    Need some new route advice

    How about La Voie de Rocamadour in France it's about 260km from Bénévent-l'Abbaye to Rocamadour, a beautiful sanctuary to Our Lady built into the rocks. I did it in 2017 and don't recall it being particularly challenging. Lots of nice little French towns to stay in and I had no problem finding...

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    That would be great. What you have written on this thread is really quite thorough, thank you for taking the time and trouble to describe it. It seems a very useful detour away from the CF for those who are looking for an alternative.

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    About how many days will you be away for on each section of the pilgrimage.? I am doing about 3 weeks at a time and I wondered if that was similar to you or if you were away for longer each time.

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    This is a great pilgrimage! I am doing the reverse, walking from Rome to Santiago. I have got as far as Jaca. I really wish I'd thought of this route and taking the ferry Barcelona to Genoa. Its very satisfying following the routes of medieval pilgrims, and I would probably have arrived at...

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    Thank you very much for your summary, I really appreciated your live from posts on the section in France as I was a few days behind you. I am doing the rest of the Aragones in the autumn so this is really helpful. Wishing you all the best whatever you decide next.

    Camino fatigue?

    Thank you Luka for your honest and refreshing post. I have been walking caminos in France, Italy and Spain since 2012 and my enthusiasm has gradually worn away. The initial excitement of my first Camino is remembered fondly and I have many other wonderful memories from all the places I have...

    Your most valuable stamp

    Last October I was on the Menton - Arles section and was feeling really fed up with my pilgrimage from Rome and considering making that section my last. I took a small detour to the sanctuary Notre Dame des Graces in Cotignac and the next day walked to the nearby sanctuary to St Joseph. They...

    Lebaniego

    Good idea, I took a rest day there myself. In fact I left my backpack at the hotel in Potes while I walked to the monastery of Santo Toribio . I got a sello and a certificate of completing the camino in the gift shop there. The Camno Lebaniego was a detour I took from the Camino Norte . On the...

    Lebaniego

    I walked this route a few years ago, 2016. If you have time (and you like that sort of thing) there is an excellent museum in Potes in the torre del infantado, a medieval building in the centre of the town with an exhibition on the life and works of Beatus de Lebaniego which I thought was...

    Camino Aragonês notes and observations April '24

    I enjoyed reading your report as I was on the route perhaps a day ahead of you but not adventurous enough to walk the path!

    Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Jaca (not quite live from the camino )

    Day 4: Canfrac Estacion to Jaca (Fri 19th) I took the bus because I understand the pilgrim bridge is not in use. I was supposed to get off at Canfranc but not paying attention so it was Villanua. Much warmer than yesterday but not as hot as in Pau the previous Sunday at 30°C! The camino ran...

    Via di Francesco (Italy)

    I agree the Via di Francesco is a wonderful route, i walked from Florence to Assisi and then Assisi to Rome. I really enjoyed visiting all the places associated with the life of St Francis, especially La Verna and Assisi of course. I love walking in Italy, I'm sure you will have a great time.

    Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Jaca (not quite live from the camino )

    Day 3: Peyranere to Canfrac Estacion (18th April) It was snowing when I left at 9 am and only 3 more km left from Peyranere along the road to the col. The visibility was very poor I was walking through a white mist. The road seems a bit steeper than the day before. The frontier at the col was...

    Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Jaca (not quite live from the camino )

    Day 2: Bedous to Peyranere.(17th April) I originally planed to stay in Urdos this night and Peyranere the next but having read about the landslides on the next section of the path and already decided to get the bus between Borce and Urdos I decided to get the bus from Bedous to Urdos and walk...

    Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Jaca (not quite live from the camino )

    I'm sorry to have missed the monastery, if it hadn't been such a miserable day and I hadnt had such a long wait at the station I'm sure I would have seen it. Good luck on your walk to Urdos today.
