Episode 349:
ℹ️ Today we’re taking you along on Day 9 of our Way of Saint Francis pilgrimage—and wow, it’s our longest day yet: 15 miles from the charming village of Pieve Santo Stefano up (and back down) through La Montagna.
In this episode, we’re diving into some of the most popular questions you’ve asked about our pilgrimage:
- Do we use luggage service?
- Do you have to be religious to walk the Via di Francesco?
- How long are we walking each day?
We’ll share the highs, the lows, and the breathtaking scenic routes that make this journey so special.
Whether you’re here for the pilgrimage stories, the cultural travel inspiration, or just the gorgeous Italian mountain views, grab your hiking boots (and maybe a gelato) and come Cruisin’ with the Coleman’s on the Via di Francesco!
