    Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?

    Planning is progressing! After reading Rogers blog, it looks like the Via Francigena from Calais but it poses three new options. 1) Turn right at Geneva to Le Puy route? 2) Go over the St Bernard Pass and carry on to Rome and beyond? 3) Go over the pass and turn right to Arles route? Arles vs Le...

    Hi we are flying into Porto on the morning of Wednesday June 14th and plan to take the metro into the city, stop at the cathedral to get our credentials and then head straight out on the Senda Litoral to Matosinhos for a relatively short first day. We will then head inwards to Acros on day 2 to...
