A Long day with No Facilities en-route, so make sure that you have a good
breakfast before leaving in the morning and pack plenty of water as well as
Good Supply of snacks.
The vast bulk of the day you are walking on Excellent Camino de Tierra's -
The route undulates quite a lot, particularly the 1st half so be prepared
for a Long day !!
A good choice for both accommodation and restaurants for your evening meal
in the small sized town of Alcaracejos de Soria

Another shortish but nice undulating day, again walking on a mixture of
quiet roads and earthen tracks.
Nice stop for lunch at El Vacar (Choice of either Bar or shop - Shop
actually in Bar !!)
We opted to stay at Hostal El Cruce which is actually a couple of k before
you reach Villaharta, a nice place if a little expensive, but it does have a
good Menu del Dais at a reasonable price which helps offset the room prices
!!

First thing to say is that I would strongly recommend taking a day off in
Cordoba, Both as there is a Lot to see and also to give yourself a bit of a
break from the walking - Unfortunately due to the time constraints of my
trek-mate for this stage we couldn't afford the time, but I will go back to
see what I missed - one day !!
We opted for the short day to Cerro Muriano, a pleasant walk, It doesn't
take long to get out of Cordoba and into the countryside and once there the
route mainly follows dirt tracks until a couple of k before Cerro Muriano
which you approach by road.
Nowhere for coffee / lunch so make sure that you have a good breakfast
before leaving and pack plenty of water as well as some snacks.
Two Hostal s to choose from but I would Highly recommend Bar X which has
great accommodation and excellent food all at reasonable prices.

A Long and Undulating day again walking on a mixture of quiet roads and
earthen tracks, but through very pleasant countryside.
Nowhere for coffee / lunch so make sure that you have a good breakfast
before leaving in the morning and pack plenty of water as well as Good
Supply of snacks.
We pre-booked our accommodation in Cordoba so that we weren't messing around
late in the evening when we got there and I would recommend anyone walking
the route to do the same.
Lots of choice of restaurants for your evening meal

Another shortish day, again undulating, a choice of 2 routes (We opted for
route "B" in the Confraternity Guide) quite a bit of road walking initially
but again on quiet roads, then through olive groves until just before the
town of Castro del Río.
Again, nowhere for coffee / lunch so make sure that you have a good
breakfast before leaving in the morning and pack plenty of water as well as
some snacks.
Limited accommodation in Castro del Río, we contacted the local police
(Ayuntamiento) and they took us to the Sports hall where we were given free
overnight accommodation in a changing room. Only one restaurant in the
centre of town but the food was good, plentiful and inexpensive.

Nice start to the walk with an easy walk out of Granada over fairly flat
ground as far as Los Olivares but with quite a sting in the tail of the day
as you then have 300m to gain in the last 2k.
Walking on a mixture of quiet roads and earthen tracks.
Plenty of opportunities for Coffee and lunch stops in the small towns and
village's en-route and good a choice of accommodation in Moclin and one good
bar in the square for your evening meal

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
Buen Camino
