    Is late October too late to start walking the Le Puy route?

    My husband and I (73 and 69) walked from LePuy to SJPP 2018 from mid September to 3rd week of October. As we neared the end we found several of the gites were closing that week. It was a lovely walk, but I would advise you to wait until you can start early or mid September.

    What's the best map for an overview of the Le Puy Route?

    We used 4 guidebooks: Michelin Chemins de Compostelle. Great, compact book including itineraries, topo profile, lodging info. Lightfoot Guide to Via Podiensis LePuy -Roncevaux. Great, detailed directions and lodging information. MiamMiamDodo LaCarte. Great maps with topography and good city...

    Portugal or Italy for next Camino

    Interesting that you brought up Via de la Plata. I had just been reading a little about it. I’m not excited to hear about the poor walking surfaces in Portugal. But also glad to hear that it was beautiful. Hard to decide which walk to do... I started our 6 week walk last year in France...

    Portugal or Italy for next Camino

    Wonderful!!! Thank-you so much! We will check it out and then I'm sure we will have questions!! We are also considering the Portuguese route and Camino Norte. Do you have any thoughts about which route we shouldn't miss. We are 74 and 70. We hope to do a walk each year until we can't...

    How was the Camino Norte? We were considering that also but didn't know if it would be too much climbing... How was the climbing, the accommodations, the scenery. How many days did you walk? Thanks!!

    Someone just recommended on my thread the Via Francegena site: https://www.viefrancigene.org We are considering a walk in Italy fall of 2019. We also are looking for information. Good luck! I have Cicerone's The Way of St. Francis, from Florence to Assisi and Rome.

    What's the best map for an overview of the Le Puy Route?

    These are the 4 books we carried, in order of our use of them: We used the Michelin Chemins de Compostelle. Great overview of distances, services available, places to stay...plus map. Minimal weight. Most used. Also had Miam Miam Dodo LaCarte GR65. Fold out maps with distances, services...

    Portugal or Italy for next Camino

    Thank you to all who have responded to my question. Yes, I understand and agree with what you are saying about definition of pilgrim spirit. When we started our walk in LePuy, FR, I missed the spirit we felt on the Camino Frances. But I gradually adapted and grew to love the quiet. And...

    Portugal or Italy for next Camino

    Thank you so much for your input!!! Pilgrim spirit is an important aspect for us also! We have been reading a lot about both walks and couldn’t decide. But I think now the decision is made. We should do Portugal! Also, we love the Brierly guide and we just received the 2019 edition. We will...
