Due to very heavy rain in the Sevilla area on Friday (28 April 2017), there has been quite a bit of flooding. The arroyo Molinos (the stream that needs to be forded on the way to Guillena from Sevilla) was a full blown river this morning (29 April 2017). As we were walking towards the fording point, we were met by pilgrims walking back along the way. They told us that the water was easily chest high or higher and flowing fast. They also told us that the alternative route (short cut to the N-630) was also flooded and unusable. We had to walk all the way back to Santiponche and pick up the N-630 there. Due to the amount of water, I don't think it will be possible to ford the arroyo Molinos for the next few days. The good news is that there is no for rain forecast for the next week. Even walking into Santiponche this morning (29 April 2017) required wading without boots I places. The only possible walking route today was to walk on the N-630 out of Santiponche and then the A-460 into Guillena. Although there is a good shoulder for walking on both roads, there is a lot of fast traffic.

The third photo is the arroyo Molinos, taken looking down stream, as it flows under the A-66 toward the fording point.
