The albergue is named in honor of Aurora’s husband, that’s his picture on the wall. He was a camino pilgrim and died of some terrible disease. Before his death, he moved mountains to get the albergue opened, and it is such a nice legacy to his...

There were fewer people at the bar when I went to pick up my bocadillo at 8, but it wasn't close to empty. The bocadillo was still warm and I decided to have some of it before heading to bed.

Just a thought Stephan, the Andalusian Coast to coast? There are some high passes so maybe a bit tricky during deep winter. Not a Camino as such and I’ve not done it, but it looks good...
I would second the idea about the Mozárabe from Almería. If the weather goes very badly, you can count on the Association to keep you informed (and actually you can count on the Association to take care of you, they are amazing).
Here’s the...
That's very interesting. I have never heard of that. I'll have to investigate.
That's a good thought. It's a very mild winter in that part of the world, but the mountains are probably much colder. I will look into it.
Starting the Mozarabe in...
That was a point that I had forgotten to mention. No worries about winter closings because the association runs all of the albergues. On the Serrana, which I walked this past spring, we were almost always in private accommodations. So I don’t...
I´ve walked the Via Serrana but not the Via Augusta from Cadiz. The Via Serrana is beautiful but goes through some very significant mountains for a couple of days.

If your pilgrimage has the destination of Santiago, be prepared for weather, cold and wet . You might also. consider a starter Camino, to be completed later. Southern Spain will have better weather.
