    ALvaro Lazaga 25 days on the Via Nascente

    Thank you for your post. I believe it is difficult to find affordable accommodation, as I will be walking alone. Maybe I should take a light weight tent. Still have 11 months before I set off.

    Hoping to walk the Nascente next year. Only concern I have is the lack of Albergue's and distance between towns.. May have to stop in Casa's . Looking forward to the experience.
