Walking the camino from Porto To Santiago de Compostela
Переглядів 80 тис.10 років тому
A ten day walk along the old pilgrim way, which I recorder in video and on my blog at: www.dartmoorman.blogspot.co.uk
I am starting in Porto on May 24, after a delay of two years. Very excited. Walked the French one twice but never been to Portugal before. We, a friend and I intend to walk on to Finesterre, as I missed that out the last time. I am 77 years old and after Covid need to catch up on all the things still on my list. Buenavista Camino Iris
Thank you Iris. I enjoyed the Porto walk. Don’t forget to have a look at the fabulous painted tiles in the railway station in Porto before you go. I did the English Camino last year and walked on to Finesterre. Well worth the effort. Good luck and may your God go with you. Roger.
I like that your video started and ended with the dog! He looked so confused when you left and was so happy when he greeted you back home again. I miss the camino life, the feeling that every day is a new story and you never know exactly what it will be like.
Hi Amisa That’s Benny he is still around. I walked six different Camino routes and each had its own points of interest A knee injury prevents me from walking too far nowadays and I do miss walking into the unknown and not knowing what each day will bring. Perhaps one day I might go back to where it all started in 2011 and walk the Frances again. Thank you for your kind remarks.
Buen Camino🙏💪
I walked the inland route it was a bit wet but still vey enjoyable.
Did you do the coastal route or the interior? Thanks. Walking the Portuguese in June. It will be our 3rd camino. You are right, it is addictive.
I miss the Camino EVERY day
So do I Hilary. I have walked six different routes and would do each one again if I had the time. But I have done some good, I hope. I walk to raise money for charity an so far have raised £60.000, and met some great people.
The minut 2:18 a very beautiful foto show the village "Al Real de la Jarra"...not Almaden de la Plata. .This is a bad misstake ..Almaden is some 20 k earlier..!!
Wonderful
Nejat oruçlar Thank you

This video provided very useful infos and helped me preparing for my own Camino on a unicycle: Buen Camino ! ua-cam.com/video/nEr2RXOaFoQ/v-deo.html
Beautiful video! What month did you do it? It looks like it rained quite a lot, is that right?
Hello Maria, It was May and it did rain a lot. But still very nice. Off on the Camino Norte next week.
@@windswept8317 Wow, thank you for the quick reply. We plan to do the coastal walk starting in about 10 days. My first hiking trip ever. Excited!
Hi, Thanks for posting your video. I enjoyed my Camino so much I decided to write a novel about it. It is called The Catching of the Camino Wind. It was published on 31 July. It’s an off-beat romantic novel with the Camino as its setting. All who have walked the Camino will recognise the locations and Albergue’s mentioned. As well as a romantic novel it also a humorous look at the human condition. It’s available @ www.amazon.co.uk/Catching-Camino-Wind-Jim-Yates/dp/0955583667/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=jim+yates&qid=1566332917&s=books&sr=1-1
Awesome! Thank you! Buen Camino! 🙂👣
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Camino Norte for me in 2019
Wow this looks amazing, just finished French way to Finisterre, another challenge, saw Camino marker in Castro Marim on Guadiana river apparently there's a path from Huelva also, great video
Loved the dog seeing you off and welcoming you home; touching. Miss the camino.
Did the same route may 2018
Hello Dirk. It took me thirty eight days.
Hello Windswept, nice work! I´m a little bit worry About my Via de la Plate 2019. I will have only 33Days of Vacation! Including 2Days of traveling from Frankfurt to Sevilla and back from Santiago! So i may have to speed up a Little! :-)
Dirk Pausch I did have one rest day. I am a fast walker but I was 68 years old when I walked the route. You might go faster if you take the Frances route when the track divides but you will be missing out on some excellent walking if you don’t take the alternative route to Oseira and Ourense. Also, if you opt for the Camino Frances route you will get trampled by the hordes coming from the east. Good luck.
Hello Windswept, thanks for your advice on the Route. I know the Camino Frances very well and i am not planning to go this Way. I like to go the Way over Ourense. I am 44yrs. and i have to do a little bit of Training as Prepp-Work! But i stay optimistic! :-)
Dirk Pausch Best of luck to you.
Hello Windswept, how many Days of Walking did you need? Greetings from Germany!
Further to my last answer Annie, when the time comes don’t be tempted to take the route that meets up with the Camino Frances. Take the one that goes to Ourense and then go the the monastery at Oseira and stay for the night. You won’t regret it you do, you will regret it if you don’t.
Bonjour! J'ai beaucoup aimé votre courte vidéo. Très parlante. I really enjoyed your short video. You said in one of your answers that you walked during april-may. Could you give me the temperature range you had all along (lows and highs). I cannot stand heat and prefer walking in cool or cold weather. Merci d'avance. I would leave in early 2019.
Annie OLLIVIER Hello, Annie, the temperature ranged between 25 up to Galicia where it dropped to around 18 degrees. I Found it quite pleasant but the weather is so changeable nowadays. I suspect if you don’t like too much heat you are going at the right time. You will also get the benefit of seeing spring arrive in Extramadura. Good luck. Roger
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I am now determined to document our trip like this too, such a good memory. It has given me a good idea of what the Via de La Plata will be like. Reinforced the idea that this is the one we want to start with. A lot of blogs etc warn us against bed bugs: should we worry? And if you don't mind the questions: do we need to carry lunch or is it easy to find bars/shops/cafes or whatever on the way? Can't wait, we will go in April 2019....
Sorry Peter, only just seen your reply. I always carried lunch as I found mysekf in some pretty remote places come noon.
Grazie, è stata davvero una meravigliosa avventura. Molto bene
ho fatto questa bellissima avventura complimenti per la colonna sonora
Grazie, è stata davvero una meravigliosa avventura. Molto bene
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed seeing your journey. I'll be there in July 2018.
Señora Houchins Thank you, you will enjoy it very much. Good luck to you.
Outstanding ! and thank you !
Bob Masucci Thank you Bob, glad you enjoyed it.
Welche Jahreszeit - Monate war es
April/May
Lovely video, Dick. Thanks for sharing your achievement with us. I'm considering doing Via de la Plata myself but doubt I'll do all 1,000 kilometres. If you were me, would you do the southern half (and bus the last 100 or so kilometres to Santiago de Compostela, or the northern half?
Lynda Harrison Thank you Lynda if I only had a short time I would do the northern half. probably fly into Salamanca and start from there. It is a much harder walk but going through the wilds of North West Galicia to Ourense and Staying at the monastery in Oseira are things I won't forget. The lower half is flatter and easier walking, some say boring but it's still interesting and in spring the long tracks through verdant countryside is spectacular. That said, I walk solo and simply enjoy the open air. Why don't you consider doing it in two stages? If you have time read my blog which hopefully will give you a better idea if what to expect. Feel free to get in touch if you need any more info. Thanks for dropping in.
Great video! What time of year was this? (I am starting march 23 from Seville....)
Hans Rosander hi Hans, Thank you. I started out on the 14 th April, loved every minute of it. It took me 38 days. Have a great walk.
kanino is a trip back to your childhood ..so cool to see how idiot you are in the realy world
Thank you Juan. My latest video is of the English Camino. I should have walked it with a friend but he died so I took his ashes with me and spread them en route. I hope you enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/1Pb1rMMtgf4/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing. That was a beautiful thing you did for your friend. Be well Roger.
Juan Alvarez Thank you, Juan, I was proud to be able to do it. Have a safe and happy Christmas and good wishes to you and your loved ones for the new year.
Congratulations on your caminos Roger, good luck on your next one. Your videos are great, thank you!
Enjoyable and well done Roger. I should have done this years ago but now my knees have advanced arthritis, however I hope to cycle the route instead , at 73 it's still doable. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey.
How many miles from Porto to Santiago
Thanks, sorry about the spelling. If you think that's bad you should read the blog. I wrote it and posted at the end of each day when all I really wanted to do was shower and sleep. Which is my excuse for the poor grammar and other mistakes. Still, I hope it gives visitors a flavour of the trek
Buen camino....like......only one thing Caceres...not Caceras
And were it were written Almaden de la Plata..it was actually the village "Al real de la Jarra"...Sorry.. This was a big misstake of some 20 Km.. He should have noticed this self!!
Thank you, Clare, I did the via de la Plata last year my video on that is here also. This year I will be walking my fourth Camino along the Norte, it does become somewhat addictive. I hope you have a safe trip and enjoy it as much as I did.
haha a junkie of al kamino..so cool i like you
This will be my next camino! I decided last year in Santiago that it would be and this has wet my appetite for it even more now! Thanks!
Magnifique ! J'aime beaucoup et cela m'a permis de découvrir le Chemin que je vais faire en avril 2016. Merci
Take a look at this video on UA-cam:
My pleasure, tortugabob, off on the via de la plata in a couple of weeks. Will keep a blog at www.dartmoorwalker.blogspot.co.uk
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you folks, now planning the next trek
Great walk Roger and super video.
This was just lovely! I'm more intrigued than ever about walking the Portugues. I miss the Camino and you brought it back. Thank you!
Nicely compiled Roger.
