  DreamWeaver reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Walking the Via Francigena in three parts with Like.
  
  When I stayed in the guest house of the abbey in Saint-Maurice in 2015 I met the very recently retired abbot. He told me that as his abbey was very near the midway point of the VF he had walked from home to Rome and then also from home to...

  May seem odd but if you do the three parts in reverse it would be better. Italy first avoiding the summer heat. Switzerland second while the pass is open. July is good. Then France last when the vines have matured and you can enjoy the new wine.

  I don't think anyone will be able to give you a reliable answer. Not enough precedent to judge. Personally I think it is very likely that the VF will be exceptionally busy this year. Since the opening of the Holy Door in St Peter's on December...

  DreamWeaver reacted to C clearly's post in the thread How are Pilgrim Statistics Compiled? with Like.

  I go along with @CTLawGal above. There is an English version of the Terre di Mezzo book too. It was updated in 2023. I used the Italian version six years ago and liked it very much. It is a bit big. In the past there was an app version, but they...

  In last year's Compostela stats a lot more people were recorded starting from Porto than from SJPDP and Roncesvalles combined. I've seen a lot of comment online which argues that easy international access to the Camino Portugues through Porto...
