About
Six hundred fifteen point seven kilometers from Córdoba to Mérida, a journey through olive groves, ancient towns, and sun-soaked hills. The Camino Mozarabe challenges seasoned trekkers with 4,000 meters of elevation gain across 16 stages.
It begins at the iconic Mezquita, where the scent of orange blossoms drifts through the air, and ends at the Roman Theatre, a testament to centuries past. This spiritual route reveals the heart of Andalusia, where every stone whispers stories of history, faith, and the relentless pursuit of clarity.
