On the Camino de Santiago, you will find hundreds of pilgrims walking on their own. Many of them may have come to the Camino alone; others have probably moved away from their fellow travellers for a few hours because of the difference in speed when walking.
In any case, all the routes on the Camino are very well signposted, so you will have no problem if you go on your own.
Am I going to have an accompanying guide on el Camino de Santiago?
Most routes on the Camino de Santiago are done in a self-guided mode. Thus, each traveller has the opportunity to advance on their own and at their own pace along the routes marked on the complete itinerary of the route, which is sent one month before starting the Camino.
However, we also offer organized groups with accompanying guide on the stretch from Sarria to Santiago. We have specific dates already established, and we carry them out in groups of up to 15 people, with guaranteed departures. The guides in charge of these routes speak English and Spanish.
We already have all the dates published until 2021, so you are encouraged to reserve your place before the groups are filled.

Advice
What should I consider to prepare physically?
Both sedentary people and those who regularly exercise should physically prepare for doing the Camino de Santiago.
Sedentary people can start with moderate activity and continue progressively. They should start by taking small 20-minute walks, two or three times a week. It is suggested to increase the time until you reach walk about 4 or 5 kilometres every hour.
People with regular physical activity can start by walking from 45 to 60 minutes a day and increase the amount of time and kilometres they travel in the same span of time.
Generally, it is recommended to start training for about three months before starting the route.
How far in advance should I make a reservation?
There is no minimum number of days in advance to book, although on certain dates the occupancy of the accommodation is higher, especially in high season, and in dates of religious interest such as the San Fermin Festivals in Pamplona, from 7th to 14th July, or the Feast of Santiago the Apostle, on July 25th.

We want to talk to you in this text about the Camino Mozarabe, one of the most interesting options of all the possibilities on the Camino de Santiago.
In fact, we will tell you about its main characteristics and give you all the necessary information to be able to undertake and enjoy this route. At the same time, we want to remind you that it is possible to do it with Santiago Ways with all our guarantees.
Why choose the Camino Mozarabe?
1.- The Camino Mozarabe is a great challenge: The Camino Mozarabe to Santiago links with the route of the Via de La Plata</a and gives us the possibility of completing the Camino de Santiago from several cities from Andalucía to Santiago.
In most cases, people finish the tour in the city of Mérida. However, it is possible to complete a challenge as great as travelling practically through all of Spain.
2.- The historical character of the route: the name of this Camino Mozarabe comes from the pilgrims who, from the south made the pilgrimage to the north. These pilgrims were Mozarabic, Christian people under the Muslim domination of the south of the Iberian Peninsula.
They made the pilgrimage to go to Christian lands, where either they stayed to live or they made petitions to James the Apostle.
3.-The monumental nature of the route: along the course, the Camino Mozarabe gives us the possibility to enjoy imposing natural and architectural environments. However, it is a reason for itself to make the most of it to visit such emblematic cities as Granada, Córdoba or Mérida itself.
4.- A journey through the history of Spain: At the beginning of what was the last bastion of Muslim domination and ending in one of the main cities of Catholicism (Santiago de Compostela) , we will be able to take an impressive tour through all the cultural richness of Spain and experience all the contrasts of such a vast historical background.
The same happens if the pilgrim decides to finish his route in Mérida, which was also an important city of the Roman era.
5.-It is a road without overcrowding: one of the main reasons why people choose the Camino Mozarabe is because it has very few pilgrims.
That is, despite having one of the best infrastructures, the Camino de Santiago Mozarabe is a route that does not have too many pilgrims and in which questions such as accommodation or facilities to find a place to eat are very present.
All this, of course, with Santiago Ways is guaranteed from the beginning and, in addition, in the best possible environment.

How long does the Camino Mozarabe de Santiago take?
To know how long it takes to complete the Camino Mozarabe, it is best to look at the criteria that we have established in Santiago Ways. In them, we believe that the estimated time to complete the Camino Mozarabe is 15 nights and 16 days.
However, this duration can change depending on various aspects. One of them is the climatology, another is the different rhythm that you propose to complete. Finally, it is the intention of wanting to enjoy more time in a particular landscape . In any case, the most important thing is to enjoy the experience and do it as you prefer.
The best time to make the Camino Mozarabe to Santiago de Compostela
To know when to complete the Camino Mozarabe we want to offer you some tips. They will deal with the most favourable points of each season and, at the same time, their disadvantages. We anticipate that each of the seasons can give some special point to the completion of the Camino Mozarabe de Santiago.
That is why, ultimately, it all depends on the choice of each pilgrim. That is why we have made a list of the different seasons and the advantages and disadvantages that each of them has when making the Camino Mozarabe to Santiago. We hope that it will help you to be able to choose with the best guarantees the optimal time for you.
Spring
During the spring, the main problem is unstable weather. In fact, during this intermediate period, rains or sudden storms may appear. However, in the case of the Camino de Santiago Mozarabe, this problem is lessened by the nature of the climate in the south of the Iberian Peninsula.
So, in effect, we will enjoy rather mild and pleasant weather that will accompany us along our entire journey.
Yes, we would have to also monitor the subject of possible allergies. Apart from these two problems that are lessened with correct planning, the spring is an excellent time to make the pilgrimage of the Camino Mozarabe. So much so that the fields we cross will have an incomparable beauty during this time of year.
Summer
Summer is the most popular time to complete the Camino de Santiago in general and the Camino Mozarabe de Santiago in particular. It is because it is the time when people have more days available.
In addition, it is the one that has more hours of daylight and is when the weather is stable, although the truth is that in the south of Spain it can be quite hot. Either way, as we go further north, temperatures will be milder.
If we are encouraged to continue along the following routes such as the Camino Portugues coastal route or the Camino Frances itself, we will escape the heat on our pilgrimage.
One of the main drawbacks of making the Camino de Santiago Mozarabe in the summer is the question of accommodation. However, with Santiago Ways, it is possible to forget about this problem because we guarantee that you will be able to rest in the best hostels and rural houses, with excellent care and an unbeatable environment in all of them.
Autumn
Autumn is also another of the most popular times to complete the Camino de Santiago from Granada. It is because the landscape becomes more beautiful and the cold and heat give us a break during this period in the south of Spain.
Therefore, one of the greatest advantages has to do with the mildness of the temperatures and the beauty of the landscapes that exist. Instability can be against us as it happens in spring.
However, this should not be a special problem whenever we make sure to have good planning as we offer in Santiago Ways.
Winter
Although on most of the routes of the Camino de Santiago it is a risk to undertake them during the winter, in the case of the Camino Mozarabe there is no problem: the temperatures will be of course milder than in the north of Spain where, in many sections, we’ll go through mountain climates.
So, winter, in the case of the Camino Mozarabe it’s not a great problem. Rainfall may increase although we can always avoid its consequences with adequate protection.

Rex Numitor: It is another of the most appetizing restaurants in the city of Mérida. It has a series of interesting local specialities that you should taste on your pilgrimage.
Entrebarsas: a very cheap tapas bar in the city of Granada. We want to remind you that in this city the culture of the generous tapas is very extensive and that it is possible to eat asking for only one drink.
Origin of the Camino Mozarabe
As we have said, the origin of the Camino Mozarabe can be traced back to the medieval pilgrimages that many people did to the city of Santiago . However, confirmation of the first pilgrim can be found in the year 1612, when the Canon of the Cathedral of Cordoba began the pilgrimage.
From that moment on, more and more pilgrims joined in. We know that the route was also used in opposite direction in a rather tragic and unfortunate way by Almanzor, the greatest Muslim conqueror who arrived, in fact, to the city of Santiago, where he stripped the bells from the cathedral.
