14 Caminos de Santiago in 3 years...
I travel the world... I take my time... One country at a time...One place at a time...
In the last 3 years I have embarked on over 14 long reflective walks on the Caminos de Santiago in Spain.
It all started with a friend who ask me, “…when are you going to settle down?" Long story short, I never did!
Instead I set out crazy journey that has taken all 7 continents. I have visited over 125 countries.

This video covers this Camino del Norte or Primitivo Variant the Camino Lebaniego goes from San Vicente de la Barquera to the Monasterio de Santo Toribio near Potes one of the most beautiful towns in Spain a 65 km walk done in 4 stages.
Embarking on the Camino del Norte, you'll find it is a lot of asphalt.The Lebaniego diverges from the Norte's asphalt and can be a good way to get a break or to go the Camino Francés, offering a scenic route through the Picos de Europa. It's a journey for the adventurous spirit, blending breathtaking coastal views with the verdant landscapes of northern Spain.
Unlike its famous Camino Primitivo counterpart, the Lebaniego invites pilgrims to explore Spain's rugged and solitary interior, passing through the Picos de Europa mountain range. This route is a haven for those seeking solitude and a deep connection with nature, offering a unique pilgrimage experience that combines physical challenge with spiritual renewal.
In essence, the Camino Lebaniego is a captivating alternative to the Camino Primitivo, promising an unforgettable journey through some of Spain's most stunning and diverse landscapes. It's perfect for those looking to step off the beaten path and embrace a road less traveled.

Camino Francés Winter Walk November - December
Well done. Really enjoyed that. So Professionally done
Thank you very much!
I wonder how do you film yourself?
With a camera.. ;)
You boots are not the proper shoes for such a long walks !! 🙏🙈😎🇨🇴
Please enlightening me...
Great video, you showed some lovely scenery, thanks Rolf. Ugh, drunken snorers, selfish.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it...
What date did you start from Sevilla?
First week of March
As good as it gets
Thank you!
Stop making videos about the Camino de Santiago. the paths are full of people, they look like shopping malls.
No...
I suggest you to go to the French border and put up a do not enter sign instead...
Congrats on another camino!!🎉Really enjoy your videos 🦾🎥💕❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
To all future pilgrims of the Camino de Santiago, let me start by saying how exciting it is that you are considering embarking on this life-changing journey. As someone who, along with my spouse, has walked the Camino twice, I can wholeheartedly tell you that it’s an experience like no other-transformative, peaceful, and deeply personal. Before you dive headfirst into planning, you might be tempted to immerse yourself in the dozens of UA-cam videos that cover all things Camino from A to Z. While those videos are undoubtedly well-produced and filled with helpful tips, I’d like to gently recommend something that we’ve found to be true for ourselves: try not to overexpose yourself to other people's experiences before you’ve had the chance to live your own. There is something uniquely magical about arriving in a small village for the first time, discovering the beauty of a hidden chapel, or feeling the energy of a bustling cathedral along the way. If you watch too many videos detailing these stops ahead of time, you might lose some of the spontaneity and awe that makes the Camino so special. These videos can paint a picture, but they cannot fully capture what it feels like to walk those paths, encounter those people, and face your own challenges on the road to Santiago. Here’s what you truly need to know before you set off: How to Get There: Research the best way to arrive at your chosen starting point, whether it’s Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Sarria, or any of the other wonderful locations to begin your pilgrimage. When to Go: Consider the best time of year. Spring and fall are usually the most popular times due to the moderate weather, but every season offers its own unique charm. Packing List: Stick to the essentials! You don’t need much-light clothing, sturdy footwear, basic toiletries, and a few personal items. Remember, you will be carrying this on your back, so less is more. Guidebook Recommendation: Pick up a trusted guidebook to help you along the way. We personally found John Brierley's guidebooks to be particularly insightful and easy to follow. Pilgrim Passport: Obtain a pilgrim passport (Credencial del Peregrino) before you begin. You’ll get it stamped along the way at various churches, albergues, and cafes. It’s your proof of the journey and your ticket to receive your Compostela in Santiago. Booking Hotels: Download the Booking.com app and use it to secure hotel reservations if you’re planning to stay in private accommodations. It’s a great tool for peace of mind, especially during busy times on the Camino. Once you’ve covered these basics, the best advice I can give you is: just go. The Camino will guide you. Let the experience unfold naturally, and allow yourself to be surprised and inspired along the way. Everyone’s Camino is different-there’s no right or wrong way to walk it. While I have deep appreciation for the many content creators who have invested so much time and effort into sharing their own pilgrimages, I humbly suggest that you save watching those detailed videos until after you’ve completed your own journey. This way, you’ll be able to fully reflect on your experience and connect more deeply with what they’re sharing. Buen Camino! Enjoy every step.
Very nicely put.... I did zero research on my first camino... I didn't even know there were videos on UA-cam about it...I still don't do any research or watch other videos. I didn't even know what camino I was going to walk on my last camino... I decided on the plane just before landing in Bilbao ;)
I start my CF in St Jean Pied du Port on 5 October and hope not see see ANY snow at that time. Would prefer no rain either BUT from what I have watched that is very unlikley. I wil cope either way lol. I did a run here in Tasmania called the Triple Top Mountain Run where I encountered it all - never agail lol - was only 18 km but scarred me for life (for that run anyway). Was my third and final time! Am guessing you keep all the stresses behind the scenes because you present a calm and considered view that shows and gives confidence to the viewer. Actually have watched all your later videos before this one cropped up - love them all
I meditate a lot... so I simply don't stress... ;)
Rolf, I noticed that a number of times you 'called ahead' to reserve a room. I am an American. I only speak English. How difficult was communication? I do plan to learn some Spanish prior to my departure next September. Thanks. Mike
I speak Spanish so it is not a problem for me, but mostly I called ahead as I was walking longer stages than the regular stages. Normally I don't bother calling ahead if i am not doing a longer stage.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ Coffee Coffee Coffee
I need my coffee in the morning!! In Spain it is easy...but in Portugal it can be a problem in the morning!!!
🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯💝💝💝
thank you!
Where is everybody? Surely it can’t be siesta every time you are filming. Are people at work in the cities? Aren’t there any children? Do the smaller towns/villages only exist for pilgrims?
the answer is basically yes to the questions except the first two... In Spain there's is something called the "donut effect"... look it up on Google.
I really appreciate your insight and for giving me ideas for future Caminos. Your camera work is awesome also!
I am glad you liked the video, thank you!
Hi, Rolf. I noticed you walked more than 30km a day many times while doing drone videos a lot. I have an aging partner who cannot walk more than 20-23 km a day on French way last Oct-Nov in 2023. We both hated the last hour to Zubiri, but enjoyed first 2/3 of the route as we paced ourselves to a shorter distance each day. We had rain almost every day. But it was memorable. Do you think Northern route is more challenging than French one? And, do you reckon there are many accomodations still open in September-October season? Was it hot in late Aug? I am no good in heat over 27C. And, thank you for the great vignettes you share with us. I cant imagine how hard it was to film them and lots of tight editing job. Really appreciate your input. From New England
Hi Ethan, The Norte is not very much more difficult than the Frances. It is quite a bit cooler than the Frances as you are closer to the coast. I walk more hours and further as I don't like to linger around the Albergues all too long, but most people like arriving early. There should be plenty of rooms available. Hope this helps.
@@rolfscaminos Thank you for the prompt response, and, the tips. We will continue to enjoy your videos. 🙏
Thanks for your lovely video. I'm struggling if taking this walk in rainy season :P
I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Hallo Rolf. Ive been watching this Sanabres Camino twice now as im also a solo wsljer and will be walking in May next year. Is it cold in May. Im hoping to walk 13th May 2025. Thank yiu kindly.Kind Camino thoughts.
Hi there.I walked in early April, so I think it should be ok in May.
Loved this, thanks for sharing Rolf.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
What a Beautiful Camino ! Thank you for sharing and looking forward for your next camino.
Thank you. The next one should be out in a few weeks...
Wauw drone shows....
Thank you!!!
Del Norte is by far my favourite Camino, I walked it back. to back with the Primitivo, thank you for the memory Rolf Buen Camino
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Everyone speaks about the Camino Lebaniego with high regard and its plain to see why, thank you for sharing Rolf Buen Camino
Im glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful Camino Rolf and great job documenting your travels. Quite a contrast between this and the Via de la Plata. The Del Norte was my first Camino and this brings back fond memories. October 1st I begin the Via de la Plata and who knows perhaps a reverse Camino Portuguese is in store. Looking forward to your next instalment.
Thank you... I am glad you enjoyed it. Buen Camino!
Thanks for sharing this journey. Great coverage of the walk, lodging, and food.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You can also get a Compostelle by starting in Lugo
Yes indeed... Sarria is the closest point on the Frances as you need to walk a minimum of 100 km.
AWESOME ❤
Thanks 🤗
Inspiring. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I loved the “volunteer” staff at Roncesvalles. The albergue has around 250 beds, hence all the rules. That’s a lot of people, to take care of, for the first or second day on the Camino.
I am glad to hear you had a better experience than I did...
Love your videos.
Thank you. There are some new ones in the works.
Congrats on your Camino and the video! I will be doing the Sanabrés late in Aug and early September. This will be my sixth Camino (plus a pilgrimage on the Via Francigena in Italy). Regarding the Sanabrés, I wonder how many pilgrims you met before reaching the 100 km mark to Santiago. From the video, it seems to me there were very few people (even taking into account the fact that you must have been walking in late autumn or even winter). On the Galician albergues I have to say the Xunta has made a very good job modernizing and upgrading them, you might have seen them some ten years ago!
I am glad you liked the video. I actually walked in March - April. There were more pilgrims after Ourense but it was not bad.
@@rolfscaminos Thank you for the quick response. ¡Buen Camino!
Beautiful photography and a drone!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful video of your trip. You give hope to one day soon embark on this wonderful journey. 🙏🏼
I am glad you enjoyed it and wish you have a Buen Camino!!!
What time of year did you hike this camino Rolf?
The first half of April...
Cool motion sensor camera!
Glad you like it!
thank you so much for the video. I am planning to walk camino del Norte in sep this year, and his video def giving some hint of the whole route. About albergues, did you book in advance for private one or just walk in to see if there's bed available? Thank you :)
I only booked the one in San Sebastian in advance as I arrived by train from Madrid very late. Also I would recommend booking the one in Gernika because there are few accommodation options. Else it us best just to show up... it's more of what the Camino is about. The Granja La Troupe in Bilbao and the Albergue in Novellana are exceptional.
Loving your Camino videos Rolf - really beautifully done
Thank you! Glad you like them!
I can't believe you walked half of the Camino Norte to walk the entire Camino Primitivo, then went back to finish the Norte!! Very impressive! Great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I didn't plan in doing it initially but the asphalt got to me... I am glad you liked the video!
which time of year did you walk there? i mean i love cold weather with the sun out, makes each ray that hits you so appriciated
I started the Sanabres in spring, the first week of April.
Thank you so much for this video. I finished Camino Francés just five weeks ago and am already plotting my next Camino, so your perspective on all these videos is helpful. I like your photography, the music, your Spanish pronunciation. Just the right balance of spoken description and visual images, too.
Thank you very much! I am glad you enjoyed the video and wish you a Buen next Camino! ;)
🫠Thank you very much for your video. I walked this route in May - June 2023 and thanks to your video I was able to remember this time again with great joy. I walked the Primitivo a few years ago, so I continued along the coast to Santiago. The Norte was my 10th and probably my last Camino. Everything has its time and I like to think back to that time. 🇪🇸🥾☕️
I am glad you enjoyed the video. The main reason I do these videos is to go back and relive the walks...:)
Great videos you got here. Planning on walking the norte and then down south to Sevilla on the via de la Plata. Are trail runners enough for both walks during early autumn? What's the capacity of your backpack?
The footware really depends the season. I was glad I had my boots on the muddy sections on the VLP. But trail runners are good enough if you don't mind getting wet feet. The VLP is 80 trails... the Norte on the other hand is 80 to 90 % asphalt so you definitely don't need boots for it. I wish you a Buen Camino!
Congratulations - on your 11 - wow - 11 Caminos 😮😮😮😮 Well done!! Loved your work!!!
Thank you...I have done a few more since...:)
There must be apps or maps which show the way, when the walking trail "goes into the woods" or "follows a muddy stream"? Some sections look very confusing, and I think I would be in a panick!!! A person has to keep their eyes open, and pay attention!!!
Buen Camino App has good maps...:)
@@rolfscaminos Thank you!!
Yes, very nice content - he does almost a town by town walk, and comments on the lodgings. We can follow along! (Stars on Google maps!) Nice background music - not too distracting, nor loud, and in very good taste ❤ Love your drone shots, and we understsnd how much extra work it is to leave your camera in one place so you can show you walking - then to go back and pick up your camera from where you had left it, to facilitate your walking shots! A lot of extra work! 😮 Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you very much!!!
Excellent..... thank you for uploading your vids. May I ask which Camino you enjoyed the most?
I really enjoyed the VLP the most.... lovely long stages and scenery
Acabei de assistir esse caminho e lhe dou os parabéns pelas belas fotografias do lugar. Em Outubro próximo vou partir de Madrid e pegar esse caminho a partir de Zamora. Belíssimo. Saudações Rolf do Brasil 🇧🇷👏🏻 de uma peregrina😊
Bon Camino!!!
Hi Rolf, is it possible to ask what drone / camera equipment you used to shoot such an amazing video?
Sure...80 % is done with my phone a Samsung Note 10 plus. The the drone is a DJI mini 3 pro and also use a insta360 One R for the following shots. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Rolf My partner and I are really enjoying your walks to Camino from different starting places. Just to let you know. Stay safe. Andrew & Clem
Thanks Andrew!
Beautifully done.
Thank you!
