Time to get back on its Path

Leave a comment

It's been a while since the end of my journey and, although I never really stop, it's time to get back in gear, this time heading for the new year, and discovering new paths.

This time, I will walk in Sardinia, on the road to Santu Jacu. Unfortunately, having only a few days left, I'll follow just a sliver: from Macomer to Cabràs, in the former territory of the Giudicato of Arborea. I will walk for 5 days and I'll keep you updated, if you like, with some pictures and a few comments about the beauty of the trail.

Meanwhile, here's the itinerary that I will follow and the link to the official website of the Association Friends of the Camino de Santu Jacu, from which you can download descriptive, GPS tracks and everything you need to follow this path!

Stages and accomodation from Milan to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

I finally managed to order alle the documentation I’ve collected in the last weeks and so, I made the first Excel sheet where I recap the itinerary that I mean to follow. I mean, since when you are on the Way, you never know what will happen… luckily! Anyway, this document outlines the stages, the foreseen date, total and partial km, difficulty level and the accomodation where I hope to sleep, with its characteristics.

If you cannot visualize the spreadsheet, you can download the PDF version of the document frome this link.

If you need some more information or wish to contact me, can write to sara.pellegrina@gmail.com.

From Arles to Palavas les Flots via Saintes Maries de la Mer

Leave a comment

Today I’ve been working on the tracking of the route that we will need to follow (if we will decide to do that) to go from Arles to Saintes Maries de la Mer and, from there, to Palavas les Flots, walking through the heart of the Camargue. I wrote a small guide in Italian, with some detailed maps, that I will translate and publish on this page in the following days.

From this page, you can also access the GPS tracks, but beware: I still couldn’t verify them on the field, so, if you want to use them, be careful! Especially in the second stage, from Saintes Maries de la Mer to Le Grau du Roi it is enough to miss a crossroad and you’ll be on the wrong side of a pond and you’ll have to make a long detour, when you already had a long way to walk.

Descriptive from Milan to Montgenevre

Leave a comment

The most complicated part of the journey that I will do this summer is maybe go backwards the Via Francigena until Monginevro, more complicated, at least conceptually, since there is no guide to this path in the direction I choose. So what? And then I soon the Via Francigena, which I mentioned in the post about the bibliography and I reworked the descriptive of the route from East to West. If anyone needs to follow it, here it is in PDF format:

Of course it is to be verified, but that will only do so when I get back. Having planned to take me anyway copy of maps of the Guide and the indications on places to visit, I did not include maps provided in this document, apart from some parts missing or unclear in the maps of the Guide, but I will insert them into a more advanced version, so you have it all together. So, if you need, keep in mind that will be coming soon!

Good Journey!
