- Camino de Santiago - The Way of St James - via Podiensis
This is my story about "My Way" to Santiago de Compostela and The End of The World.
An over 1600 km long journey.
I walked the Way of St James ( via Podiensis, Chemin de Compostelle) and started
in Le Puy-en-Velay, France , Easter 2017.
After I had walked to Saint Jean Pied de Port, I continued over the Pyrenees and along Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela (Galicia Spain) and ended my hike at Cabo de Finisterre. (Fisterra in Galician)
Before I started my hike, I was looking for information about how it might be to make a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. And I discovered that video clips that I found on UA-cam were inspiring and helpful. So I want to do similar to others that are planing to walk a Camino.
That's why I share my hike so that you who need information or inspiration can get it through my film.
This video is 3 hour long and I have mixed photos and video clips. It's not focused on tourism, it's more a film about life on the road. I also tells short stories from thing that happen to me during my Camino.
I learned a lot about myself and others and about life itself during my Camino.
And you can see in the video how I was changed in body and mindset.
I hope you will enjoy watching.
If you don't have the opportunity to watch the entire video from beginning to end at once,
I will below give you some notes on times where different steps can be found.

I saw now this video a second & third time and in my opinion it is one of best videos about the camino. It shows the nice sides and the not so nice sides of the camino. It tells also something about the insights, experiences and emotions one has when walking such a distance. I recommend it to everyone who wants to know something about the camino.
Thank you for your kind word. 🙏
I have started my planning for new hikes to Santiago de Compostela and hope to complete them soon. So new videos are coming. 😃🙌🎥
Jag är helt överväldigad av denna vandring. Tror inte jag skulle velat sätta mig på bussen hem utan börjat vandra tillbaka ... Tack igen för att jag fick följa med och se allt det vackra.
One of the best camino pilgrimage videos
Thanks 🙏 I’m so happy you liked it.
What a journey man, what a journey!!!!
🙏😃🚶🏼♂️☀️
Last month (October 2022) I walked the Camino Frances from Villavante to Santiago de Compostela. From this video I remembered that it was important for you that at Cruz de Ferro a Spanish family offered you a hug even though you did not ask for it. When I arrived at Cruz de Ferro I put my backpack against the fence. A woman next to me was struggling with her emotions so I asked her : "Do you want a hug?". She did and she cried her heart out. She thanked me for the hug and I wished her all the best for the remainder of her Camino. I have not seen her again.
Fantastic ❤️ 🙏thanks for telling 😃
I know this comment is several years after your walk, but I just watched the 3 hours and enjoyed every bit of it. You made me feel like I was there. I did a lot of long distance walking but nothing like this. Thank you, Jane, Philadelphia
Thank you 🙏 for watching and I’m happy you liked it 😃
Hugs from Australia- thankyou for sharing your amazing epic journey- God willing I will make this walk next year.
Thanks for your kind words! 🙏
I hope you will have a fantastic journey.
I watched all of it and will watch again. I m already training for 2022. I m 59, my sister is 66 and we 'll be there , the same route next year. Keep inspiring.
Thanks 🙏 I’m also plan to walk again maybe 2022. Buen Camino.
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Kan jeg bli med....???
I have been at El Camino several times, can't wait to go back, thx for sharing.
Yes, I hope it soon will be possible. 🚶🏼♂️
Fully agree with you mate, the Meseta is a highlight for those pilgrims who walk it. Looking forward to doing it again one day. Thank you for sharing with us.
pilgrim skipping the Meseta are missing out big time
wonderfull,thanksL.
Ich watched the film from the beginning to the end. Because. I‘ve already walked the Camino , I felt all your emations, your pain, the ups and downs again. But I can tell you, the Camino has never let go of me and I want to go again this year as soon as Corona allows it. Congratulation for your excellent video. Greatings from Germany.
Thanks, 🙏 yes The Camino touches the heart! I also long to return. 🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♂️ I'm so glad you could feel you were back on the road. 😃☀️All the best! 😃
Absolutely beautifully inspiring. I leave next week from Basel and I'm grateful for your help.

@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Merci vielmals! 🤟
Felicitaciones !! Es el mejor video del Camino que vi , muy inspirador y las 3 horas se pasan muy rápido tanto que ni se notan , ha realizado un gran trabajo gracias por compartirlo y Buen Camino Peregrino !!
Gracias,
I’m glad you liked it. 😃🚶🏼♂️
brilliant video, struggling to hit pause (to continue tomorrow) when I really should be in bed. My brother has done the same route (and met his wife-to-be along the way!). I can't wait to do it myself and watching this has only made it worse.. !
Also I love the Swedish dead-pan delivery style, all the insight into the every day interactions really gives you a true feel. Thanks!
1:08:26... wow
Thanks 🙏😃
So, your brother met his wife, yes, you never know what will happen during a Camino. 😉 I also wait to go back.. maybe next year.
Thanks for watching and I hope you will have a fine Christmas and a wonderful New year.
Wow! Great video, I’m inspired
The Fast Hiker, sin duda el Camino más hermoso es el que dicurre por Galicia.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
I’m happy you liked it. 🚶🏼♂️🙏
I finished watching your walk from Le Puy to Santiago a couple of days ago. Your story and filming are superb.
Your attitude to the Camino reflects my own approach which I found interesting.
I am a 73 year old Scot who walked my first Camino in 2007 and my most recent last August/September.
I was due to walk the Seville to Santiago Camino in May but a severe reaction to the Pfizer booster has prevented me from doing so....my hope now is to walk the route and arrive in Santiago on my 75th birthday next December.
I am regaining my fitness slowly and am presently preeparing to walk the Porto Central route followed (hopefully) by the Camino Ingles later this month.
Meanwhile I am satisfying myself with watching Camino videos.
I also enjoyed watching your Portuguese Central route with Camilla...I found it very useful for my own planning.
Thanks for sharing your adventures and congratulations on your engagement to Camilla....say hi to her.
Ultreia et Suseia.
Thanks for watching and for all kind words.
I’m hope you will recover soon and can continue to walk many more Camino if you want. All the best to you.
and I will perform your greeting. 😃☀️🚶🏼♂️Ultreia 🙏
I wish you all the best with your recovery and future camino pilgrimages.
I love your video I didn't think I would watch to the end but I did I didn't regret it at all keep up the great work thanks
Thanks 🙏😃
Great video of your casino, thanks for sharing it 🇬🇧

🙏 Håller tummarna!
Thanks for sharing your video, truly loved it. Brought back great memories. Take care.
I’m happy you liked it 🙏😃
what a really nice and sympathic Camino documentation!
Thanks 🙏
I have really enjoyed watching your video. Great stories and editing! I have watched your Portuguese series as that is our plan for May 2022 but the first 3 weeks in France looked so beautiful and rural. I am tempted to switch plans!
I'm so glad you liked the video. 😃 🙏Yes it's beautiful in France. Initially, from Le Puy, it is more hilly than it is in Portugal. I hope you will have a nice hike no matter what route you choose. 🚶🏼♂️☀️🌻 Ultreia!😃
Vilken fin film du har skapat! Jag har sett hela idag med några avbrott för lite förtäring på vägen. 😊
Tack 🙏 jag blir så glad att den inspirerar och glädjer andra. 😃
Great video
Thanks 🙏
Excellent video, I watched every minute. It’s one of the best I’ve seen! I’ll be walking Camino Frances late August. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 🙏 and Buen Camino 🚶🏼♂️😃☀️
I loved your video. Thanks for the English subtitles. I'm inspired to start at le Puy. 😊
Thanks for watching 😃
It's different to hike in France compared to Camino Frances but it's a great hike and wonderful people.
Go for it! 😃🚶🏼♂️Ultreia
You have a very up beat attitude about walking the Camino. It's refreshing to see such joy in the Walk. Other videos I've watched are somber and much complaining. Thank You for the ride.
Thank you for watching 😃 It’s fun (mostly 🙃) to hike ☀️🙏
Thank’s for sharing!! I wnat to do this Camino in 2022!! Bom Caminho Peregrino!!!
Thanks! Planning can be a part of the journey. I hope you will have a great hike. Buen Camino.
Thanks for this amazing video and all the work that went into it!

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thanks 🙏
The Fast Hiker, es una pena que dedicaras tan poco tiempo al Camino por Galicia; sin lugar a dudas la parte más hermosa. Y Santiago de Compostela, capital de Galicia y patrimonio de la humanidad, casi "visto y no visto".
Thanks for this. Appreciated. Hopefully will do my own Camino at Christmas '22
I hope you will have a nice hike. Buen Camino 😃🚶🏼♂️
Great job in sharing this out in such a great presentation! I just booked my ticket today for September. Ive Been wanting to do this since I was a kid!! This is even more inspiring. Than you and all the best.
I hope you will have a fantastic time walking the Camino.
Buen Camino 😃☀️🚶🏼♂️
You are a year ahead of us. I'd love to hear of yiur journey.
Vilken underbar film du gjort! Jag funderade på när du gick och insåg sedan att du måste legat bara någon vecka före mig!! Startade 18 maj 2017 från Saint Jean Pied de Port men gick inte alls lika långa sträckor som dig så för mig tog det ca 5 v till Santiago. Blev väldigt rörd några gånger under filmen. Speciellt på slutet när du träffade fransmannen igen på bussen! Hoppas få möjlighet att göra om detta! Tack för att jag fick återuppleva vandringen!!😍
Hej, tack för de fina orden. 🙏😃
Hope to Go this year,🤞
Fingers crossed 🤞
Well done on your fantastic achievement. I watched your journey from start to end whilst training on the treadmill for the Italian Camino, the Via Francigena. great video.
Thanks 🙏😀 oh, then you have a long hike coming ahead of you, that’s nice. I hope you will have a fantastic time on that trail. 🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♂️😃
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Thanks a million, was supposed to do it last year in May, but of course Covid 19 made it impossible. Will be filming the journey also, so I will post it ASAP. Blessings from South Africa.

Wonderful story! I was so nervous if you will get the 6€ back :) great learning, helped me too. I will remember that story. Buen camino Miriam
Yes, 6€ is not so much if you have money but as you write, it’s not about the money. 😃 I am happy that you liked it.
3 hours of warming up i would say 😅 Well it suits your nick .. Just messing, im jealous. Hilsen fra Norge
😃🔆 just do it 🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♂️tack 👍🏻
Stevensons Trail I can only recommend, I ealked it.
But definity it does not lead to the end of the earth.
Thankyou. Just spent a lazy afternoon in Perth Australia watching your video. 2019 we did 2 x Camino Frances, one is spring and one into winter. Hoping to start in Le Puy in 2022. Have really missed walking Europe and it was lovely watching your video and getting to know you a little. 🙏😊 you are a very fast walker!
Hi, I'am glad you liked the video. 🙏 I'm also waiting for the time when I can go back to Spain and hike. I hope to meet you all there.
Being fast is not my goal it's more ... hm the pace in my body. 😃🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♂️
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Going the north way is beautiful
Loved the video. Your enthusiasm and your complete joy of walking the camino came through. Congratulations on living out your dream. Also, yes, you do look like Liam Neeson.
Thanks 🙏 for your kind words. 😃
Yes The Camino feels 😃😃
Wonderful film - please what is the book you mention at about 33 minutes in? Thank you so much for you inspiration x
Thanks 🙏 I think you are looking for “Miam Miam Dodo Gr65” 😃📚
What's your recommendation regarding taking a zero day for sightseeing etc? Any day of the week or should Sundays be avoided as I believe most shops etc are closed on Sundays?
Cities I recommend; If you are walking via podensis in France 🇫🇷 Moissac or Conques, Camino Frances 🇪🇸 Pamplona Camino Portuguese 🇵🇹 Ponte de Lima or Valenca Camino Norte Bilbao, Santander or if you want to visit a looooong beach Laredo.
Sometimes you can find yourself in a small village/town that has an annual festival.
Days when it may be closed are often Sundays but also Mondays. Also on public holidays/church days.
My experience says that often you can find markets in different localities on weekends.
I hope I answered your question.
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker thank you, you have been a great help.
2:06:32 ésta parte del camino luce estilo la película "proyecto bruja Blair" 😮🙄😐😯☹️😢😱 pero como es en Europa sería luce bastante medieval
😅 It's also a way of looking at it. 🚶🏼♂️
Hey, nice to see your video! I think we had dinner in Hospital de Orbigo, in a restaurant, where I have been with another pilgrim...do you remember? Best, Karina
I remember I had dinner with some hikers that evening and that someone went to the church. So it was you and your friends. I'm glad you reminded me and that you liked the video.
Hi Fast Hiker, wonderful video. Thank you for sharing it. I had also the experience of walking in three months from my house to the end of world and I think of it very often. I'm the german guy you've first met in Varaire and with whom you drove back from Fisterra to Santiago. At the moment, I have the plan of hiking from St. Jean to Santiago and to arrive there on my 70th anniversary. One question: when did you start in Le Puy? Greetings, Siegfried
Fantastic, is it really you? Yes this journey is in my mind all the time and I’m happy to inspire others with this video.
I started in Le Puy 15th of April, went in wrong direction and started again the 16th of April. I also have plans to walk next year from SJPDP.
When did you star the way in Le Pui, France? I intent to go and I would like to know when the weather is better.
Hi, I started my hike in mid-April. It was a bit cold some mornings. If you start in May, you have to keep in mind that in France they have a few holidays when many pepoles are hiking so it can be crowded in the hostels. I hope you will have a nice hike.
Again a nice video. What is the program that you use to make it?
I use Adobe premiere 😃
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Do you plan a camino this year?
Första timmen har jag nu sett av din vandring genom Frankrike. Fascinerande att följa din väg. Vet inte om du vill svara, men din dialekt? Var första gången jag hörde dig tala svenska och funderar - är du från Sundsvall? Ser med spänning fram emot fortsättningen 🙂
Många tror d men nej jag har någon blandning … Bergslagen, Västmanland. Dalarna, Gästrikland 😀
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Där ser man. Lite kul med dialekter. Ta inte illa upp, men oj vilket lyft du måste fått när du uppgraderade till den actionkamera du har nu. Vilken skillnad på kvalitet. Men härligt att se denna äldre film också 🙂
I'm curious, if there's no bed in any of the alberque, can you just camp in a park?
I don't know if it's allowed. I know some hikers that slept under a tree or under the stars, but if you want to camp I think you should ask permission from the landowner.
Great video, thanks for sharing... I remembered many places as you walked by; some others I didn’t see bc I also made mistakes going out of the way. I wonder how you remembered all the details? Did you journal or recording? Thanks. Can’t wait to go back.
Thanks 🙏
no, I did not write anything down but when I edited the film the memories came back. There is actually a lot more to tell about but I save that to another time.😃🚶♀️
Thank you for sharing your journey!! 1600 km of experiences. I watched the whole video. Now I'm waiting my chance to do my Camino. Did you include the kilometers of the first day thtough the wrong way?😅
Hi, thank’s 🙏 for watching. In the office in Santiago they said it’s 1515 km from Le Puy to Santiago and then you add 89km to Finisterre. 😃 But you know I walked wrong way serveral times during my journey and then add the free km in the cities 🤪 so I don’t really know how many km I walked 😂😅 And I hope you can do your Camino when it’s calling for you. Ultreia 🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼😃
Bra gjort! En av dina bättre dokumentationer. Har själv gjort fyra Camino i Spanien, 2016-17-!8. Men dina åsikter angående Mezetan skriver jag inte under på. Tjugo mil rakt in i min egen själ, Kanske bra men detta var min första prövningen på min första Camino. Caminon slutar inte i Finnesterra. Då börjar den. BUEN CAMINO
Tack 🙏 Ja vi prövas olika och håller med vandringen fortsätter ... hela tiden.
Was this before or after you have tried to walk the camino del norte ?
Hi, before. 🚶🏼♂️😃 From Le Puy 2017 and Camino Norte 2019.
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker wow and with that experence you could not finish the del norte - interesting.... thanks for sharing
@@thomasthomsen6763 no I made mistakes with my equipment especially the choice of socks and shoes. I had new shoes and they were in Gore tex. and it was to much asphalt to walk on. So me feet fell apart. The strength in body was no problem.
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker thanks for sharing and honest answer
I love your documentary and I hope I'll get the chance to do the Camino. I was really focused on watching your vlog that I couldn't help but notice you spent thinking of your 6 Euro. Why???!!! I know money is money but as a pilgrim, I wouldn't even bother if I give that money to someone in need even when the other person says that he'll it pay it back. Unless, of course, it is 600 Euro, which I wouldn't have anyway.
Thanks 🙏 I’m asking my self the same. 6 euro when he needed 12. I don’t know. It’s not about the amount of money it was more about the situation, helping others and things you are afraid of.
I think I needed to learn something. You know, walking a Camino is to learn.
I hope you will have a great journey when the chance for your Camino appears.
Wow! Great video, I’m inspired
