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
Camino Mozárabe – day 1 – Málaga to Almogía
The alarm was set for 05:45 and we were out of the house by 06:20 in order to get to Málaga to meet my walking partner, George, outside the church of Santiago at 07:30. I felt slightly unsure that he … Continue reading
The final leg of my pre-camino camino
Rain was forecast for the whole of this week excepting Monday, and the prophesy was not wrong. We have had days and days of downpours. Not the odd spot here and there, but determined great dollops of the wet stuff … Continue reading
Part two of my pre-camino camino
As you may remember, I am walking from home to Málaga as a prequel to my forthcoming Camino Mozárabe. I walked the first leg a few weeks ago, from my front door to Algarrobo Costa. I wrote about it here. … Continue reading
The making of the super-duper Maggie shoulder cape
I wrote the post below eighteen months ago (February 2015, but didn’t publish it at the time because I hoped to develop the idea commercially. I had extended discussions with an equipment manufacturer, but the project didn’t ultimately come to … Continue reading
From first light to sunset – what a very special day
My day started when I opend my eyes (quite late) and was greeted by this sight through my bedroom window – the first strike of the sun upon the snow covered peak of mount Maroma. I am treated to this … Continue reading
Bridges on the Camino Portuguese – updated!
I’ve been motivated to re blog this post by caminoforums member Lucimi. She made a lovely comment in response to the post, which in turn inspired me to seek out some bridge-related quotations. The most delightful aspect of this research … Continue reading
