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 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

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
