Walked out of this pleasant dormitory for Seville,through an industrial estate,on to the original Camino.
Because of overnight rain, the path was very sodden and soon became muddy – the sort of goo that sticks to the soles and sides of your boots like putty – making heavy going for the first two kilometres.After a gradual ascent,it became less of a trial; scenery of Olive ,Orange trees and occasional pastures.Rare sight of a dwelling.
Plentiful wild flowers.
Some cattle, rabbits.
We spied a sign pointing to “Water”, in several languages and intrigued by such a rare facility,made for what was a well, that you primed by a pump; peaceful setting for a ham & cheese sandwich until we were joined by 30+ school children! from Seville, on a bit of a hike; lovely kids,as it turned out.Mac took some photos and we chatted to some of the staff and children.
Eventually, taking time to smell the flowers and avoid the boulders, we reached the Castillo de Blanco Hotel.
Washing done , beers in hand; after having managed to take a bloody sliver out of my elbow on the balcony door!
Found local restaurant in the village for an€8.00 Menu:- Gazpacho, Deer Stew,Pud,Glass of wine – Muy Bien!
Sounds amazing! Photo showed Mac doing a lot of sitting and drinking water! Sunny and warm in Birmingham. Tell Mac my November holiday to Bruges is booked.
