Three days from Sevilla

I’ve now met a few pilgrims. Sarah, from Colorado caught up with me in Camas, the first town outside of Sevilla. Geert, from Holland found us the next day as did Fabio from Italy. It is the first Camino for these three. I’m enjoying the conversation. Yesterday I walked with Sarah from Gallena to Castilblanco de los Arroys. Today we all walked separately as I knew I would walk slower. If I try and do 6km per hour my knees really take a beating. However, 5 seems fine. And today was 29km total. About 27km undulating and then the grouse grind for 1km and then 1km of downhill which I do backwards. I’m now settled in the same albergue as Fabio. Very clean and lovely but no heat. The temp outside is 9c. Fortunately there are lots of polar fleece blankets on the 10 beds so Fabio and I will be bundled tonight. I’m going to dinner soon and hoping I won’t have to settle for just tapas. I had the wit to buy a small quest bocadilla this morning before leaving town and I also have a chocolate bar which I broke open today. 

Tomorrow is only 14km.
