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

Camino Mozárabe – day 10 – Córdoba to Cerro Muriano 19 km
We had a very leisurely start this morning, and partook of the included breakfast at the youth hostal. The things I don’t like about youth hostels are the youths. There were lots of them – dozens and dozens. Teenagers en … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 9 – Santa Cruz to Córdoba 25.6 km
I was rather annoyed last night at the way the hostel owner charged us for food. I guess he was trying to make up for giving us a discount on the accommodation. I ate a really good menu del dia … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 8 – Castro del Rio to Santa Cruz 24.4 km
We searched long and hard last evening to find somewhere to eat and it seemed we were likely to be out of luck as none of the bars were serving food. We finally found that the rather unlikely-looking bar we … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 7 – Doña Mencía to Castro del Rio 31 km
The phrase ‘be careful what you wish for’ came to mind this morning as we tackled the ridiculously steep climb out of Doña Mencía. All my moaning about flat tracks came back to haunt me! The first section of today’s … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 6 – Lucena – Doña Mencía 27 km
Being a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago is a funny old business. Especially on this less travelled path. Each day when we arrive at our destination, we have no idea if the information we have is correct and whether … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 5 – Cuevas Bajas to Lucena 30 km
Cuevas Bajas seemed to be a nice town with some substantial period buildings. The key to the albergue is held in Bar Toni which is opposite the church and the albergue is just around the corner. We had a drink … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 4 – Antequera to Cuevas Bajas, 36.2 km
I forgot to mention the beautiful decoratively painted walls in the church of Santiago – quite amazing. A bit more about yesterday…The rooms around the albergue courtyard seemed to be used as an advice / social centre and there was … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 3 – Villanueva de la Concepción to Antequera 18.8 km
Firstly, thank you very much for all the lovely comments I have received. I have seen them all but haven’t been able to respond yet. I will try to answer any questions over the next few days. It all depends … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 2 – Almogia to Villanueva de la Concepción 20.6 km
Oh, today started so very well. We were expecting an easy(ish) 20 km hike and right outside the albergue the arrows indicated we cross the road and we were immediately in stunningly beautiful countryside, albeit on a very steep gradient. … Continue reading
