It’s mixed. Lots of bars use cashless contact but most Albergues require cash so I would advise always having enough cash to cover couple days accommodation food etc. larger towns have cash machines
Hi I stayed at Triana backpackers hostel. Was € 16 for pilgrims. Accommodation was good in a dorm for 6 with a good breakfast in morning. I know Easter prices are dear. Depending on when your flight gets in you could walk out to guillena or santiponce.
Going north I crossed to the right There was a track through the reads to where there stream was broken into a few channels and so easier to jump across, but there had been no rain so was not high
To Zafra the route is through open countryside with mix of cereal crops olive trees and vines. The route is a good gravel track and you walk along the side of the main rd for approx 250 meters on the old rd. the route then goes through farm land along tractor/ farm tracks and crosses 2 streams...
in Cazadilla de los Barros tonight Pension Los Rodriguez. €15 single room €30 double with en-suite but worlds smallest shower. This seems to be the only place to eat in town. Menu 3 courses around €14.
Walk out of Monesterio is along gravel Rd through fields with stone walls and oak tree...
Hi Anton safe travels
I’m not sure how far I’m walking on vdlp so you might want to add to/ take over an on going update. In terms on current numbers I am part of a group of 4 pilgrims walk seperately but meet up in the end stages plus there is another a bit ahead.
Monesterio tonight in El Pilar hotel- mix up on arrival thought it was parochial Albergue!? €45 shared room. It’s nice and comfy etc
Good path out of El Real de la Jara again wide gravel track. Little stream running across path before the ruined castle just outside the town. Lovely scenery oaks...
