Buen Camino!.
Day 8: Racalmuto to Agrigento — 33km It’s supposed to be two stages to Agrigento, but the ‘arrival anticipation adrenaline’ kicks in early this morning and I decide to try to make it to the end in one day. The evocative landscapes, more... -

Day 7: Campofranco to Racalmuto — 17km A dawn descent from Campofranco plunges me into the fog for the first time on this cammino. The rocky massifs on my right are almost close enough to touch, but I can barely make them out. Forty-five minutes...

The thing that I struggled with a bit on my days 3-5 wasn’t monotony, but what I’ve been calling ‘a lack of connection to the land’. The scenery was pleasant enough but I felt I could have been anywhere and that there wasn’t anything that...

Day 6: San Giovanni Gemini to Campofranco — 22km I wake up (unintentionally) at 5:30am and by dawn, 45 minutes later, I’m out the door. The sky is clear in the early morning, there’s an empty path ahead of me, and my spirits are high even though...

Continuing from above: For the rest of this section, Nick's suggestions are spot on, and his descriptions can't be matched. Specifically: 1. His means of avoiding the long detour when you first encounter the SS38 is perfect. Saved us, two...

Andy & Kate's Day 2: To Corleone: What a difference 3 days make! When Nick came through, (see post #9), the sun was beating down relentlessly, and there was no mention of difficult trail. But for us, rain and temps in the single digits turned...

J.Patrick replied to the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024.I’m recovering from a hernia surgery (all well, if a bit painful), and your accounts are a balm for my pilgrim heart. Thank you, thank you!

Day 5: Castronovo to Cammarata / San Giovanni Gemini — 12.5km I consider combining two stages into one and walking 31km today, but given the bleak forecast, I opt for a short stage instead, and am content with that choice — even more so when it...

Day 4: Prizzi to Castronovo di Sicilia — 24km An early morning exit from Prizzi gives a perspective unseen during yesterday’s entrance from the other direction: a town clinging to the hillside, half in shadow, waiting for the sun to rise over...

Day 3: Corleone to Prizzi — 20km There’s no easing into the camino this morning; it’s uphill from the very first step through the alleyways of Corleone all the way up to the Saracen Tower that surveys the town from a rocky outcrop. The tower is...
