    Walks on the Via Francigena in 2024

    "Free" walks? One doesn't usually pay!

    Lucca to Rome - Should I?

    There will be many pilgrims on that stretch in September, but there is plenty of accommodation. Have a look at https://www.viefrancigene.org/en/accommodations-facilities/. Waymarking is good, and it would be difficult to get lost.

    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    I guess that's why it was my favourite of all. Though I found plenty of pilgrims...back in 2013

    Spanish Induction Stove Tops...Alien Tech? or How to operate controls?

    But you don't say how...

    One Day Walk out of Santiago ?

    You could take the train to Padrón (it only takes a few minutes) and walk in on the last 20+km of the Portugués.

    what does Gronze use for stages in the Via Francigena

    I would emphatically recommend the Lightfoot Guide by Paul Chinn. It gives route variants which can save time and energy over the 'official' route which zigzags all over the place in France.

    Spain is a civilised country. Water is safe unless specified otherwise.

    Easter Sunday 2024 - March 31. What does this mean?

    They do not mean 'Easter week', which is the week following Easter Sunday. They mean Holy Week, which is from Palm Sunday to the end of the day before Easter Sunday. Holy Week in Spain sees many processions.

    Sellos on the Francigena

    In Italian timbro; in French tampon. The stamps are more easy to come by in Italy, but the French are waking up to it as well. Also you can get one at the churches between Canterbury and Dover.

    Info on Via Francigena?

    As @Bradypus says, the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome exists to give information and support to pilgrims wanting to walk or cycle to Rome. Their website provides a free planning pdf which can be downloaded https://pilgrimstorome.org.uk/planning/, and there is also an email information service...
