Stage 3 Via de la Plata help

[Tezza]

Hi all!
I'm planning on walking for a couple of weeks from Seville. All the stages look manageable expect Stage 3 from Castiblanco de los Arroyos to Almaden de la Plata - it's too long for me to manage. I can't see any way to shorten it! Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Buen Camino

Many people take a taxi for the first 16 km or so (on the road), to the entrance of the parque/finca El Berrocal. The taxis in Castiblanco are very familiar with this!

If you want to walk all the way you can walk to the entrance of the national park and phone a taxi from there and go back to Castilblanco or to Almaden and next day take a taxi back to the enteance. I did this stage twice and did not bother to walk the first 16 dull asphaltkilometers. Most of the times you can share a taxi, the hospitalero is used to this and will arrange this
