A rather long flight today with much stronger headwinds than forecast so at the beginning of the flight, ground speed was down to 115 kt – not good. I flew this leg.
We were in clear weather for most of the way with an undercast below which cleared once we were over the Spanish mainland. However the sun then disappeared behind high cloud and it became rather hazy as we approached Seville.
The airport was busy with a fair amount of CAT and military traffic together with the occasional GA movement from the flying school at Jerez.
After refuelling, a 20 minute taxi ride to our hotel just opposite the cathedral and a pleasant walk around the old part of the city as the sky cleared and the sun set.
Avignon to Seville: 704 nm in 5 hr 30 min
