Planning Your Pilgrimage

The first step in planning your St Francis Camino pilgrimage is to choose a route. There are two main routes: the Northern Route and the Southern Route. The Northern Route is shorter and less challenging, while the Southern Route is longer and more rugged. Both routes are well-marked and offer a variety of accommodations and services. Once you have chosen a route, you will need to decide how long you want to walk each day. The average pilgrim walks between 15 and 25 kilometers per day. However, you can walk at your own pace and take as many rest days as you need.

The next step is to pack your gear. The most important thing to pack is a good pair of walking shoes. You will also need a backpack, a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, a towel, and a few essential toiletries. If you are walking during the summer, you will also need a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. If you are walking during the winter, you will need a warm coat, hat, and gloves.
