The Roman Road has been dug up in places & only close to the highest point of any Camino in Spain the Pass of Fuenfria 1796 mts it remains intact. Hard 30kms a fantastic stage with amazing views to the peaks of the Sierra de Guaderrama which I have climbed & when it culminates in a city like Segovia it's really hard to beat. Definitely ranks as one of the many memorable days of the fourteen Caminos I have done, Buen Camino

Yes it's on my to do list, only 2 days with a car shuffle

Thanks that would have been a great trip, I came across two people rafting down the Colo & they had to haul their rafts over the many boulders & other obstacles. They said it was particularly slow & hard going, nothing is easy is you want lasting memories, happy hiking

Hi Greg great to hear from you, I am working through the third part and of course that night in Trabadelo in Casa Susi. I recorded so much stuff that's impossible to include it all but I can send you some video files if you like where you are in it particularly "Camino Road" John Denvers Country Road.

@@JROMEROD Muchas gracias el Camino del Salvador lo hice el 2018, junto con el Lebaniego y el Vadiniense y el Primitivo el 2016. Qué bien que lo pudisteis compartir con tú hijo no solamente para crear esas experiencias juntos pero también para que tú hijo conozca lo bueno que tiene el Camino. Regreso a España en marzo del año que viene para añadir a mis 14 Caminos y quiero empezar de Tarifa el punto más Sur de España y subir la Península pasando por Santiago y ir al punto más norte

@@JoeCarmona Fantástico. Yo espero hacer el Camino del Norte. Buena suerte.

@@JROMEROD Igualmente el Norte es precioso

Hi Rob, yes it brings back the memories of April's Camino so many wonderful memories bring on April 2025 for Lisbon to Santiago

Thanks glad you liked it, I returned to Spain this April & completed five consecutive Caminos I have uploaded some videos on my KZbin channel & I plan to come back next year to do more. Age is but a number it doesn't define us, if we are healthy then there is nothing that can stop us. You are already motivated and walking 10 ks daily, the Camino is already done all you have to do is plan it. You will find that when the whole day is dedicated to walking much greater distances are easily accomplished, so 10kms becomes 20kms. It's not a race and the infrastructure is superb with lot's of accommodation, there are lots of apps with so much information to plan your Camino. If I can be of any help don't hesitate, the Camino is an experience like no other

@@JoeCarmona ….Many thanks. I appreciate your kind offer. You must be one of the most experienced Camino pilgrims! I presently wear Hoka speedgoat shoes but you mentioned in the video that yours were more hard wearing. What sort of Hokas were they please?

@@emlyngriffith5846 Thanks, I came accross Hokas for last years Caminos & I used Hoka Annacapa for 1000 kms & they were so good that I continually wore them when I got back to Australia. For my recent five Caminos in April & May I took two pairs a Hokas Speedgoat 5 & a Hoka Annacapa both brand new out of the box. The Hoka Annacapa I used it for the Camino Frances 800 kms & the Hoka Speedgoat for my other four Caminos totalling 700 kms they were both great but the Speedgoat had very little tread after 700 kms while the Annacapa could have done another 800 kms. There is nothing wrong with the Speedgoat it's a great shoe but it depends how long your Camino is. Buen Camino

@@JoeCarmona …Muchas graçias! 👍🍷

Hi Joe, it was a pleasure to walk with you....great videos, thank you! Edward from Austria

@@edwardfrisch6688 Edward how are you, thanks glad you liked it there's the next video from Leon to Santiago including the night in Trabadelo with everyone playing guitar and singing till late. There's no kangaroos in Austria are you sure

@@JoeCarmona Back to work.....main season now......its amazing to see the videos, where i have been at same time...thanks for that! Meanwhile i am thinking of doing another camino.....what about you? Are you back in Australia...shoulder ok?

@@edwardfrisch6688 Hi Edward , there were great memories and the Camino always calls you back so yes I plan a long long Camino next year beginning in Gibraltar and following various Caminos from the southernmost point in Spain where you can see Africa to Santiago then continue up the coastline to the most northernmost point in Spain 2500 kms. Yes shoulder is much better not 100% yet so I do day walks still a couple of months before I can do multiple day off track crazy stuff that I used to do before, all the best and stay in touch. Did you get to do that 1/2 marathon with your wife in Vienna?

Thanks again Simon for leading, a great day in the Budawangs

thanks Michelle glad that you liked it. Whereabouts in Aussie are you visiting?

@JoeCarmona the gold coast area and then I'll be checking out lamington national park and byron bay.

@@glazierm84 enjoy that time of the year is perfect

@@glazierm84 How did your camino go,I remember the group you were with stayed at Boadilla del Camino. It was great sharing a few days on the Camino from Burgos, Hontanas and Boadilla del Camino. That section of the Camino will be in my next video Logrono to Leon, great to hear from you

@@JoeCarmona it was amazing! I'm ready to go back! I enjoyed your company and stories!

Thank you Rob, Camino friend for your drone footage I am still sorting through my media to send you what I have to share, I have mentioned your channel and I hope that it's successful, keep on uploading

Thank you s​o much my friend@JoeCarmona

Thanks glad you like it, I used a Gopro 11 and my google pixel 7 mobile phone, Buen Camino

Thanks glad you liked it Jorq hope your Caminos went well I am back in Australia and will upload the videos of my five consecutive Caminos

Thanks Robert glad you like it and thanks for your drone images, they were awesome. One of the videos I will upload SJPDP to Logrono "walking on hot coals" will be my struggles through the pain barrier of my dislocated shoulder but also to honour Sebastian and his struggles on the Camino, buen Camino my friend

Thanks Judi much appreciated It was great to have walked with you, they were great memories and I hope that I captured them to be able to present them on video

Hi Judi, thanks for subscribing it was great to walk with you and Janelle on the Camino Inglés It was an excellent Camino. I have just completed my fifth consecutive Camino, when I left you I did the Camino Invierno then I had sufficient time to go down to Valenca de Minho in Portugal and do the Camino Portuguese Variante Espiritual and I completed it on Saturday. I am in Madrid with my family and get back to Australia later in the week then will start creating videos

Fue a principio de Junio del 2018, fue una primavera con bastante lluvia y el campo estaba perfecto, buen Camino

Thanks glad you liked it

Según las distancias, los días de 30- 35 kms empezar sobre las 6 de la mañana y terminar a las dos dé la tarde. Los días de más de cuarenta kms terminar a las cuatro

It certainly is and the views from the lookout are simply sensational

Obrigado, bom Caminho

Gracias Alfonso si son impresionantes, espero que tú Camino también sea impresionante

I turned downstream on Brogers Creek,it's only over a km, happy hiking

Hi Rob we will be in touch when I get back to Australia, great to walk with you

No problem my friend look forward to it❤

Thanks a lot Craig I have such fond memories of the three Hokas in last year's Camino, I hope you are well

Hi ANH, this is my email address if you wanted to get in touch and share some ideas on editing and creating videos [email protected]

Yes I dislocated my shoulder and was left clinging to the cliff face with one hand until my companions tied a rope to my body and pulled me up the last twenty metres to the tops and regardless here we are and about to do Caminos in my case my shoulder isn't sufficiently strong to carry a full pack and I will have to send it on. Thanks for subscribing and I wish you a buen Camino and hope that the shoulder doesn't give you too much grief

Thanks for the tip, I will do that in April when I do my four consecutive Caminos starting in SJPDP April 1, buen Camino

Thanks Harry, well done hope all the best for your upcoming Camino in May, it's a bit wet now in mainland Spain and by May you should be right. I am only a few days from my four Caminos from SJPDP on April 1

Muchas gracias tienes razón Galicia tiene muchos lugares únicos, buen Camino

Thanks for the feedback, what Camino did you use them for and how many kilometers did you walk with them

Thanks mate much appreciated, sharing my adventures is something that brings me great pleasure and to compliment me and say they are inspirational is truly humbling. As a fellow hiker you understand the risks that are involved, the areas we go into are extremely hard and the risk, reward high on both sides given your injuries and my dislocated shoulder, fine line between an injury and been a statistic. Great to hear that you're also a southern ACT resident and that George has worked on your rehabilitation, he is going to get a big head I have an appointment with him on monday

Muchas gracias Chris yo tambien ire mas lento cuando haga mis cuatro Caminos consecutivos en Abril y Mayo. I had a shoulder dislocation climbing out of a gorge only seven weeks ago and I am still recovering as I fly out to Spain next week and begin my Camino from SJPDP on April1 and as we share the same age isn't great that we are still able to do this. I don't have a favourite Camino only the one that you are currently doing, they are all different in so many ways. I wish you a buen Camino for May

Hopefully your shoulder recovers quickly. I am very grateful for being a pilgrim at 70! This year in May my average mileage will be reduced from 15 to 12 miles per day. You captured the spirit of the Camino beautifully! Buen Camino!

Thanks, there is a sign in Spanish "Normas de Uso" Rules of Use "beber sin abusar" drink without abuse, it doesn't specify an amount but what it does state that if you want to take the wine they would like you to purchase it from the winery. There is a total limit of 100 litres per day from the fountain so if you happen to stay in Estella 3 kms from Irache then you will have the best chance to sample pure wine. I had stayed in Cirauqui some 17kms away so when I arrived mid afternoon unfortunately it was more water than wine as one of the Spanish members of the group called out "clarete" watered down wine. There is also a web camera that is on 24/7 that allows you to see the pilgrims visiting the fountain. Buen Camino

Thanks Ron glad you liked the videos and congratulations on your Camino. The only narrations I do are for my KZbin channel Hiking Heaven where I have uploaded more then 170 videos, I have done the Larapinta Trail, Overland Track and many more so you might have come across my videos. Glad to hear that you're an active 70 year old Aussie, happy Hiking and Buen Camino

That's the best way join a hiking group. There's Bushwalking Clubs in all major cities to take the necessary next step, happy hiking

Yes so many parallels, Ruben when in March I leave Australia 20th March and will spend time with family then begin from SJPDP on April 1 and will hopefully be in Santiago 30 April. I lived in Geelong in 1962 then we moved to Sydney where I grew up. I wouldn't mind exchanging email address if that isn't to forward, buen Camino

I was no in 1962 Brisbane Australia. I am so inspired to do the Camino. I live in Townsville Qld these days What is the cost to do the Camino

@@minimalist5555life Thanks I am glad that the Camino has inspired you to do it as well, as far as costs go I would have said between 40-50 euros when I did that video last August but after doing five consecutive Caminos from SJPDP from April 1 it is more like 50 euros daily that includes accommodation in albergues about 15-18 euros and food, it's much cheaper if you buy food from supermarkets and cook meals. Buen Camino

Thanks glad that you liked it. There were a couple of reasons for choosing to go from SDC to Finisterre then Muxia, first of all this was a reward for finishing my Camino Frances in 26 days as I only had 33 walking days available to me. In 2016 I did 3 Caminos, Norte, Primitivo and from SDC to Muxia ending in Finisterre, which I found a more natural way to end your Camino, therefore this time around I wanted to do it in reverse Finisterre then finish in Muxia and taking that route was able to at Cee take that side trip to visit the Waterfall at Ezaro well worth it, buen Camino and good luck with your KZbin channel

@@JoeCarmona And to your channel as well. I will sub 😊 I'm planning my second Camino for Sept 2025.

​@@AMonsLifeThanks much appreciated as you will become my 1000 th subscriber. I am planning four consecutive Caminos beginning in SJPDP April 1 this year

Muchísimas gracias,mis datos vienen del app de Gronze donde tiene dos nombres el Caminó del Salvador o de San Salvador en referencia a su destino la Catedral de San Salvador en Oviedo, buen Camino

@@JoeCarmona Verás, soy de Oviedo, Y es un error que ha trascendido y se da por bueno. La Catedral de Oviedo conserva en su interior El Santo Sudario, que es junto a la Sábana Santa, la reliquia más importante de la cristiandad. Se supone que es una especie de pañuelo con el que se cubrió el rostro de Jesucristo en su tumba. Es por eso que la Catedral está consagrada a Jesucristo, al Salvador, lo de meter a San Salvador, un italiano del siglo XVII cuando la Catedral es del siglo XIV. De ahí el dicho que nombras: El que visita Santiago y no visita al Salvador, visita al siervo y no visita al señor. Santiago no fue siervo de San Salvador. Buen camino.

@@DonGarfialoMuchisimas gracias, tienes razon se dice que la historia esta escrita por los ganadores. Ha sido un placer y a proposito he visto varios de tus videos en tu canal de KZbin tienes una gran voz, te deseo lo mejor para tu canal desde Canberra Australia un saludo

Thanks for watching!

@@JoeCarmona Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….

Muchas gracias Pilar es un placer compartir los paisajes de Australia. Para encontrar este tipo de selva necesitas que llueva lo necesario. En toda la costa del este tenemos selvas de las tropicales del norte a las templadas del sur y incluso bajando a Tasmania hay tambien este tipo de selva. Pero donde hay humedad tambien encuentras muchas sanguijelas, cuando regrese de esta caminata tenia las marcas de donde habian chupado la sangre.

Thanks glad you liked it, the Albergue en el Camino in Boadilla has room for 70 people in bunk beds and private rooms in hotel next door has a great communal dinner for 13.5 Euros and cheap breakfast for 3.5 Euros was great relaxing in the pool as that day I had done some 38kms in close to 40c in the meseta. One of the best albergues of the Camino, buen Camino

Thanks the waterfalls are quite spectacular although you have to be prepared and carry the right equipment. Where I had my dislocated shoulder I was hanging on to cliff line with only one hand and only the quick action of my companions made a possible fatal incident into walking out through thick scrub to hospital. So injuries can occur like you mention with your stingray injury. Three weeks in a sling won't stop me from doing four consecutive Caminos in April and May, happy hiking and good luck with your KZbin channel

Hi Peter, no that wasn't me we were there before Australia Day, have you hiked the Water Race Creek down to the Shoalhaven it has spectacular waterfalls. This walk we changed it because we were concerned about water levels on Tulleyngala Creek and Dungeon Canyon down to Ettrema so I haven't been down to Touga Road or Quiera Crossing, still waiting for el Nino hot dry weather on the south coast, happy hiking
