Stage 1. Sevilla – Guillena (21.6 km)

We say goodbye to Seville and its “special color” from the Cathedral of Seville, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world, taking the road to Guillena. We will cross the Puerta de Triana and turn to the Isabel II Bridge, better known as the Triana Bridge. From here we cross the Guadalquivir basin, and continue to the Avenida de Carlos III, from where we turn off to cross the river over the bridge to find a fork on the other side. From here we can choose to go to Camas, or continue along the course of the river for a kilometre and a half and then turn off directly to Santiponce.

We continue leaving Santiponce behind us along the Avenida de Extremadura, which will take us to the Roman city of Italica, to head towards the N-630 and the A-66, which we will cross by an underpass to get to safety on the footpaths. We continue along the service road until we reach the entrance to Guillena.

To consider

This stage and the following ones pass through some of the hottest places in the country, such as Seville, where the temperature can go from 40º and up wards in the summer months, so we recommend that you do not walk in the hours of maximum temperatures until you get to Guillena, as well as that you hydrate well, especially if you do this route in summer or spring.
