SUMMARY:Cammino di San Antioco (Sardegna) ADDITIONAL PLACES AVAILABLE
DESCRIPTION:Cammino di San Antioco (Sardegna) | Level: Mod/Hard | Price: € 475 per person | P275\n\nThis event has had an overwhelming reponse! As a result we have been able to secure additional transport and accommodation and can offer more places! There is also the possibility of single supplement (@ € 550 instead € 475 per person from 29th April – 4th May) \nIf you are interested please book immediately because places once these additional places are taken we would absolutely not be in a position to add more. Thanks \nTo register please write to information@xircammini.org \nPlease book the following flights: \n\nFR7048 April 29th\, 2024 leaving Malta at 18:40 arriving in Cagliari at 20:00\nFR7049 23:45 May 4th\, 2024 leaving Cagliari at 23:45 arriving in Malta at 01:00(+1)\n\n  \nNote: Dates may vary depending on Flight Schedule. When available dates will be provided. \nThe Cammino di Santu Jacu in Sardinia attributes with roots to Sant’Antioco\, the saint patron of Sardinia\, known as “the holy Moor who came from the sea”. He arrived in Cagliari\, the capital of Sardegna\, and then following the Central Axis up to Porto Torres to sail towards Barcelona\, walking the Catalan-Aragonese Way to Logroño and the Camino\nFrancés to Santiago de Compostela. Sulki (Sant Antioco)\, the ancient name of this island in the south-west of of Sardinia\, has always been a landing point for navigation in the Mediterranean Sea; a port from\nwhich minerals and food of this land were exported and exploited over the centuries by various settlers and occupants\, who have left their mark since punic times.  Later depopulated due to attacks by pirates from Barbary\, it was transformed into a penal colony for condemned Christians from the Maghreb lands.  The historical link with Santiago di Compostella is testified by the tables of 1466 and it is for this reason that our Way of St. James begins here\, at the Basilica of Sant’Antioco. \n  \nDay 0: We arrive in Cagliari and transfer by coach to Sant Antioco. Accommodation will be mostly in self-catering apartments. The afternoon/ evening gives us time to stock our fridges for breakfasts and packed lunches. \nDay 1: We walk from Sant Antioco to Maladroxia in the South East of the island walking slightly inland through a wooded area until we veer towards the coastal area. Transport will collect us from Maladroxia to take us back to Sant Antioco for the evening. \n  \nDay 2: Transport will take us back to Maladroxia. From the beach we continue walking along mainly low cliffs and coastal coastal areas until we reach the beach of Calasapone. Transport will return us to Sant Antioco. \n  \nDay 3: Transport will take us back to Calasapone. From there we will continue along the cliffs towards the village of Calasetta. From Calasetta we continue along the prominade\, beaches and the old railway track back to Sant Antioco. On day 3 evening we’ll organise a victory dinner covered by XirCammini. \nDay 4: We have a full day excursion to by boat to Carloforte and Isola di San Pietro with the possiblity of a swim in transit. \nDay 5: We’ll have time for last minute sightseeing (or shopping) in Sant Antioco before returning to Cagliari and Malta. \n  \nThe contribution is € 475 per person and covers the \n\ntwin or triple room sharing accommodation (on B&B basis for persons in the hostel and the B&B but self-catering in the apartments; but a refund for breakfast will be given/adjusted from final payment to those in the self-catering apartments)*\nairport transfers and\ndaily transfer to /from the hike\,\nday tour by boat of Carloforte and/pr Isola di San Pietro.\nPilgrim Kit with San Antioco teeshirt\, Credencial and Testimonium.\n\n(*Note: Single supplement on B&B basis: € 550 instead € 475 per person from 29th April – 4th May 2024) \nA non-refundable deposit of Euros 125 is required when registering. \nXirCammini will also cover the Victory Dinner (menu not drinks) on day 3 after we complete the Camino Sant Antioco. \nTo register please write to information@xircammini.org

SUMMARY:Mixja ta' San Girgor
DESCRIPTION:Background\nThe origins of Il-Mixja ta’ San Girgor\, annually on the 12th March possibly from the early 16th century\, are unknown. The reasons may have been votive\, for example\, as thanksgiving after a corsair attack\, or a period of draught or pestilence.   In 1543\, Bishop Domenico Cubelles adopted the same walk\, from Citta Notabile (Mdina) to le terre di Santa Caterina (Zejtun) as a peace walk (pro pace universali)\, at a time when Christian reformation was threatening the old world order.  All the faithful at the time would have congregated in Mdina and walked through the medieval parishes en-route to Zejtun on the feast of St. Gregory. The statue of St. Gregory at the end of the walk\, next to the old church of St Catherine\, in Zejtun\, faces Mdina and the start of the walk. Subsequently\, new parishes were added and the route of the pilgrimage changed. The feast date of St. Gregory also changed (to September) as did the date of the pilgrimage from 12th March to first Wednesday following Easter. The religious pilgrimage\, nowadays\, is only from the church of St. Clement to the church of St. Gregory\, both in Zejtun. This religious event is complemented annually by cultural festivities organised by Kultura\, the Culture Directorate. Secular festivities culminate in a walk from Zejtun to Marsaxlokk and the “first swim” of the year. \nXirCammini\, an NGO dedicated to faith & heritage hiking has\, in recent years\, re-created the Universal Peace Walk 1543AD® hike. The hike\, supported by a guidebook\, Kredenzjal tal-Pellegrin\, a website\, an app and waymarks\, is available for solo hikers as well as for group walks. Additionally\, XirCammini organises the event annually for its members\, on the weekends closest to the 12th March (original feast of St. Gregory) and the 25th of November (original feast day of St Catherine)\, working closely with the various parishes to open churches and chapels en-route. \n  \n3rd April 2024\nOn Wednesday\, 3rd April\, XirCammini will be teaming up with Kultura (the Directorate of Culture) and walking the Universal Peace Walk 1543AD®. We aim to reach Zejtun in time to follow the church pilgrimage from the church of St. Clement to the church of St. Gregory\, led by His Excellency\, the Archbishop of Malta. \nInterested in joining us?\nDate | Time: On 3rd April 2024 we park our cars in Marsaxlokk at 03:30 a.m. and transport will take us to Rabat so that we start the walk from Cathedral Square\, Mdina\, at 04:15 a.m. We aim to reach the church of St Clement by 09:15 a.m. to join the procession starting from the church of St Clement at 09:30. \nAfter the procession\, for those brave enough to continue\, we’ll continue to Marsaxlokk for a swim and a ftira biz-zejt! \nFollow this link to register. The event is free of charge. XirCammini and the Cultural Directorate will be providing one-way transport to Mdina in the morning and a pilgrim-pack.

SUMMARY:Via De La Plata (Ourense to Santiago de Compostela)
DESCRIPTION:Via De La Plata | Level: Mod | P268 \n \n1.)   Summary | Contribution\nVia De La Plata (Oursense to Santiago de Compostela) 110km | A non-refundable deposit of €145 is requested to reserve your place. The total contribution per XirCammini member (including the deposit) is €545 and this covers the local transport (Airport in Spain or Portugal) to Oursense and\, vice versa\, from Santiago de Compostela to the Airport\, daily baggage transfers (max 10kg cabin bag per person)\, daily accommodation in a variety of hotels\, pensions\, a monastery on a bed & breakfast basis where available. Thank you. \nPlease follow this link to register your interest and to pay the deposit. A non-refundable deposit of Euros 145 is requested when registering. Thank you. \n2.)   Flights\nPilgrims are requested to book the following flights. On Vueling anyone sending ‘hold’ luggage can send it all the way through to Santiago de Compostela airport despite the connection in Barcelona (and vice versa): \n \nOutward (30th March): Malta – Barcelona – Santiago de Compostela leaving Malta at 14:20 and arriving in Santiago de Compostela at 22:35 (VY8741 | VY1679) \nInward (6th April): Santiago – Barcelona – Malta leaving Santiago at 06:45 and arriving in Malta at 14:30 (VY1672 | VY8740) \n3.)   Important Notes\nXirCammini is not a tour operator or travel agent. We are a not-for-profits\, membership-based association registered in Malta with the Office of the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations (VO: 1646). This explains why our pricing is some 15% – 30% lower than that of other organisations and generally offers more\, i.e. our walks are not self-guided (although one can walk part or all of the way on their own). We set off as a group with a group leader from among our members who is an experienced Camino afficionado. This means that\, at all times\, you have someone to assist and\, if required\, trouble-shoot. Even with very well planned an executed itineraries\, occasionally there could be a last minute issue with\, say\, accommodation or land transport\, a mis-directed baggage that does not arrive at a particular accommodation\, an injury etc. So\, having the support of a group and a group leader can be a relief. In terms of accommodation we tend to choose varied accommodation (i.e. a monastery\, a hotel\, pension and where available\, a casa rural etc.) almost without exception on a twin room basis. From the baggage that arrives at our daily destination we can also safely assume that our accommodation is generally the same as the ones used by more established Camino tour operators. What we try to achieve is that pilgrims travelling with us have all the essentials catered for while in Spain\, leaving you to concentrate on the spiritual journey\, social interaction and camaraderie. Being in a group also means that you will make new friends from different walks of life but who share the same passion for the Camino. \n4.)   Membership\nSince we are a membership-based association\, people travelling with us would need to be members of XirCammini. \n   \n5.)   Camino de La Plata: Introduction |Length | Terrain\nThe Camino de La Plata is the longest Camino on Spanish soil\, starting from either Seville or from Almeira (called Mozarabe). The last few etapas (stages) of it\, i.e. from Granja de Moreruela\, are also called Camino Sanabres. We will be walking the last 6 stages of the Camino de La Plata or the Camino Sanabres i.e. from Ourense to Santiago de Compostela. The distance is of around 110km\, making it eligible for the Compostela for walking pilgrims from the Pilgrim’s Office once you reach Santiago. The Via de la Plata currently attracts around 1% of all Camino Pilgrims applying for the Compostela in the Pilgrim Office in Santiago. Most of these would also only be walking the last 5 days from Ourense (6 days if pilgrims break the Ourense – Casarellos in 2 etapas). \nThe Camino is a scenic one which means\, there will be some elevations and distances may vary on a daily basis due to ruta complementarias. You will be crossing 3 provinces in 5 days of walking. Below are our indications of km and elevations. In terms of terrain this is generally mixed\, i.e. urban/paved roads and country/forest paths and soil/gravel paths. None of the days are particularly taxing for a seasoned hiker. Of all\, Day 1 is the most arduous both in terms of length and elevation.  The rest then all seem to be more palatable after walking the first day: \n\nOurense to Casarellos: 33 – 35km with a net elevation of < 610m over the whole day. There is a relatively steep ascent in the beginning of the day and the rest of the day offers a gradual ascent.\n\n \n\nCasarellos – Estacion de Lalin: 18 – 20km. you start the day with a gentle ascent reaching 900m above sea level and the rest of the day (approx the last 12km or so) are a descent to < 500m above sea level.\n\n \n\nEstacion de Lalin to Silleda: 15km – 18km. This is as series of gentle ascents and descents (little net gain or loss on this day) reaching a hight of < 550m above sea level and a depth of <400m above sea level at your lowest.\n\n \n\nSilleda to Ponte Ulla: This is an 18km – 20km descent from <500m above sea level to the River (Rio) Ulla at >60m above sea level.\n\n \n\nPonte Ulla to Santiago de Compostela: This is a 20km – 22km gradual ascent from <61m above sea level to Santiago de Compostela at >250m above sea level .\n\n \n6.)   What to see on the way?\nThe following are some sights worth including on the way: \n\nThe Roman Bridge over the Rio Mino and the old city quarter. The bridge is known as the ‘old bridge’ or ‘Ponte Vella’. The Camino will start over this bridge.\nCathedral of Ourense. Note: These generally do not open for the public before 10:00\, a to dedicate time to it one would need to arrive the night before.\nThermal waters in As Burgas This is a free\, public space but one can also visit private thermal baths in Ourense.\nAlong the whole path there are various river crossing some with medieval bridges and several hamlets. Between Silleda and Ponte Ulla there is also a beautiful galician palace with gardens called Pazo de Santo Estevo de Oca.\nWhen traversing Bandeira make sure you savour their empanadas because this village is renown for its pies.\nThe Pico Sacro and the Hermitage of St Sebastian offers a magnificent view of Santiago de Compostela before starting the descent to our Loca Sancta. Entry into Santiago is over River Sar and through the Arco de Mazarelos into the old quarter of Santiago de Compostela.\n\n7.)   Some other practical matters\nFor members joining us from overseas you can either meet us at the airport or we can agree to meet at the first accommodation in Ourense the evening before we start walking. \nWell before the Camino we also set up a WhatApp group for the pilgrims on the Camino so that you start interacting beforehand with questions\, practical advice\, food or medicine intolerances etc

SUMMARY:Cammino di San Giacomo in Sicilia[FULLY BOOKED]
DESCRIPTION:Cammino di San Giacomo in Sicilia | THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Cammino di San Giacomo in Sicilia is the 2nd segment of the Camino Maltés de Santiago de Compostela and takes us from Caltagirone (Citta’ Jacopea to Sanctuary of St. James in Capizzi). On this cammino we will be assisted  by Toto Trumino\, from the Confraternity of St. James in Sicily and the originator of this heritage walk. \n   \nWe fly to Sicily on 3rd February 2024 (FR367: 11:35 to 12:25) and transfer from the airport to Caltagirone. \nWe have a free afternoon to settle in our respective accommodations and for a short urban hike exploring highlights in this World Heritage city. \n   \nCaltagirone is the Citta Jacopea and the start of the Cammino di San Giacomo in Sicilia. Etymologically\, the name Caltagirone is derived from Arabic qalʿat al-jirār (قلعة الجرار) meaning \,castle of pottery jars’ underlining how far back the pottery tradition goes in this town. Numerous archaeological finds date back to the 2nd millennium BC. In 1030 Arabs built a castle in Caltagirone to fend off attacks by the Byzantine general George Maniakes accompanied by Ligurian allies.  Traces of Ligurian language still exist in the local dialect. \nThe main attractions of the city are the 142-step monumental Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte\, built from 1608 in the old part of the town and the Church of St James the Elder. \n   \nOn the 4th February we will commence the Camino di San Giacomo from the church of St. James and our itinerary over the following days is as follows: \n4th February 2024: Caltagirone – San Michele Ganzaria – Mirabella Mbaccari. Distance: 19km with approximate altitude differences of + 260 m/ – 300 m. Level: Easy to Moderate. \n5th February 2024: Mirabella Mbaccari – Piazza Armerina. Distance: 21km with approximate altitude differences of + 500 m/ – 300 m. Level: Moderate. \n6th February 2024: Piazza Armerina – Valguarnera Caro Pepe. Distance: 19km with approximate altitude differences of + 300 m/ – 380 m. Level: Easy to Moderate. \n7th February 2024: Valguarnera – Assoro. Distance: 25km with approximate altitude differences of + 980 m/ – 680 m. Level: Moderate to Difficult (because of ascent). \n8th February 2024: Assoro – Nissoria – Nicosia. Distance: 25km with approximate altitude differences of + 630 m/ – 680 m. Level: Moderate. \n9th February 2024: Nicosia – Capizzi. Distance: 17km with approximate altitude differences of + 680 m/ – 330 m. Level: Easy to Moderate. \nIn Capizzi we are now in the Province of Messina and close to Cerami\, the site of the famous Norman Battle against the Arabs with the legend of St George as the Matamoros assisting the greatly outnumbered Normans to vistory. Both Ptolemy and Cicero mention Capitum\, Capizzi precursor and it appears that the town had considerable importance during Hellenistic and Roman times together with Haluntium (present-day San Marco d’ Alunzio). \nCapizzi is renown for the Sanctuary of St James the Elder and for the feast of the Saint every year in July. The statue of St. James the Elder is carried on the shoulders by the Capitini making stops in the various churches. During the procession the  “Wall of Miracles” is demolished. We’ll learn of thelLegends surrounding the “Wall of Miracles” during our Cammino. \n10th February 2024: We check out after breakfast and proceed to the airport stopping for lunch en-route. (Flying out on FR396: 17:05 arriving in Malta at17:55). \nThe contribution for this event is Euros 595 per person. \nThe contribution includes hotel / B&B accommodation mostly on bed and breakfast basis (last couple of nights on half-board)\, airport (coach) transfers\, daily coach and baggage transfers during our 7-day stay and a pilgrim kit with Credencial\, Cammino-Patch\, teeshirt and Testimonium and assistance car during our trekking. The cost does not include flights. \nTHIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED.
