Mozarabic Way, Argaric Route, Argaric Route from Almeria

The Mozarabic Way is a network of Jacobean routes designed for pilgrimages starting from the various provincial capitals of eastern and central Andalusia: Almeria, Granada, Jaen, Malaga and Cordoba. The different branches originating in these cities converge to form a network of paths heading northwest, eventually joining the Silver Way in Merida. Meanwhile, the Argaric Route and the Argaric Route from Almeria are two Jacobean routes originating in the southeastern region of the peninsula, where the ancient Argaric culture flourished and from which they take their name. The original Argaric Route starts in Lorca and heads toward the center of the peninsula, while the Argaric Route from Almeria is an extension of that route that runs along the eastern coast of the province of Almeria.

The longest branch of the Mozarabic Way begins in Almeria and reaches Granada, traveling through the interior of their respective provinces and passing north of the Sierra Nevada. From Granada, the Mozarabic Way continues to Baena, traversing the provinces of Granada, Jaen and Cordoba and winding through endless olive groves. A shorter branch, which begins in Jaen and ends in Alcaudete, running entirely within the province of Jaen, merges with this main branch.

The second main branch of the Mozarabic Way starts in Malaga and ends in Baena, where it meets the branch coming from Almeria, Granada and Jaen. It runs through the provinces of Malaga and Cordoba, crossing the Malagan and Subbetican mountain ranges. From Baena, the route follows a shared path that first reaches Cordoba and then continues to Merida, where it joins the Silver Way. It traverses the provinces of Cordoba and Badajoz, crossing the Sierra Morena mountains in a northwesterly direction until it reaches the heart of Extremadura.

The Argaric Route is a Jacobean route that begins in Lorca and runs northwest through areas relatively far removed from major transportation routes. It traverses the provinces of Murcia, Albacete, Ciudad Real and Toledo, ending in Mora, where it connects with the Eastern Way. Notable highlights include its passage through areas of great natural value, such as the Sierra of Alcaraz and the Ruidera Lagoons.

The Argaric Route from Almeria is an extension of the Argaric Route, which begins in Almeria and ends in Lorca. A large part of the route runs along the eastern coast of Almeria province before continuing into the province of Murcia. Its passage through the Gata-Nijar Cape Natural Park is a particular highlight.
