Left the Hotel Catalan and headed through pine trees and the suburbs of Puerto Real to rejoin the Camino de Santiago following its alternative route at the edge of salt marshes beside the railway track. Lots of birds of various sorts, I could only identifying the house martins skimming above the water for flies. I left this trail at the Bario Jarana and headed up the road towards Chiclana. This joined a Via Verde which ran beside the road for several kilometres. Examining one of the signs suggested I could probably have added a few more kilometres on one of these green roads by going through Meadero Reina (translated as the Queen's urinal by Google)!
After a lengthy walk through the built up areas around Chiclana (and a large plate of seafood tortillas for lunch) I reached the Atlantic Ocean again (last time was four weeks ago in Sagres) and a beach front promenade with Sunday couples and families (mainly more elderly) braving the stiff breeze or having a coffee or beer at a sea front cafe.
Staying at the Hotel El Campanerio on the seafront. Ate at a fish restaurant and paid rather a lot for some kind of flat fish, a bit like a flounder, nice ambiance however.
