    Via Augusta Impressions

    Those dogs scared the hell out of me. We took a right in front of the farm and round the back. Ended up on an overgrown track and finally into Las Cabezas. Which is lovely! It's great to read your reports, since so few people actually walk the Via Augusta.

    Via Augusta Impressions

    Was there two weeks ago. Met one pilgrim on the whole Via. How about you? I hope you'll take the route that goes via Alcalá de Guadaira, it's beautiful, and from Alcalá the walk into Sevilla avoids industrial zones completely. However, IMHO, that's two stages, about 38 km in total. I missed out...

    Same here, thank you for writing 10 years ago! I loved reading your story and compare. Not that much has changed really. :)

    Via Augusta Impressions

    Addendum to my previous remark about no albergues: We did find one albergue parroquial in El Cuervo. A slightly bewildered, but welcoming priest at the Iglesia San Jose (opposite Hostal Santa Ana) had a room available to us, with a blanket, pillow, toiletries and a shower/toilet too!. All...

    Cadiz to Seville in October (edit 2016)

    There is an alternative to the Dos Hermanas route, to Sevilla, via Alcalá Guadaíra. This route leads out of town, through miles of olive groves, and then into beautiful open fields, no cars, only cyclists, and after about 20 km you reach Alcalá, a nice town with a fortress on a hill and an...

    Cadiz to Seville in October (edit 2016)

    Update for 2019: We met another pilgrim the day before, the first and last one on the Via Augusta, and he had decided to take an alternative route, more to the left. We decided to diligently follow the arrows, so ended up along the same route that lovingkindness followed. It was mostly following...

    Cadiz to Seville in October (edit 2016)

    Wow, your walk didn't sound too good. For us this stretch was not a favourite either, although it had highlights. We walked to Lebrija early, to have breakfast there, it was 8km, through fields and flowers. Quite nice. In Lebrija there was a good breakfast restaurant, La Venta de Luis Rey, just...

    of toiletries, incl combs, toothbrushes and sanitary pads. And blankets. If you have your own sleeping bag liner and towel, you are comfy here. Hot shower and toilet on the other side of the church building. :)

    Cadiz to Seville in October (edit 2016)

    Ha, the rubbish is still there galore! This is dump litter camino! On the up: there was no dangerous roundabout anymore, so they must have improvedthe route. In El Cuervo we surprised the priest at the church San Jose with a request for a bed. But we got a room, with a bunkbed, fridge, fan...

    Cadiz to Seville in October (edit 2016)

    All still there I believe. We stayed at Fenix hostel in Jerez. The iglesia santiago in jerez, is polished and quite empty on the inside, and still weathered on the outside.

    Via Augusta

    Delphinoula, the markings so far are excellent. In combination with downloaded Via Augusta track on google maps for the urban areas, you can't go wrong. The cadiz santiago society has outdone itself. Applause! :)

    Via Augusta Impressions

    Am on the Via Augusta now, and yes, no need for towel or sleeping bag liner indeed. Enjoyed the wetlands today, loads of birds, looking forward to the rest of it. Don't like dogs, yikes!

    Cadiz to Seville in October (edit 2016)

    I'm on theVia Augusta, just arrived in Puerto Real. Arrow signposting has dramatically improved, there were arrows, either painted, or beautiful glazed tiles, everywhere. Staying at CasaTeo, a pension. Dbl room ensuite, 40 euros. Like you in 2009, we got totally soaked today in a rainstorm...
