Views and Music from "Mirador San Nicolas"
by garcinarro
Granada is una ciudad para quedarse con todo el sabor que tiene. El Mirador de San Nicolas es uno de esos sitios donde la gente se sienta para leer y de vez encuando levantar la vista y encontrar la belleza de uno de los mejores anocheres del mundo, con la Alhambra al fondo incluida Sierra Nevada, puedes soñar con esta vista que no ha cambiado apenas desde los tiempos de Boabdil (ultimo rey musulman). Granada es especial por todo, la comida las vistas, las gentes.
Probablemente será una de las ciudades más bohemias del mundo, conserva su herencia multicultural, convivieron en ella las tres culturas del libro (musulmana, hebrea y cristiana).
Si alguna vez me pierdo buscarme en Granada.
Homes in the caves
by TempNomad
Discovering some of the homes in Guadix and the surrounding areas can be challenging. There are a good number which qualify as caves with only a door and sometimes a smokestack to identify it. They are amazing to look at, but it's a bit weird to poke about someone's home. Understandably, the residents aren't too excited about people knocking on their doors. Poverty is one reason why they live here. However, if you are traveling for a while and meet up with some locals, they are very happy to show you around.
They have a lot of pride in their homes.
Planning your stages
by into-thin-air
As I previously mentioned in the introduction, we chose to split the route down into 17 manageable stages, I have written up these stages on the tips below along with a selection of photos to give you an idea of the terrain that you will walk through.
I Hope this helps you in either the planning of your own Camino, or at least gives you an idea of what to expect if you walk this route yourself.
If you need further info on The Camino Mozárabe then please feel free to drop me a line

Arrival In Granada
by lilnation
The train from Madrid to Granada was pretty relaxing. Around Mid May it is not that busy so the train was pretty empty. Length of time is approximately 5 hours. You can bring your own munchies on the trip which is recommended. I did not buy anything from the snack bar on the train so I cannot tell you how expensive things are on the train. Once at the station in Granada you can walk a couple yards to get one of the public transit buses to get to your hotel. Another option is just taking a cab which for me was not expensive . Approximate cost to my hotel was 4-5 Euros.
