PILGRIMAGE ON THE CAMINO de SANTIAGO: Part 1

PILGRIMAGE on the CAMINO de SANTIAGO: Part 1

A Pilgrimage through the Heartlands of Andalucia — from Coast to Cordoba, SPAIN
October 6-14, 2024

(Two-night OPTIONAL EXTENSION to GRANADA, October 14-16, see below for details)

Join us for Part 1 of the Camino Mozárabe Trilogy…from Coast to Cordoba! We will explore the Spain you never knew in a unique way by following ancient trails through gorgeous Andalucia. This ancient pilgrim's path takes us through monumental towns, white villages, national parks, and abandoned railway tracks converted into hiking trails. It is a diverse and stunning route. Our journey begins in Malaga on October 6 with a welcome dinner, and our walking Pilgrimage starts the next morning. In total, we will be walking for six days through the almond-blossomed hills of Malaga, and then onward through the olive groves of central Andalucia. We will finish in Cordoba on October 14. We have also created an optional extension to Granada from October 14-16. Traditionally, the blessing of undertaking the pilgrimage is a calling. We will lead you away from the masses on a road less travelled, allowing you to reflect as you walk and fully embrace the meaning of the pilgrim experience. Reach a deeper level of understanding of Spain’s rich history and return home a changed person!

ACCOMMODATIONS & FOOD:

Pilgrimages don't have to mean roughing it! Manni, a resident of Spain and expert travel guide, pairs beautiful boutique accommodations with fabulous food and wine. Stay in a range of unique handpicked accommodations to give your Camino a touch of luxury: from cozy, authentic Spanish farmhouses to sumptuous hotels, we guarantee you a comfy bed to rest your head at the end of each memorable day's walk. In Malaga, we will stay in an urban boutique hotel, followed by six nights in two rural properties in glorious surroundings close to our Pilgrim's Path. Our last night will be in an urban boutique hotel at the Universal City of Córdoba, where we will enjoy our celebratory farewell dinner. Enjoy fantastic local food and wine at every stage of your journey, in a range of carefully selected, authentic restaurants along the route. Delicious full breakfasts and sumptuous dinners are included.

WALKING & WELLNESS:

We have combined walking with wellness to create a truly safe and healing experience for everyone. The addition of yoga and meditation is an intrinsic part of our pilgrimage. Together we will practice daily walking meditations, spontaneous Qigong in expansive meadows, and afternoon restorative Yin yoga and MELT Method back at the hotel. This results in a fully immersive pilgrimage experience, and one in which the internal journey is equally as important as the external.

As an experienced team, Manni and Erin serve as encouragers, supporters and expert guides to their pilgrims on every step of the way on this remarkable journey. We will walk an average of eight miles per day. While an average walker walks one mile in 15 minutes, we have the entire day to cover these distances. We want our pilgrims to feel they have time to connect with themselves and their environment, without the pressure of rushing to complete each day’s journey. And our comfy bus is always a phone call away in case the need arises to end your walk sooner.

SOLO PILGRIMS WELCOME:

Walking the Camino Mozárabe alone? We welcome solo travelers and are confident that hiking with us will provide you with personal connections that last a lifetime! (Although single rooms are very limited and sell-out quickly, we can also pair you with another solo traveler.)
