    Via Francigena KMZ files for Google Earth (Besancon-Rome)

    Thanks David. I’ve just started to look at the new version of the Lightfoot Guide which arrived yesterday. I’ve been using the maps.me trace and checking on Google Maps Street View. The latter is probably out of date coming into the Nature Reserve near to Rome. There seems to be a house...

    Via Francigena KMZ files for Google Earth (Besancon-Rome)

    Thank you so much David for your detailed route to Rome! We’re only walking from Viterbo to Rome this May. We’re very slow walkers so have adapted the stopovers to make it more manageable for ourselves! Please can you tell me if your red routes are alternatives off the signed route? Or are...

    Slow walk on Coastal Portuguese Camino

    Hi Yvonne. We’ve just walked the CP from Lisbon to Coimbra! Although the route out of Lisbon is rather industrial for a while, please don’t let that put you off, it doesn’t last that long and there are some fascinating old buildings too. The landscape changes to a varied agricultural region...

    Senda Litoral

    Hi. There are downloadable files on this site with a huge lists of accommodations for several Caminos. When we were walking the Senda in May, we also downloaded the maps.me app and then the kmz file, also on here. Maps.me works by GPS, so no need for the internet while you’re using it. Most...

    Coastal route in August!

    We used both Luis Freixo’s superb maps and the maps.me app. Once you have maps.me you can download the route from this website. Never will you feel uncomfortably misplaced ever again! Bom Caminho!

    👋 Introduce yourself or register your start date

    Totally agree with ‘jungleboy’ and ‘trecile’ above. I think the calendar was easier to understand before it was updated. Maybe if a person wants to enter an end date, could it be put in with the further details of their Camino when you click on the entry? Do you think this might work?

    What do I need to know to get by?

    Hi. I agree very much with the comments above about people in Portugal and Spain wanting to improve their English. We’ve had to really persuade some folk to speak in their own language and help us improve our foreign language skills! For my husband and I, speaking the language of the country...

    What do I need to know to get by?

    I've been learning Portuguese using the Memorise app, as it teaches your the language of Portugal. From memory I think the Duo Lingo app may only be Brazilian Portuguese. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

    Ponte Movel in Matosinhos reopened

    Thanks for that message. We didn't know the bridge had been shut! Do you know when it closed and why? It must have made the walk north a bit tricky. Sheena

    Baggage Carrying services between Porto and Santiago de Compostelle

    Hi Albertinho. I feel it's a shame because it is more expensive to use the private companies.
