    LIVE from the Camino Magna Via Francigena - April 2024

    Today I arrived in one of my favourite cities in Italy, Palermo, ready to start a solo walk across Sicily on the Magna Via Francigena tomorrow! It’s a ~185km trail from Palermo to Agrigento that I aim to complete in 8-9 days. The MVF is the most well-known of the four ‘Vie Francigine di Sicilia’...

    No fear: there IS vegetarian food in Santiago

    Glad to hear it! If you make it to Green House please say hello to Shanta for Wendy and I, and tell her that we hope to see her in July!

    Pelgrims from Czech Republic?

    Not that helpful in the end but I asked a friend who lived in Czechia until a few years ago and this is his response:

    Hybrid Route

    Sounds great! The Olvidado-Invierno combo in particular has always seemed to me like a great one for intrepid pilgrims, although I haven’t done it myself.

    Buen camino Chris! I will follow along with you while on a mystery camino myself ;)

    Advice needed on travel from Tomar to Porto

    I dare say most people would not agree with that. My personal view is that Tomar-Coimbra is nice but Coimbra-Porto much less so.

    It’s a fantastic place to unwind/reflect after your camino, especially if you are unsure how to process it all once it’s suddenly over. @natefaith from Pilgrim House is a member here. https://www.pilgrimhousesantiago.com/

    My upcoming planned Camino Portuguese

    It depends on the time of year / tides.

    My upcoming planned Camino Portuguese

    Bom caminho! I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful experience with your mom. That’s a long afternoon walk if you don’t start from Padrón until after lunch! If you get an early boat it might be worth getting some kms under your belt before lunch. I ate here once and enjoyed it. It’s a rural...

    Advice needed on travel from Tomar to Porto

    There are trains but they’re not direct, and many require two changes. This is the website of CP (the Portuguese train operator). A bus might be more convenient. Rede Expressos and Flixbus are the main operators in Portugal. Flixbus doesn’t do Tomar-Porto but does do Fátima-Porto. Good luck!

    Walking through Portugal via Camino Nascente and Torres

    I think I have! ;) Your plan is amazing. Bom caminho! There is a free Wise Pilgrim community app for the Nascente that you can download. Alternatively, the web version starts here: https://wisepilgrim.com/the-camino-nascente-in-algarve There is also an official guide for the Alentejo stages...

    want solitude

    There are other routes that are similar in length to the Francés but with much more solitude. For example, the Vía de la Plata sounds like it could be what you’re looking for. Look up some alternative routes and see if you find something that speaks to you.

    You will be okay. In fact, the camino might be just what you need right now. You will definitely meet people if that’s what you want. Your booking/packing/distance plans seem fine to me. Many (most?) people bring only one set of walking clothes and one set of town clothes, which are typically...

    Luggage transfer on first day

    Yes, the question is clear. I don’t know the answer for sure but as you suspect, I would think you’d have to make a special request for this, given the timing. If you are not in a rush, it would be nice to spend the afternoon/evening in Oia as it’s a lovely village, and presumably you would...
