Dear members and friends of Camino:

We would like to inform you that DANA and the torrential rains that have devastated our province have also destroyed our Mozarabe Way.
Specifically, the stages from Malaga to Almogía and later to Villanueva de la Concepcion and Antequera are CLOSED.
Just like the Almogía and Villanueva de la Concepción Shelters, they are also CLOSED. Our recommendation is to start from Antequera that is passable. Unfortunately this situation could continue over time.

Once the current poor state can be corrected, together with the respective institutions, we will inform you.

Sad news but thank you for the information. Can you please update the thread if anything changes?

Sad news indeed, for all concerned.
I'm informed that there are no issues for pilgrims on the Almeria to Granada section of the Mozerabe Thankfully, all passable at present.

Yes to confirm as well, I have a friend walking from Almeria and it's all good !

Do they have any idea when it will be possible again to walk from Malaga. Will it not be possible for weeks or month? Or even longer?

Gronze currently has a warning on their page for the Málaga - Almogía stage that pilgrims are advised to start after Antequera. I would continue to check that page.

El ramal malagueño del Camino Mozárabe arranca en la iglesia de Santiago, en el casco histórico de Málaga, y atraviesa la ciudad en dirección oeste, rumbo al interior. La primera mitad de la etapa es un recorrido urbano y aburrido hasta Junta de los Caminos, último punto con servicios; allí...

Thanks @trecile .
Latest Feedback from the Asociación Jacobea de Malaga "The first three stages from the Junta de los Caminos, in Puerto del la Torre, to Antequera remain closed. The worst part is in the area of Almogia. The shelters are open only to people who lost their homes."

Met two pilgrims (between Villanueva de la Concepción and Antequera) who confirmed the route from malaga to Antequera is easily manageable, contrary to what gronze and the Mozarabe association have communicated. They both recommended phoning the destination Albergue in advance to confirm accommodation is open and available. Thanks to Oliver (from Benalmadena) and James (from the Netherlands) for their insight and photos. See attached photos provided by our Spanish pilgrim. Route near Almogía is still soft under foot.

The warning on Gronze has been removed. So it looks like (I hope) it is possible to walk from Malaga again. I am planning to walk from Malaga in februari.
