    Via Francigena Convents & Monasteries

    I’ll start my Via Francigena July 30th from Canterbury hopefully reaching Rome. I’m wondering if any Forum members who have walked the VF have any suggestions or a list of convents & monasteries “not to be missed”? I will not be camping. Any other suggestions or tips are welcomed.

    Monasterio Armenteira (CP Variant Espiritual)

    Just received a disappointing reply from Sister Paula (Armenteira Monastery on the Portuguese Variant Espiritual route) that they are not accepting pilgrims for overnight stays on Nov 8th or 9th as “these are special days for us”. Not sure the occasion but I thought others traveling around...

    Camino Portuguese October Lisbon start

    Starting my Camino Portuguese Oct 9th from Lisbon. Seriously considering taking the train a couple of stops given the lack of accommodation on stage 1 in Alpriate plus the heavy road walking. If you’re starting I’d be happy to meet up in Lisbon on Oct 7-8th.

    VDLP guide

    I’m looking for the most recent WisePilgrim guide book + Ap for the VDLP. I was certain a new one should be available in January 2019. Does anyone know more? Are preorders being taken? I really liked the El Norte Ap. Nothing for the VDLP is on sale on the Ivar store page. Thanks.
