    Pleasures of urban walking

    Need Advice Siena to Rome on Via Francigena

    Looking to walk from Siena to Rome in June. Would love to hear of your experiences. How many days? If you took rest days where and why? Lodging (looking for private room)? Comparisons to Caminos that end In Santiago? Any and all advice welcome. Thanks

    Great place. I loved Tui as well

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Yes the Cathedral was beautiful and much appreciated and the Pilgrim Mass was moving even though Boafumeiro was not used. But what I found special along The Way were the quite hours of prayer as I walked each day.
