    Thanks - I've been so confused between Donostia and all the different names. So I walk from the EAS airport to Hendaye train station. Looks like about an hour. Thank you!

    Excellent advice above. And just in case you are wondering, there is no border control on the bridge between Irun and Hendaye. Just walk right across!

    San Sebastian airport is not actually in San Sebastian but on the outskirts of Irun, which is on the border with France. From the airport you can actually walk into Irun, and then across the French border to the train station in Hendaye, which...

    Biarritz to St Jean de Luz is easy. It's mostly flat, and mostly on trails and paved paths near along the coast. You can use Gronze for descriptions and elevations, and Gronze maps for GPS. Two caveats - Gronze is only in Spanish, but if you...

    Thanks again, Nick. And for the definition of "Ospitalità Diffusa.". That's what we're mostly in, and couldn't figure out what it's supposed to mean. Looking forward to the route to Corleone tomorrow. We're there 2 days to take in the...

    Day 4: Prizzi to Castronovo di Sicilia — 24km An early morning exit from Prizzi gives a perspective unseen during yesterday’s entrance from the other direction: a town clinging to the hillside, half in shadow, waiting for the sun to rise over...

    Great summary, thanks! If you do this alternative and visit Monreale beforehand, all you miss from the regular route is Altofonte (a nice local village but nothing unmissable) and the views back towards Palermo and the Mediterranean, so it does...

    Ups are fine, if slow. It's the downs that are interesting. Thanks, Nick. Very clear. With short stage possibilities it would be fine.

    On the ‘distance-elevation problem scale’, I’d say the bigger issue by a fair way is elevation. There are a lot of ups and downs on the VdF. IIRC, I did 7-8 stages of approx 1000m ascent and the same in descent. Obviously shorter stages would...

    andycohn reacted to Marbe2's post in the thread Cinque Terra - one way walking only with Like Like.
    I have hiked this route many times. It is the blue path #2 from Monterossa heading southeast to Vernazza. It is approximately a 12 km section. It is a hilly and rocky section in part and also narrow in parts. The trail between Riomaggiore and...
