    via francigena question

    absolutely correct with @timr that it should not be a concern to get lost on the Gran San Bernardo pass but rather the criticality given by the health emergency from Sars cov 2. The Italian territory is in the red and / or orange zone at least until to April 30 (and I am sure you will draw your...

    How the Via Francigena is Different from the Camino de Santiago

    magnificent post! and great feedback from what you list. I can only testify for the Italian section where the costs are slightly higher than the CF but not as you "tried". My average daily shopping was around 35/40 euros, with frequent stops in bars and restaurants. it is a matter of asking for...

    2021 Holy Year

    a possible "pilgrimage of young Europeans to Santiago (Pej21)" was anticipated*. The event is expected to take place from 4 to 8 August 2021. *(except epidemic situation of covid-19) Young people from all over Europe are expected in Santiago to experience moments of encounter, prayer and...

    Don't grow up: It's a trap.

    I don't even think I fully understand this sentence in the sub-forum "Routes ending in Santiago de Compostela - Camino Frances" @alexwalker can you explain it ? 🙏

    Camino in Poland

    these signs / markers seem quite recent and I wanted to deepen the reason why they are on Polish soil, recalling that the Council of Europe had launched "The Cultural Routes program" (in fact) in Europe. The launch was "inaugurated" in 1987, with the certification (probably backwards) of the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    actually I have the same feeling as you .... but I must say that sometimes it is useful to read the comments and the published sources. I find it interesting. In the middle of everything there is always a link to the "camino" ... at least I think so. And basically it is inevitable to take the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    with all respect and without wanting to be offensive, @VNwalking , after 8 chapters of this thread, plus the one on covid-related math, where we talked about everything ... but absolutely everything ... I would say that your request is not consistent . Those who want to read the interventions...

    Care and maintenance of boots

    speaking in particular of boots, like you I also try to clean the biggest dirt (mud and pebbles in particular) with a suitable brush (if available) or a rag just slightly soaked in water. I always take off the soles. If I have a few hours of sunshine I put everything to dry .... I don't think...

    What does the 'spirit of the camino' mean to you?

    🤔 the spirit of the journey, in my opinion, is not on the real path, while you are walking it or a few days after returning home, when there is still a mix of joy, nostalgia, lightness and novelty. What I could define as the "spirit of the journey" should now live within you, in the daily...

    My Silent Camino - Ask me anything

    congratulations for this "challenge" you have won. you say "I think a person can learn a lot about himself, about communication and about the world in general from Silence" and ok, but honestly from your story it is not clear what you have learned and how it now reflects on your daily life (post...

    Poll Where do you come from?

    so is north america winning !?🤫 I have to say that there are many of you :) and it amazes me that as many have walked / pilgrimage in Europe, Spain in particular .... Due to the fact that the American land seems to me so rich in paths, trails, infinite landscapes and conformations .... Interesting!👐

    A few days on the Via Francigena in Tuscany

    I'm sorry, you must have traveled it in a year / season with above average values in terms of temperatures. Then July August and sometimes even June have always been the hottest months in Italy. For mosquitoes I agree with you ..... they are always too many! A situation to which they have not...

    A few days on the Via Francigena in Tuscany

    Despite the not exactly ideal moment, due to covid 19, we managed to find a place in the hostels (= albergue) for the reception of pilgrims. Booking is a must and recommended. I booked several days before. The average is 15 euros with breakfast. At worst there are always tourist facilities...
