The Camino Mozárabe gathers the branches climbing up from Almería, Málaga, Granada or Jaén to Mérida, where it joins the Vía de la Plata. It commemorates the pilgrimage of the Mozarabic Christians who lived under Islamic rule.
It crosses monumental Andalusia (the Alhambra, the Great Mosque of Córdoba) with long stretches and extreme heat. The exact historical route is not fully documented; today's waymarking favours safety and scenery.
Who it's for
For seasoned pilgrims seeking Al-Andalus heritage and a serious challenge.
