Magna Via Francigena

[KRA2018]

Apologies if this has been posted previously - but this looks like a wonderful walk in Sicily

A pilgrim’s (rather slow) progress on Sicily’s most recent long-distance trail

The Magna Via Francigena, from Palermo to Agrigento, became a pilgrimage in 2017 and locals are embracing the new visitors

It IS a wonderful walk! extremely hot in summer. I did it at the end of March (2019) when there had been exceptional rainfall, and the mud was terrible! It took an hour to walk one km at times, and there were waist-height swollen rivers to cross. All good fun (in retrospect!). It's worth it, but at 72 I found it quite strenuous.

Sicily is beautiful!
