  • The Pyrenees section is one of THE most challenging parts of the Camino Francés for us. We broke the section into two days which worked well for us. Here’s a recap of our first two days of walking the Camino beginning in St Jean Pied-de-Port.

    Just found your channel! I love your videos! When I crossed the Pyrenees it was foggy, rainy and cold. So it is nice to experience it through your videos! What kind of camera did you use to film? The footage is amazing!

    • @CaminoProvisions

      Joey, thanks so much for your kind words! Back in 2007 I carried an old school SLR (remember how big they were back then?!) AND a small Sony video camcorder! SO HEAVY! Each trip we made I downsized my camera fro the weight. On this trip I used my iPhone 12 Pro Max for all the photos and videos, and to make these videos in iMovie, too. It's amazing what you can capture and do with phone/cameras these days. You do have to set the settings to capture the largest photo file, and be able to offload your photos and videos to the Cloud or a storage device. I used the Cloud.

    También son muy hermosos los Pirineos de Aragón, mucho más altos y agrestes. Y los de Cataluña por Gerona. Verdes y frondosos bosques.
    Gracias por sus oraciones. 😄☺🤗🇪🇸

      Spain requires proof of vaccination within 9 months of your arrival. There was no check crossing into France to get to St Jean.

      The taxi from Pamplona to SJPP was around €130. There is a bus, but the time didn’t work for us, and the one for the day we arrived was already full. Yes, there is another place called Borda. It was full, or “completo.” We talked to a couple of pilgrims who stayed there and liked it.
