Hello !
Has anyone done (quite recently) the via Francigena del sud from Rome to further south ?
If so could you give information on accomodation or all other things ?
Thanks so much.
NB : I can only post here as there is no forum for Via Francigena del Sud from Rome to St Maria de Leuca
Has anybody walked on the Via Domitia ?
It is a pilgrimage route from MontGenevre to Arles and leads to Santiago on one way and to Rome on the other.
I would like to walk it but find very littel information.
Thanks

Of course that a low-cost albergue would not be one without the staff volunteers.
Yes, the tradition of donativo is a bizarre notion to Capitalists but they seem to appreciate it a lot...
There is often a confusion concerning donativos, it is not "something for nothing" it is "something for...
You are maybe right, but when I walk on caminos I discuss with pilgrims about St James and most don't even seem to know what he has done so it's difficult to imagine that they have come from so far and are walking for weeks just in worship for him
You could also say the reverse : Without...
No, most people do not do the camino because of St James remains, nor to do with christianity. They do the caminos de Santiago mainly because :
- It is the only place in the world where you can walk for many days on and have every night a very cheap place to sleep.
- You have the opportunaty...
