You will be hardpressed to do anything under 20 km so plan on quite a few breaks. Just don't expect bars! The first day is about 18 to Guillena. The day to Almaden - if you are only walking less than 20 km then take a taxi along the highway section to the start of the National Park.Hello, I'm doing a 2 week walk starting Seville in a week's time.
I'm going with start with a friend who can only walk for a few days and for whom this is going to quite an adventure. Can any one send some encouraging words about what she can expect please? C0uld anyone send some answers to a few questions please:
Many thanks
- We might not be able to walk full stages to start, maybe around 10 - 15 km. Any ideas about albergues/accommodation to break up the first few stages a little please?
- If my friend decides to only walk two or three days is there any public transport back to Seville? What would be a good place to get it from.
- Any good accommodation ideas in Seville please?
- Can we get credencials in Seville?

You could walk 10k to Italica on your first day, with only a day pack, and get the bus back to Seville. There is a very regular public bus service. Next morning get the bus to Italica and walk the 11k to Guillena. This gives a gentle two days start, and the opportunity to see the Roman ruins at Italica at leisure.
Enjoy!

In Sevilla, I would look into Air BNB. I stayed at the Triana albergue and it was hot, noisy and claustrophobic. I also stayed in small pension in a great location (can’t remember the name),but for the same 50€ I think you’ll do better with Air BNB, especially if there are two of you.
Not this time! After a couple of nasty times with osteoarthritis in my knee last year I have decided to take this one very gently - light pack and shorter daily stages. If I manage to finish as planned without any more serious flare-ups then I hope to walk in Japan later this spring. The tent may come with me there.Very envious @Bradypusbut wishing you all the best! Hope it all goes well for you . Are you taking your new tent?

The camping ground was closed and abandoned when I went by last June. I was looking forward to a cold drink there! But there is refreshment at the big supermercado by the roundabout when you join the highway.On the day to Monasterio there is potential accommodation around Ojala and between there and Monasterio is a camping ground.
It'd be worth having your friend persevere to Castilblanco, The Guillena - Castilblanco stage is real camino.Thanks everyone, my friend is only going to walk the first two days and head back, just to dip her toe in the Camino experience after a few years. As recommended, we'll divide the first stage into 2 days, take our time, she can bus back from Guillena, and then ..... I'm off and running!
