Monday, 22nd of April 2013 - day 62
We are up early-ish and start walking, we got our first stamp of the Via de la Plata the other day, so are on our way following the scallop shell. We are on the way, about an 2hours we reach Santiponce, we stop for breakfast and coffee and reflect on our time to get to this point and our time in Seville.
Then its up and off as we leave the the suburbs we leave the roads and follow the camino path, no cars allowed. It is great to be able to just walk and not worry about getting run over. Just north of Santiponce are the ruins of a Roman Amphitheatre .... we reflect for a while then on again, relaxing walking ..... we meet other pilgrims .... them spick and span and enthusiastic about there great journey .... they are stunned when we say we are 100km plus into our pilgrimage already.There is one middle aged guy who seems to pop up regularly during our walk to talk to us, we find it annoying after a while, but we are polite ... we wonder if we have become insular to others, protecting our space?
we reach Guillena early afternoon its pleasant enough being around mid 20's. Lunch with several other pilgrims and our interloper. then off to stand in line for when the Albergue opens.
We get a room that accommodates 6, well not too bad luckily no one else fills the spare bunk and we relax, have diner .... give the pilgrims meal a go and a pitcher of vino, then emails and sleep.
