Hi Ivar; I'm planning to walk any of the last 100 km (time constraints) starting Christmas and reaching New Year's Eve Santiago. I would be happy to hear some advice on feasibility and hotels and options for participating in events. I live in Spain(Barcelona) and have travelled the Camino Frances by bike and foot last year. Thanks, Simon
Having been on the Camino in 2018, my book "Without Oars: Casting Off into a Life of Prilgimage" was just released this week. https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/productgroup/1949/Without-Oars How pilgrimage transforms our spiritual journey.

Via Francigena starting in March 2021, I’m looking for a walking partner for the journey
I understand that this might not be an easy person to find, given that we all walk for different reasons at different paces and with different needs. However , given the length of the journey I believe there would be many advantages to having a walking partner .Drop me a line if you’re interested
