We did most of our walking in 30deg sunshine, I never expected it to be that hot and I loved to see the sun in late September/early October.

I did feel the heat on day four which was our longest walking day of 38km, by the time we finished my legs were sore with sunburn 🙁

Although this is a very quiet walk we did meet a few lovely people, there was Andrea from Germany with her Polish boyfriend also Michael and Manuel who shared breakfast with me on my birthday 🙂

My week in Spain took me from Seville to Los Santos de Maimona.

Walking along The Via De La Plata

The Via de la Plata is the longest of the pilgrim routes in Spain, starting from Seville in Andalucia, and running northwards through the proviinces of Extremadura and Castilla y Leon to Salamanca and Zamora.

Day 1  Seville to Guillena … 23km

Day 2 Guillena to Castilblanco de los Arroyos …19km

Day 3 Castilblanco to Almaden de le Plata ….28km

Day 4 Almaden de la Plata to Monesterio ….38km

Day 5 Monesterio to Fuente de Cantos….. 22km

Day 6 Fuente de cantos to Santos de Maimona …..31km

Total distance walked was 161km but this did not include the miles we walked looking for food, bars,and free wi-fi connections so I certainly broke my 100 mile target 🙂

It was an amazing week and once again I cannot find the words to thank Geoff enough for giving me this fantastic opportunity.
