    Alert Flooding between Accous and Somport - Path closed

    Yes I agree I was on that section the day before @Flog and took the train because I had read other people's reports of the path in that section and didn't feel confident . I look forward to seeing how he manages the rest of the route to Somport.

    Alert Flooding between Accous and Somport - Path closed

    Hi Chrissy, Yes still walking from Rome ! I look forward to reading your updates too. Yes, I expect it will be months before the road is open again so a detour onto the Piemont looks like the best alternative for anyone planning on following the Arles route for the foreseeable future.

    Thank you for posting this alert, I am heading to Jaca in 3 weeks to continue my pilgrimage and had planned to travel by train and bus from Pau. Looks like I need to get there are different way. So glad I checked the forum today. Yes really terrible and for the people who live there.

    Florence to Rome through Assisi In Winter - Advice

    Hello I walked the via di Francesco from Assisi to Rome in February 2017.It was very cold with freezing fog and when I got to Rieti there was some heavy snowfall. I spent an extra day in Rieti waiting to see if it would clear but it was very deep and I had to abandon the rest of the walk and...

    First day: Besancon to Foucherans or Besancon to Ornans ?

    I used the cicerone guide by Alison Raju when i did this in 2019 and I have recorded it as 24km to Ornans. I think it was mostly on the road and as I am quite happy with that I often look for a shorter route on google maps. As others have said the GR route can to go off on a circuitous route...

    Accommodation list for a variant of VF del Sud

    If you decide to take the detour to Monte Sant'Angelo there is a bus between the main towns Lucera, San Severo, San Giovanni Rotundo and to Monte Sant'Angelo. You could just take a bus all the way there and back if you wanted to visit but didn't have time to walk.

    Accommodation list for a variant of VF del Sud

    Hi , I walked from Rome to Monte Sant'Angelo a couple of years ago, I mostly stayed in places I found on Booking.com but there was a lovely pilgrim accomodation in Buonalbergo, Casa del Pellegrino ( telephone +39 3772448073) the owner lived next door and was so kind to me . I stayed at the...

    Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona

    Thanks for this, it will be a great help. I'm particularly interested in the churches with medieval frescoes so am very excited about the two near Salvatierra-Agurain.

    Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona

    I really love Romanesque churches especially those with frescoes. I know a lot of planning has been done on this forum, I wonder if anyone has made a list of Romanesque churches that are on the viejo? Should I start a new thread for this information?

    Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona

    Thanks for this information I will be walking on this part of the viejo in October and definitely want to visit the churches at Alaiza and Gazeo. I planned to have a rest day in Vitoria-Gastiez but will take it in Salvatierra-Agurain instead. I will have to take a taxi but will check if there is...

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    I imagine it must be a bit tiresome saying Buen Camino with so many pilgrims coming the other way. When I set out from Rome I quite enjoyed meeting the pilgrims going the 'right' way and amused myself by counting them. I think the most was 20 in a day so no comparison! The further along the CF...

    Breaking up the long days

    Hi I also walked this route some years ago (2013). I didn't have a smartphone then so no gpx tracks or app. I used the Cicerone Guide (Alison Raju) I think the Dave Whiston guide is an update of this. I also had Miam Miam DoDo which was very useful in the planning. It was a beautiful walk I...

    Need some new route advice

    How about La Voie de Rocamadour in France it's about 260km from Bénévent-l'Abbaye to Rocamadour, a beautiful sanctuary to Our Lady built into the rocks. I did it in 2017 and don't recall it being particularly challenging. Lots of nice little French towns to stay in and I had no problem finding...

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    That would be great. What you have written on this thread is really quite thorough, thank you for taking the time and trouble to describe it. It seems a very useful detour away from the CF for those who are looking for an alternative.

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    I'm planning to take the via Kunig, probably next year , this is really useful thank you.

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    About how many days will you be away for on each section of the pilgrimage.? I am doing about 3 weeks at a time and I wondered if that was similar to you or if you were away for longer each time.

    LIVE from the Camino Santiago to Rome Part 1

    This is a great pilgrimage! I am doing the reverse, walking from Rome to Santiago. I have got as far as Jaca. I really wish I'd thought of this route and taking the ferry Barcelona to Genoa. Its very satisfying following the routes of medieval pilgrims, and I would probably have arrived at...
