the tour was interesting, if a little depressing. I didn’t understand everything that was said, but the gist was that this organisation started by P Leocadio Galán Barrena (see first photo), who died in the 1990‘s, runs five homes … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 20 – Aljucén to Alcuéscar 20.2 km
Last evening I returned to the bar for some supper and joined two charming guys from Birmingham, and discoverd one of them was a member of the pilgrim forum I belong to, going by the byline of @musicman. I really … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 19 – Mérida to Aljucén 17 km
My first night on top of a bunk bed was spent (for the first/most part) most uncomfortably. Feet that have walked a long distance ache and throb, and possibly/probably have blisters. My feet complied with the norm. Lying on my … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 18 – Medellín to Mérida 45 km
(yesterday, Saturday 25 April) As we left our lovely accommodation this morning we spied a couple of pilgrims across the road – an Italian couple who had stayed in the sports hall last night. We chatted in spanish for a … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 18 – Medellín to Mérida 45 km
Forty-five km!! Totally knackered Will post properly when wifi and energy levels permit. First night in “proper” albergue now I have joined the Via de la Plata. Teaming with pilgrims and smelly boots. Lucky to get the last bed – … Continue reading

Camino Mozárabe – day 17 – Campanario to Medellín 39.5 km
Having discoverd that the sheets on the bed I had chosen to sleep in last night did not look as though they had been washed since the last inhabitant, I was none too comfortable when I tried the alternative bed, … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 16 – Castuera to Campanario 21 km
Well, I hope the mayor of Castuera gets re-elected next month (if indeed there are local elections as in Andalucia). The town has a real ‘cared for’ look about it and they certainly ‘cared for’ we pilgrims exceptionally well. Today … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 15 – Monterrubio de la Serena to Castuero 20.5 km
Today started as yesterday finished – walking along the road, but for even further this time – almost 15 km. It was a very quiet road with no shoulder, but very few cars passed us and it was not at … Continue reading
day 14 – Hinojosa del Duque to Monterrubio de la Serena 33.7
I was up and ready early today and into the bar on the square to buy some food for our journey, as there were no shops open in the town and no villages en route to buy supplies. Unfortunately there … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 13 – Alcaracejos to Hinojosa del Duque – 23.2 km
A leisurely 08:00 am start to this relatively short day. The first couple of hundred metres were on the road, although we didn’t follow the prescribed route because that would have meant doubling back into the village. We picked up … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 12 – Villaharta to Alcaracejos 38 km
We left the hostal this morning before 07:30 and walked to the nearby cafe to order a bocadillo each for lunch. I was also carrying a couple of oranges (already peeled to save weight), a couple of tomatoes, three biscuits … Continue reading

Camino Mozárabe- day 11 – Cerro Muriano to Villaharta 22.8 km
After a good night’s sleep, we set off this morning shortly before 08:00. The weather was quite fresh, plenty of cloud and a cool breeze, but the forecast was for sunshine. I had decided to wear a sleeveless merino T-shirt … Continue reading
