The six-day march against closure left Jerez on its second leg on Tuesday morning
Workers from the Delphi car parts factory in Puerto Real, near Cádiz, started the second leg of their protest march to Seville on Tuesday, on a journey which began on Monday and which they expect to take six days to complete.
They are expected to reach the offices of the Junta de Andalucía in Seville on Saturday after covering a distance of 119 kms.
The 150 workers spent Monday night in a sports stadium in Jerez de la Frontera, and set off again at 9 the next morning. They covered 25 kms on their first day and say that spirits are high and no-one has dropped out so far.
The march is part of their campaign of protests against plans to close the plant, which would mean the loss of more than 1,600 direct jobs.
