    Info on Via Francigena?

    Good day, I just saw your question regarding the Via Francigena. Did you ever got any info or did you do it already as I also plan to walk the Tuscany part but have no idea where to begin and how long it will be. I really need info?

    Children and the Via Francigena

    Hello my name is Marietjie and I am from South Africa. A friend ask me the other day if it is possible to walk part of the via Francigena with an eight year old child. Is it to remote?

    Warning to Women Walking Solo

    I wonder if one can take pepper spray in to either Spain or Italy? I can buy it in my country which is quite dangerous at the moment to move around as a single woman!:oops:

    My New Camino Marker

    Well, I hope so too, but I believe it is not peregrinos who vandalised the Cathedral in Santiago and that is only one example. But yes, I totally agree that peregrinos must respect the property and privacy of all the locals along the way and more, try to at least greet them in their own...

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Hi Tim, Which specific route do you recommend on the Mont Blanc, from where to where? I would like to walk in May (Spring), what do you recommend? What about accommodation en route?

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Hi Jill, How are you? Glad to hear from you again. Thanks for the information. Although Mont Blanc is not really a pilgrims route so to speak. Maybe all depends on your own experience?!

    Italy...Via Francigena or Way of St. Francis?

    Tim, I would like more info on Mont Blanc, as a friend and I wish to hike in May next year. Please reply on my email, as this is a Camino forum and I assume we are not allowed to talk about other hikes? [ivar edited out e-mail address. Please use Private Message]

    The waterbottle mystery

    Talking about stuff outside houses....when I did my first Camino way back, people along the route put stuff, fruit , vegetables outside their houses for the pilgrims or even stop us and offer as vegetables, like tomatoes. Last year I did a part of the Via de la Plata and apart from a friendly...
