    A camino through Lourdes

    I walked this route in 2013...but went on to St. Jean Pep instead of Jaca. I then walked to Santiago...and on to Fatima I. Portugal. I these were perfect Book ends.

    Orisson or onwards to Roncesvalles

    If you have the. If you have the time...DEFINITELY take in Orrison. You can sleep in and not be un the mad dash up the mountain. Plus its a wonderful sunset with a beer out on the veranda overlooking the valley.

    Early stage Via Francigena planning query and the town of Robbio

    It took me 4 days to reach Canterbury, then another day to reach Dover. The UK is not in the Schengen area, so it doesnt count against the days on the Continent. I did the hike in 110 days...and did it without a Schengen visa extension. As long as you exit via Italy, Spain or Portugal (Southern...

    Hiking at Night?

    Night Hiking is great! ,,, and i strongly encourage it. Depending on where you are, you might be able to roll out of bed at 2.30am and have everything already pack, out to the Trail by 3am. I did a night on the Mesita that way....hiking from Calzadilla de los Hermanillos to Mansilla de las Mulas...

    Early stage Via Francigena planning query and the town of Robbio

    Are you using Lightfoots guide to plan your trip? That is the best and more accurate. I did 24k out of Vercelli into Nicorvo and stayed at the Casa Parrocchiale in town.

    Fly into ?

    I flew from Atlanta to Paris, then flew back from Lisbon. It was just i wanted to booked my Camino with some sightseeing. I started in Lourdes, and the 6 days of walking prior to the Camino was a real blessing.

    The Meseta.

    Im glad you decided to do this part of the Camino. Depending on the time of year you are going ...its beautiful desolation. You can go long distances...and it builds your stamina for the hills in Galicia. There are quite a few wonderful ALbergues - dont miss the Hosel in Sanbol. Its a primitive...
