The Camino Mozárabe from Málaga crosses sunny Andalusian hills into wide Extremaduran plains, with long, exposed stretches and limited shade. March and November fall within the late winter–early spring and late autumn windows described for cooler, steadier walking conditions. Elsewhere through the year, heat can surge quickly inland in late spring and summer, while midwinter sees frequent rain and the shortest days, with transitional periods bringing greener hillsides, cool mornings, and passing showers.
