Hi,
I am thinking of either walking the Via de la Plata - my favourite camino - a second time (aiming to reach Santiago in the holy year 2022) or of doing the Via Francigena to Rome in two stages of at about 2 weeks. Any suggestions for that?
How is the Via Francigena compared to the Via de la Plata (distances? people?). On my last caminos I averaged 25 to 27 km a day, walked 30 km plus on subsequent days and have no problem with distances up to 35 km occasionally.
I do not have to walk in sight of other pilgrims the whole day, but it is important to me to reunite with other pilgrims in the albergue in the evening. Is it useful to know some Italian? I have started a language course recently and hope that I will learn enough to be able to articulate my pilgrim needs within the next year.
