This is a continuation of my 2024 camino in France. For the first part, see my reports on Via Gebenennsis)
Through the night and in the morning storms and strong showers were sailing to and fro above le...
If you have joint problems, I'm not sure this is the ideal Camino for you. It does go through the mountains with some pretty significant and steep descents, which can be quite challenging for the knees. It's a wonderful Camino, don't get me...
