It's day 10 of 34 in Spain. I've got a hole in my scheduled destinations but didn't figure it would rain for the next week. I was going to do the next five days slowly in small towns to work on my Spanish and eat what the locals eat. Between this and last year I've spent all the time I wanted in Barcelona, Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Cadiz and Tarifa and Morocco.
Although I'm retired, I still carry a backpack and front pack. I really don't enjoy doing that in the rain, especially at the distances between town and train/bus stations I've read about. I hate it when walking from place to place looking for a room. I usually book ahead, but local looking may be necessary in such towns.
So, plan B is base camp in Seville for day trips. I've stayed 2 nights in a neighborhood with a bus line that connects the Santa Justa station and the Pardo bus station. Everything I need would be a short walk.
That's my plan, though I'm hoping for and open to posts saying 'But did you think/know about this...'
