Day 14 - Cabezas de San Juan - Utrera

After some 22 miles today we limped into Utrera rather than marched!  Ana Maria is still having problems with one of her blisters and although it is getting better it is still quite painful.


We failed to get up as planned this morning as our alarm failed to go off!  Eventually we left at 0550hrs and reached Utrera exactly 9 hours later, having stopped several times en route to tend to feet.  This evening we got our credencial stamped at the beautiful church of Santiago here in Utrera. 



The walk today was fairly uneventful, mainly walking along irrigation canals and cross country on earth and gravel paths.  We went past huge plantations of sugar beet and wheat, and passed the time of day with some of the workers who were curious about our walking sticks.


Tomorrow we have another 22 miles to go.  However, if Ana Maria's foot has not improved we may stop half way at the town of Dos Hermanas, in which case we will reach Seville on Sunday.
