gmburns -> Flamenco Hikes (May 29 2015 16:03:42)

Hey guys,
Long time no talk. Life has been crazy here. First off, US Immigration isn't the most helpful and let's just leave it at that. We were hoping to be in Maine by the end of summer and now we're looking at arriving in December. The Brasilian wife is going to love arriving in sub-freezing weather at the same time the beaches are calling her name south of the equator, but that's something else.
I have a question for those who have spent some time in Andalucia. My wife has wanted to do the Santiago Way for some time, and it looks as if we may have an opportunity time-wise to do so in Sept or Oct. However, neither of us think we have the cash for such a long hike, so we're thinking something shorter. I've seen the Via de la Plata, which is essentially the Sevilla-to-Santiago version of the more famous French route, but that looks longer than the northern route so that's out.
Any idea if there are any multi-day hikes in Andalucia that may bring us through flamenco country? We're not looking at day-trips plus a train or bus. We're looking to go from town to town on foot.
I've done some research, and this website here (http://www.andalucia.org/en/routes/types/flamenco-routes/ apparently has some stuff, but I'm not sure how the actually hiking is. It says that these are hikes, but there's little actual hiking info and the map at the bottom gives distance time in driving hours, so that's not particularly helpful with regards to finding the trails.
Any advice? Suggestions? So yeah, I know there are many options, but we're hoping for about 2 weeks walking from point A to point B with no motorized transportation unless we need to or to get back to the original place if need be.
I hope all is well with you. I miss my 1500-strong flamenco playlist on Grooveshark. [:(]
Greg
