I walked 130 miles in 6 days. I had to face countless challenges including 3 winter storms that brought plenty of water, wind, snow and ice. I had to fight my own mind and push my body. I had to deal with the problems of finding places to sleep and eat during winter.
This is the story of this unforgettable journey.

Just watched your video which I really enjoyed.
I've walked multiple Caminos but never in winter.
Reminded me very much of my native Scotland.
Ultreia et Suseia.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I've done the camino a couple times and it's always a joy. I definitely recommend doing it in the winter at least once, it's a very different experience. Very few people (downside is many places are closed), the trails almost all for yourself. And yes, some parts of northern Spain are similar to the British Isles. Thanks again!
That was a fantastic video. Aside from the walk itself (no mean feat) doing it in such hideous conditions, having to do all the b-roll and drone work must have made the task twice as hard. I hope you and your kit have now dried out completely. Keep up the great work, Adrian.
You never cease to amaze me with the quality of your videos!
Keep up the amazing work!
Another great video Adrian, I enjoyed it a lot, keep it up man, really great photos, effort and video.
Thank you, Mohamed!
I admire you deeply for undertaking this adventure. I enjoy my solitude at times, but I wonder how I would fare in 13 days of cold and snow alone? It would truly test one's mindset. It seems so beautiful, and yet I feel even I, the eternal introvert, would miss human interaction. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I hope you learned much, and are able to continue your journey in the future.
Thank you! It was 7 days "only", 13 would have been definitely harder. I consider myself an introvert as well, but I also need human interaction. I had no problem during the Camino, though, because I knew I'd be back in just a few days, back to my loved ones, back to my friends. I think it's just easier when you have a deadline, when you are doing it just temporarily. If there was no end in sight... then, that'd be much harder. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts!
wonderful, quiet, inspirational. and beautiful pictures too. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing. And you have my upmost respect. As. Photographer/film maker living in Northern Spain the walk must have taken you three times more than the normal just to produce such wonderful images I’ve just discovered you through your 6X6 videos because I have just bought a 6X6 roll film back for my 5X4 camera and wanted some inspiration.
You have just gained another subscriber keep up the good work.
Great video, beautiful photos and a great Camino. I really, really liked it. I went to Santiago twice in winter, but I never saw snow in Galicia.❤❤❤
That is my biggest fear, all I will be eating is bread.
Haha well there is good bread in Galicia that’s for sure
Very beautiful video. Inspiration for my photography hobby ,and maby also up to Santiago (still a dream) greetings from The Netherlands
I, it’ll make a man of ya, even if ur a woman, hardship...glad I’m sitting watching utube, feet up bru in hand...maybe one day when lockdown fini
Great photo and video you are a Master many thanks i am a pellegrino muchos gracias buen Camino greetings from Perth Western Australia 🦘
Adrian, in my experience the trips with the greatest hardships are those that I remember with the most fondness. You will remember this one the rest of your life. Lovely video!
This video is truly beautiful, it is a journey into the private intimate soul as beautiful as all yours video....thanks
Wonderful Journey and great film
impressive accomplishment... you are brave to do the hardest way of the Camino... God bless you
Hi all, in winter, how do you go about booking places to stay? You use agoda or something?
That looked hard ......
It was, but also a lot of fun. I won't ever forget it :)
What a beautiful journey, thank you!
Precioso camino Adrián, francamente duro.
Salvando las distancias puesto que yo no sufrí esas inclemencias, me ha recordado mi primer camino en enero de 2018. Hice el camino inglés, sumando la etapa de Coruña y como tú, estuve solo los 6 días. No cambiaría aquella experiencia por ninguna otra cosa, a pesar de que después he repetido 2 caminos más, encontrando peregrinos y también ha sido maravilloso. Sufrir cada llegada, no tener con quien compartir y no saber si a la mañana siguiente podría con la mochila y el ánimo....y sin embargo al día siguiente te pones en marcha.
Bravo!
Gracias!
Simply poetic
It looks like a lonely pilgrim.
Extraordinario. Me ha encantado a nivel de encuadres y por la narratividad que consigues. Es un gran trabajo. Sin duda ha sido un viaje duro, pero, como bien dices, será inolvidable. La dureza se ve reflejada, pero también la felicidad de conseguir el reto. Increïble como rinde la RX100 en circunstancias tan difíciles!!!
Mis más sinceras felicitaciones. Ya añoraba tus vídeos después de estos días en blanco, pero con lo que nos has ofrecido valía la pena la espera. Lo volveré a ver!!!
Un abrazo cineasta!
All with just a compact camera?
Great.
Thanks!
nice thanks. whar did you use to make the movie
You not only have a wonderful photographic vision you also deserve a medal for taking on such a challenging task.
Awesome awesome.. your tough
Bro needs microspikes.
Great video! It looks hard, but also beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks very much for sharing this beautifully shot video! I appreciate how you let the Camino do the talking. It also gives one a sense of how few people are on the Camino in the winter.
Thank you for watching, Eric! Glad you liked it. It was a terrific experience and a lot of alone time, for sure.
Thank you for sharing your journey. A very pleasant 30 minutes of ‘escape’ and inspiration 👍
Muy bien 👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful atmospheric mood filled film Adrian, as always the photographs are great.
Superb, Adrian. I think of all the Camino vlogs I've seen yours was the most arduous, and yet the most rewarding.
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I am contemplating doing the Camino Frances starting in mid-February. I found watching your video inspirational. Thank you
Ahhhhh, caffè con lèche!!!
Breathtaking video. So emotional. The photography/videography was stunning. What music did you use? Thank u for sharing.
I'm moved.
Should have been more footage of you putting on and pulling off your boots, and eating! The filming would have been great but you kept getting in the shot!!! You didn't mention what drone you used! I think you walked closer to 200 miles - set up your tripod - walk to get in the shot - walk back to pick up your tripod - walk the same distance (for the 3rd time) and continue on UNTIL the next set-up!!!
You have my admiration and respect my friend!! Beautiful photos, very nice videos! Hello from Greece!👍📷
It is one of my dreams to complete El Camino (at least in part). Perhaps, one day, with my 2 sons; what an adventure that would be! ❤️❤️
It is an experience and I can't recommend it enough (well, maybe not right now :)). There are plenty of options, from very easy to extremely difficult, and several different routes. No matter which one you do, you will love it. Hope you can make it happen one day!
Just DO it! Once you've decided, magic starts happening! ,
The more I see this video, the more I see it again, the more fantastic it is, beautiful, poetic, wind, rain, snow, silence and miusic, and the true essence of travel and solitude with oneself! Thanks
35 km a day plus photo stops??? In one of the most gorgeous ( and demanding!) part of the ´Francès? Long days!!! And absolutely beautiful photography. The more you do, the more I like. Gratias!
Good evening. I'm Thomas and I am also a Santiago walker.My dream woul be to walk in winter towards santiago. please could you tell me if it was easy to find accomodation and albergue during your journey. Thank you very much and take care of yourself
Hi, Thomas! It wasn't hard to find places to stay, but most of them are closed. So if you are doing sections different from the "official" ones, or stopping in smaller towns, you might have a harder time. I had them all booked ahead of time, you might want to do something similar, maybe have a few days booked ahead of time so you know you'll have a place to sleep that night.
@@aows Thank you very much
You're a big inspiration bro! I've been watching your videos for the last week and this one...
It just make want to do mel Camino tooo!
Great work! Greetings from Amsterdam
Always in winter. Always. I’ll never forget those days. Thank you for the memories!!
You almost swam the whole 130 miles. Great courage and perseverance. Well done.
Hi Adrian. Yet again another piece of great work. New to your work but live it and the honesty. Just read your download Photography is easy. Fantastic and honest. You could only write this with experience and this vid demonstrates your passion and enjoyment in art. Thank you
What an awesome journey video. The still b&w images are exquisite!
I've done it from Porto, so THANKS for bringing me along a different route ! ;-) with a great photographers eye no less...
Wonderful! May i suggest you to buy some anti slip shoes accessories for 20 euros? Just in case... Wonderful video!
did it late autumn with snow in the Asturias , it was magic , the few peoples were good it felt like a real
full winter ...!! I don't know , will have to think about it experience
Amazing!! The best Camino video I've watched so far. And yet on winter!!! 😱
Adrian. Congratulations on completing the pilgrimage. Happy New Year to you. Look forward to more of your videos in 2020.
Interesting time to choose to do the camino. I've gone on some very long hikes, and after a few weeks, you really have no choice but to get your head in check with yourself. Thanks for sharing your journey. It's -3F here now where I am, but your video definitely made me chilly. Hope you had a warm Christmas with your wife.
Great work on both finishing the hike and making this video with great pics! Btw, what time of year is this and which route did you take?
Ala!!!!!con dos huevs!!!!!solo a un gallego se le puede ocurrir hacer el camino de Santiago en invierno!!!!!!!,j,j,j,j,j
Outstanding. A true pilgrim, not a tourist. An artist with a vision.
Nice one, Adrian. Loved the mood, video and photos. - But all that water! - At least I hope your boots were dry every morning. Thanks for taking us along.
Great memories. Walked the Norte (and Primitivo) in September, luckily avoided the rain! Alas, the first week was the most painful experience of my life. Never thought I'd see the end, but, like you, I just kept going, one step at a time. Miss it very much.
WhAt was the trail you traveled. Was it mainly roads or a combination of roads and off trails. I would be interested in something like this myself.
Absolutely brilliant, Adrian.
That was great to watch and great to see you make and complete the journey too.
I check my phone everyday to see if you’ve uploaded something.
You’re inspiration plus.
All the best for the new year !
Respect to you Adrian - the weather was terrible for you, just as it was for me when I walked from coast to coast across England many years ago, but you stuck at it. Well done!
I saw it twice in sequence. Amazing! I follow your videos and your instagram. You are an inspiration.
Another great video Adrian. I enjoyed it, and for some time now I have been thinking to walk a fair part of the Camino myself. Did you plan the places to sleep in advance or did you choose them on the spot? Looking forward to your next video.
Kia Ora mate. Bloody well done, one you will probably remember for a long time, living life to the full! Kia kaha
Dude, thanks for sharing your journey. so many familiar places, I am inspired to do a winter camino.
Hola, felicidades por el vídeo Adrian. Me gusta la evolución de tu canal. He disfrutado mucho. Me recuerda mucho a los videos de Kraig Adams pero con tu estilo y personalidad. Las imágenes en blanco y negro en slideshow funcionan muy bien. Gran documental sonoro @aows
Espero ver más.
Mi hermano, me has hecho recordar mi experiencia del Camino. Tengo que confesar que lo que más me ha gustado del Camino fue lo que hice en Galicia. Es encantadora y es cierto lo que dices al final... la travesía es el destino. ¡Ultreia et Suseia!
Wonderful, I hope you got more than just sore feet from your journey. Thank you Adrian.
That was by far one of the best videos i've ever seen in that platforom.
Thanks for the huge inspiration, respect on everyway!
Fantastico, can’t stop coming back to this video. This is my third time watching it
A wonderful take on an epic journey. Galicia in all it's rugged and wild beauty -
Impressive and wonderful video, como tomaste las imagenes areas?
This is a real pilgrimage.
