I enjoyed this video. Decades ago, when hostels were based on people helping out to keep costs down, I quite enjoyed working around the hostel for an hour or two. I love the idea of donativo albergues, as that is the true spirit of the Camino. I will look for them when I do the Camino next year. We can learn so much from other people while preparing a meal together. Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing! Which Camino will you walk?
I love the sawing machine in the background...
Thanks an old school Italian touch ;) only few can appreciate this…
We have one in our hallway. It belonged to my Hispanic husband's French grandmother.
Awesome video, what a showcase of the Beautiful Sweden. How heavy is Ana’s pack. Very different from the Camino being self sufficient. Thank you for sharing the journey. Safe travels!
Thanks for watching!
Blowing in the Wind!
Yesssss
Blowing in the wind. 😊
yessss! now i m learning the next one...
You guys compliment each other beautifully. Thank you for your very informative videos.
Our pleasure!
You guys are wonderful. I am so with you. Minute: 13:44, about Giving. The Camino becomes so much more a giving experience, when the giving comes from the Pilgrim. "The Camino provides" is such a misunderstood phrase and you guys, just brought some light into this. Gracias, Thanks you, Grazie, Dzięki 😌
💚💚💚 where are you now Sven? Are you getting ready for recordings?
I just arrived from Santiago de Compostela.
I started the path in the city of Chaves, Portugal, Verin, Compostela, 8 days walking.
The first three days I only met 3 pilgrims, I ended up seeing a total of 20 pilgrims on the road to Sanabres.
just choose routes that normally nobody does, or maybe considered difficult. I loved all the pains of this path, no injuries, I helped some pilgrims, and I made friends.
p.s. never forget if you make the way you have to stamp your credential twice day, those who make the way by bike 4 stamps a day.
buen camino
Congratulations !!! Thanks for sharing your journey and experiences , which is your next Camino?
@@caminotellers My next route will be, Via de La Plata, that is if I prepare myself physically (I have to train on the bike).
I've wanted to do this path for a long time.
I haven't done it yet because of the heat, and because the steps are long, I'm going to choose to do the route by bike.
This year I met pilgrims from Seville, and I got the contact , so I could send my bike and do the via de la plata. So I can now travel by plane without luggage.
Continued good travels to you both.
P.S. Don't tell too many secrets, leave a few for us to discover.
Buen Camino

Hello from California! song: "Blowin' in The Wind" GOOD JOB Ricky!! ❤
Southern Cali is Blowin’ in the wind today. Y’all better hunker down. Looks like Hilary’s angry.
Thanks 🤗
@@mikea7429 Light rain so far, but I'm dreading tonight!
Lucky for me I'm way up in the mountains of Lake Tahoe. We have been experiencing Thunder/ligtning storms with lots of rain for days now. Getting ready for the big rain coming! Thanks!
We also stayed in lots of small towns, and this was in April and May, so we did miss a lot of the crowds. Some towns were just bottlenecks though or can't really be missed, like Burgos or Astorga. We walked a lot of shorter days which then meant we had time to walk around the little towns and sight-see. Biggest tip is to go a bit past Sarria, to Barbadelo, and then you miss the massive crowds that start walking there in the morning. Walked almost alone for several hours, as the Sarria crowd did not catch up until almost noon. Donativos like San Nikolas are really special treats.
Exactly! Thanks for sharing? Are you walking next year?
Hope to walk Portuguese central in the spring.@@caminotellers
Great insight Thank you guys. Yes Americans tip for sure.
Our pleasure!
Hi guys!
Excellent chat again. Just a laugh as the subtitles instead of Donativo they come up with donut evil...very funny.
Hahahah ! Thanks a lot, hugs from Japan
Another valuable video from the @caminotellers ! We will make the Camino in Just a few more weeks from SJPDP! We love meeting new people but also, some quiet time too! so this was very good advice. What about on the path? If we say in the smaller albergue should we leave a little later to miss the crowds? We leave in September, will it be a busy time??
September is busy, but you can find “your “ moments ! When starting at the same time (as others) from the small place you will always keep the same distance from them… keep us informed! We will be in Japan with our feet but our heart will still be on the Camino
Ricky, I don't know if you've already mentioned it, for pilgrims to be careful with festivals in towns, or holidays.
On this path I had problems finding open fruit stores, in August there are many parties in small towns and it is difficult to find small grocery stores open or even supermarkets, only restaurants are open. and have information about municipal and national holidays, as everything is also closed.
the Spaniards when they are partying, the next day everything is closed.
buen camino
So true!! Thanks Bruno!
blowing on the wind…
❤
💚🤗
Happy Days 👋🏽 day #16
greetings from Fonfria, true story
choose small villages
to escape from a crowd 👍🏽
try it and you will know it…
happy dayzz! thanks for keeping us updated!
@@caminotellers of course 👋🏽 day#17 Happy Days konnichiwa from Morgade😎🥳
How many roads and the background music I heard in the beginning was Mary had a little lamb lol
Hahaha nop!
If you do the Porto route in November will there be less people on the trail? Are the places to stay still open or are there fewer places to stay in November?
There are fever places as the season kinda stops in the end of October but some albergues are open 365! Especially on the Spanish side.
My wife said Riki is very handsome with his goatee, she likes it better than the beard.❤❤
The beard is still there, hidden in the shadows. 😉
🤗

How do you find the smaller places to stay
There is a webpage called Gronze.com and they have a list of all the albergues…. Or any other info page will also do. Hugs
Ricky, you look years younger with the shorter beard.
Happy Dayzzz! Thanks 🤗
Who did do the cover art?
Hey Terry, we had a cover designer do it for us 😊
It's called over giver-syndrome. I it comes from low self-esteem and lack of proper boundaries.
I like the nickname Red Cross syndrome.
Thanks for feedback!
Why do you say VDLP is for braves?
I had a huge dormitory to myself at the municipal albergue in Tui late June last year.
Just because Via de la Plata is really long, and some stages are long before you can get to albergue
@@caminotellers lol true The trick is to measure distances in miles, then it's not as far
the problem with via de la plata for me is the heat, the distance between stages is great, for those who walk the path. from seville to salamanca very hot, we started the day at 3,4 in the morning and by 10 in the morning you can't walk anymore.
A few steps away we don't have water and food points and we need to have everything we need for that day and maybe the next.
yes the via de la plata is the most challenging path.
French way in winter must also be fun...
buen camino
@@brunoferreira3182 what time of year did you walk?
Is early June already too busy from Sarria?
Yes, it is!
😅 oh well!
Flashlight in American English. A head torch would burn your hair off! 😊
I won’t have that problem.
Ahahahah that's funny, thanks for the correction, we'd better use a flashlight then 😂
@@caminotellers No, then the British will be correcting you!
@@mikea7429 Ditto!
@@caminotellers Technically, I think it's called a headlamp. A flashlight is usually carried in a person's hand.
I think he looks very smart with the short goatee. With the untamed beard he looks like he's on the Meseta with no water and in a panic. 😂😂😂
And the “funniest comment of the year “ goes to… You! Hahahah we were laughing for a long time
@@caminotellers thank you so much. I want you to stay hydrated. We're looking forward to your trip to Japan.
PS. I thought it was very funny too. LOL!
A 'people pleaser' is someone who unnecessarily gives too much of themselves to others
mmm, we are trying to find the "middle way" as sometimes we fall into that category
How many roads must a man walk down .....
mmm
How many roads can one man walk until he knows he's a man, etc., good folk song
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
🎶🤗🎶
If you need help with Spanish translation I can help. I’m fluent in English and Spanish. 😂
