    As a Camino veteran/addict (27 times) I love watching folks undertake the journey. I enjoy the enthusiastic start that's inevitably followed by the realization of what you're getting yourselves into. I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolds for y'all! Here's to a successful pilgrimage! Buen Camino!

    Thankfully a useful Camino video. I've been down a rabbit hole trying to get specific info. Almost everyone just wants to show what they packed and how much weight it all is. Finally, someone showed what it's like to get to the starting point, and how to check in. THANK YOU! Next I just need to find a video on how you exchanged money, where, when, how much was good for the first few days, when did you need to replenish, etc.

    Hello. I m just got back from my Camino, leaving from Le Puy to Santiago. It took us 70 days, we could only do 20 k m a day, but we made it. You do learn along the way. You learn what you don t need in your pack, to always have water from each town and a snack in your bag when the places are open. Menu del do a are incredible deals to eat before they close at 4 pm. Keep inspiring.

    Hey, Buen Camino, wish you safe travels on the Camino. I just did 5 days from where you started, St Jean and it was a little more challenging than i expected but I decided to take my time and made it. The company I had booked thru, Orbis Way had set up my hostels and baggage transfer from day to day, which is also available. Part of the booking experience was to provide an emergency phone contact in case of any emergency which they had stressed to use if I needed it. I made it though, advice is to hydrate continuously and pace yourself if you are not used to long hikes, thanks again good luck you bring back great memories for me

    Hey guys, thanks for sharing. We too celebrated our marriage but by walking The Way of St Francis. This is a 560Km walk from Florence to Rome in Italy. Long distance walking does test a relationship but I’m happy to say we survived. And tbh I really miss the challenge of walking such long distances each day. Hence why I’m watching your videos so I too can plan my walk of the Camino. My wife has already walked it and encourages me to do the same. I am planning to start in May 2023. Thanks again for sharing and please know that everyone who posts videos of their journey encourages everyone else to start theirs.

    The three videos never says a word about Christianity that I noticed. For them, it is just a trek. At one point they show Sam taking a whiz, which is disrespectful. The words on the certificate say it is given to anyone who arrives "with an attitude of devotion, or because of a vow or promise," and one can simply vow to do this for exercise, but it seems a little disrespectful to others. The words are:
    "The Chapter of this Holy Apostolic and Metropolitan Cathedral of Compostela, custodian of the seal of the Altar of St. James, to all the Faithful and pilgrims who arrive from anywhere on the Orb of the Earth with an attitude of devotion or because of a vow or promise make a pilgrimage to the Tomb of the Apostle, Our Patron Saint and Protector of Spain, recognises before all who observe this document that: …………… has devotedly visited this most sacred temple having done the last hundred kilometers on foot or on horseback or the last two hundred by bicycle with Christian sentiment (pietatis causa). In witness whereof I present this document endorsed with the seal of this same Holy Church. Issued in Santiago de Compostela on ……… of …………… year of our Lord ………. The Dean of the Cathedral of Santiago"

    So many mistakes. Packs weigh too heavy. Total weight should be less than 10 lbs. the woman needs a real shirt to protect her shoulders from the backpack straps. The guy mentioned having a laptop in his pack- absurd.
    Not surprising these two complained the whole time and then skipped most of the Camino. Don’t follow their advice.

    St. Jean is pronounced like Saint John. I'm hoping your trip turns out to be much more than a series of videos to get views. The Camino is a very sacred trek and is certainly no vacation. Please be mindful of this. Makes me sad that it has been reduced to a mini content farm in the past two years.

      Hi there! I see you make loads of UA-cam videos yourself. I think you’d understand the value of documenting special experiences. Watching other pilgrim’s experiences on UA-cam is what inspired us to research this Camino in the first place & we hope we can inspire others as well! We pronounced this town wrong and we may pronounce many things wrong in the future. If that’s going to upset you we may not be the right channel for you. 💛
