arrived in Spain

Camera mem card is full with no internet station in site…

The trip to Spain from Albufeira has been a hot one. It’s 37 C here and humid today. Only the ghetto-train went to the border…you know, the one with no A/C that stops at every single station along the way while the sun roasts the big rusty metal toaster of a train like it’s an oven.

There is no information anywhere about how to get to Spain from the final train station in Portugal. Trick is to hike in the baking sun about 1 km to the ferry station, take the ferry 15 minutes across the river, then walk another mile to the bus station in Spain. No signs describe any of this, yet it seems like people must do it all the time. I was part of a 5-person group that managed to make the trek without getting too lost.
The Let’s Go book was useless for tips on doing this.

2.5 hrs to Seville!
