Hi John
I suggest you visit the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome, website/ Facebook.. This organisation has details on accommodation and lots more. Lucca to Rome is a great section to do and you will miss a lot if you just walk all day.

I set the question a couple of months ago. Since then having read the many posts we started out from Leon on Tuesday morning 10th April and have walked for 6 days. We will climb the mountain to O Cebreiro tomorrow morning.
The weather has been dry and hot all week. We decided to buy Salomon...
I did ask about footwear in a forum topic months ago and have to say the Salomon trail runners have been superb. 4 days in and no blisters.
Really pleased no boots. Thanks for all the advice. We took it.
Arrived at Molinaseca today after the walk down from the Cruz de Ferro. Weather still fantastic. Being a religious holiday hard to find the Pilgrim meal but had a superb main course in the town. Another religious procession tonight.
Met a number of people today. We started at Leon so takes time...

We are trying see what most people wore as we would normally wear leather boots but can see there is a lot of Tarmac and very good paths. Therefore should it be trail or trainers? Possibly someone will tell us why one against the other. Is it wet in April and does the paths have areas...
