Wednesday oct. 29th 2014 Zafra – Villafranca de los Barros 19,2 km

  Wating for the store to open Albergue Fuenta de Cantos   Early morning I packed my scattered, meanwhile dried up togs, ate some bread with sausage, which I had been carrying for days, packed the horse and with the first sun rays I hit the road. Today I didn’t really feel relaxed, probably because

Monday 27 oct. 2014 Almaden de la Plata – Monesterio 27.5 km.

Bivouac as swineherd next to the pigs. Nice landscape Many half wild pigs Big guard dogs    Yesterday I arrived in Almaden. But because of the painful hindquarters of Leon (behind he has no irons and in front the irons are too worn), we didn’t advance quickly.  On the numerous gravel and rocky paths he 

26 oct. 2014 Sunday Almaden 29,2 km.

I slept in the open field under the open sky, while Leon was locked into a path, which was closed at one end by a fence, at the sides by wire and the other side was sealed by me by stretching a rope. Passing the night with Tosca against me also is no real fun,

Friday 24 Oct. 2014 Sevilla-Guillena 22,7 km.

For a horse Sevilla is a disaster. Fortunately, the route Via de la Plata is marked, because you can not lead a horse in one hand, in the other hand hold a dog and in the mean time read the road in a book or GPS. Fortunately one does not go through the busiest shopping 

Thursday 23 oct. 2014 from Cabezas to Utrera. More than 30 km.

On my way from Sacramento – Las Cabezas to Los Palacios. Today I had hardly anything to eat or to drink. In the shade the temperature was far above 30 degrees C. According to brother Jack temperatures in the sun on asphalt will get over 50 degees C. !! ?? According to the T.V. the 

Wednesday 22 oct. 2014 from Arcos to Cabezas

Yesterday, wednesday oct. 22nd, a phone call from los dos hermanos (my two brothers). They had an explanation for the strange noice under the car. The cardans of the jeep had gone to hell. A few days before they already had fixed a licenseplate. But the noice was not gone.   It would take my 

Tuesday 21 oct. 2014 Arcos 30 km.

Wow, again over 30 degrees C. Another 30 km. finished of which at least 10 km. on bloody hot asphalt. The rest of the route was o.k. thanks to an old man in shorts and with a hear device, who wanted to show me a shorter road. Great those Spanish! He joined me for many 

Monday 20 oct. 2014 Medina Sidonia – Paterna de Rivera 32 km

Today we walked 32 km. Of all bears that I expected on the road most are disappearing one after the other. Nice. I do see snakes on the road . Dog Tosca doesn’t get tired. Being a Dutch sheep dog she feels much superior over all these street dogs here, who sometimes 4 or 5
