Assisi and St. Francis
We took the 9.40 am bus to Assisi. I had included Assisi in our Via Francigena journey because I wanted to visit the home town of Italy’s patron saint, who had made two pilgrimages to Rome himself. Some saw St. Francis as the Church’s environmentally concerned saint, the one who preached to...- almis

Via Francigena Highlights
Hi fellow Pilgrims, we had five weeks in which to cover the Via francigena, and spend 7 days in Rome (how could you not?)

Boots? How to select the right ones for you

Le Puy to Conques - the feminine aspect in pilgrimage
We really enjoyed this section of the Santiago pilgrimage which begins in the historic city of Le Puy-en-Velay and covers a total distance of 210km to Conques, a beautiful medieval village which nestles on the banks of the Lot River. From there we visited Rocamadour, France’s second most famous...- almis

The Mystery of Santiago
Hi. Not long ago in March 2010, a chance to revisit the Camino presented itself. After having last been on the Road to Santiago twelve and a half years ago in 1997, I eagerly accepted the opportunity. This time, however, I got to lead a small group of pilgrims along the path from Leon to...- almis
