2 Weeks on the Camino de Santiago on a Budget - The Other Side of the Camino Documentary

[@lizbaggetta5615]

My first Camino was the Camino Portugues from Baiona to Santiago at 65 years old! Now at 67 I’ll be returning for Camino #3, starting in Sarria!! I definitely have felt that Camino magic and understand your feelings when it’s hard to find the words to describe how this magic changes you. In watching your video I found myself saying “I’ve been there!” on numerous occasions! And just like Lisa, got goosebumps when I first saw the Cathedral, followed by a good ugly cry!! 😭 I can’t wait to do it all again. Thanks for taking me back to happy times. Buen Camino to you both, wherever you’re headed next. 💕

[@kenkatie]

I love that you decided to switch back to the coastal route. Inspirational because too many of us keep going on the path we know isn’t right for us. You found your own way.

[@KatieMcManus]

Loved this little documentary! I watched the whole thing! Can’t wait to see more. ❤

[@rainyinspainy]

I’ve watched quite a few Camino videos and I think this one is my favorite

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you :)

[@emmawwa]

I love how authentic you guys are. It;s a breath of fresh air.

[@swtginger1]

My 13yr old son and I just finished watching this and he was so inspired to do the Camino as a family. Thank you for such a good documentary! Hopefully we’ll make it there in the next few years.

[@LisaAndJosh]

we love hearing this!! we'd love to do the camino with our family some day! hope you guys get to go soon!

[@timbrawdy2249]

I think going back and redoing the Camino and taking back the bad memories and making them better is honorable. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@selledelarosa]

This is amazing and truly inspiring. As someone who works from home 80% of the time, it makes me want to explore places I've never seen before. What I love most about this video is how it emphasizes the importance of enjoying the journey, rather than just focusing on the end goal. I can’t wait to try this with my partner, maybe next year!

[@AydinProductionsLtd]

I havent done th Camino but as someone that hikes and bikes in the Canadian Rockies where I live I think any place you do an activity where you get to ponder your life and moment can be up lifting. My mother in law was 75 when she did the whole Camino Frances by herself . A devout catholic she loved it and will be doing another trip 7 days with her 4 kids . She will be 82 in January. Enjoyed your videos and fell into one yesterday about New Zeaand as my son left to do a working holiday last week and is enjoying Van life.

[@cuzuvmcvoy]

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤ I ALWAYS FIND MYSELF TEARING UP WITH JOY AT THE END OF EVERY VIDEO WHEN JOSH WRAPS UP YOUR JOURNEYS. LISA, I LUV YOUR SIMPLICITY AND WARM SMILE. I SEE WHY JOSH LOVE YOUR COMPANY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I WOULD BE PUMPED AND READY TO GO TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH A POSITIVE, CHILL BUDDY LIKE YOU. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH INSPIRATION YOU'VE GIVEN US.🥰🎉🥂🍾

[@soyucse51]

I find myself wining and reclining with both of you after a crazy ass shift at the hospital. It provides me the perfect kind of solemn warm perspective that there’s so much to life. I just appreciate both of you and all the videos you make. Created with such warm, genuine, and realistic viewpoint in traveling. I’m working in US right now, but I hope soon you can try to visit my hometown Cebu, Philippines. Safe travels always 🫰🏼

[@r.hudsonmadeo5745]

I have to give you both credit. You know how to make a good video. You "show" and don't tell. So many of these videos are people talking in a room with the occasional clip outside. This was really enjoyable and I got somewhat of a sense of what the trip was like. Thank you.

[@TravelWithBen121]

I think I found your guy's channel during your last Camino and it's so clear that you're so much happier during this one! Taking it slower and stopping more definitely helped you enjoy it more! I think you've inspired me to do the Camino myself...

[@pinkandspice1691]

I did my camino in 2022 and watch this channel before I left now I am encouraged to do this one ❤

[@davybhoy]

Fantastic doco well done to both of you!!! Your last day was sensational - so good to see the joy on your faces. Next month i start my 3rd camino!

[@annarosenberg1251]

The most up lifting and truly inspiring video I've watched. I'm so grateful, thank you so, so much. I'm no longer hesitating and will be going to Porto in a few weeks. Thank you guys❤

[@prdeal]

Epic doc! The most genuine and honest travel channel on the tube. Love you guys big time. Not crying. Allergies. Well done.

[@rhondalyn100]

Hey, guys...I so very much enjoyed watching this the second time around. Been following y'all for a long time. I remember saying, way back in the 30k range, that you'll be getting to 100k in no time. And...look! You're almost there! I don't always comment but I always watch and...enjoy. Love y'all. Keep on truckin'; I'm with you all the way! 🙂

[@tired_mom]

My favorite camino video I've seen. I appreciate hearing about peooles spirtual and emotional connection to the journey, but this is so helpful for someone preparing for their first one. A realistic idea of what we could find a long the way 😊

[@Yisraela]

Thank you Lisa and Josh for making this incredible video series on the Camino Portuguese. I'll be walking this September, starting in Porto. I'll be walking on my 67th birthday and hopefully with a friend, who is about to leave for Europe tomorrow... Anyway, I'm so excited to walk this Camino, and I'll be watching this entire series again. You both have inspired me so much and if I do go by myself, that's ok!! I'm confidante in my abilities to navigate and make this Camino my own. Thank you again, you two made me totally laugh at some points, and shed a tear at the end...God bless you both!! ♥

[@ThatForeignBloke]

Wow, just wow! I absolutely loved that video from start to finish.

[@aknudsen93]

I hiked the last 100 km of the Camino 10 years ago. I was not a hiker at all. A woman chastised me for holding my poles wrong. This was actually a good thing. All I remember is that I loved meeting new people and the Camino. I am planning on hiking the entire Camino, not sure when. I loved the way you started your video. It got me hooked right away. Buen Camino!

[@justanotherfan18]

Thanks for making the comparison. My son and I will pick a route and do in 2027! Thanks for doing it your way, as there is no wrong way, as my son and I plan to make it our way with lots of exploring!!

[@CTCJ08]

This was the perfect video for me. I finished my camino frances in late May and planning my next one for 2025 and the Camino from Porto to Santiago along the coast is my pick. Would be again around May. Hopefully less rain than this year !

[@rhondamcnish6959]

I cried so many times watching your video!! Sooo Beautiful and Joyful!!! Can’t wait to do it next April!! 2025!!!❤️

[@geraldinelau2806]

The Camino magic ..... I did my 1st Camino last year May (last 100km stretch from Sarria to Santiago) and during my last 2 days of walking, already starting to think of walking 2nd Camino as I couldn't get enough of it. And yes, planning for my 2nd one (so happen will be Camino Portuguese from Porto).

[@shesgotthis]

hi! i found your page while researching about the camino. and loving your chill, not too anxious vibes here.. i plan to do the Camino de Frances next year, around end of June to maybe Mid August. as an inexperienced hiker/walker, and just living my normal, sedentary life, with alot of anxiety alreadty- i hope i will be able complete the way.. Looking forward to more of your content here. Buen Camino!

[@EdwinCV-dh8qc]

Wow,your Camino trip blew my mind thanks for sharing guys.

[@bruss4648]

Really emotional watching the end! Beautiful pilgrimage! Beautiful video! Congrats!!

[@c04261984]

Just finished watching your vlog. Thanks so much for sharing this experience will all of us! I’ve watched many of your vlogs, and this one is my favorite! I’ve never thought about doing the Camino, and now I want to! Awesome job you guys!!

[@xuanvanorner4191]

I will never have the opportunity to travel like you two. I'm living through you guys. I agree with the coastal routes near the ocean. Much more beautiful. Less noisy car traffic. Good decision. ❤

[@DavyDavy84]

This is incredibly enlightening! I'm planning to embark on the Camino next year, and I've been grappling with the decision between the central and coastal routes.

[@debsmith8102]

❤❤ love that you show some of the food along the way! No one does that!!

[@billkrueger9305]

the coastal route is the best...the remoteness of it makes it awesome...love that you are going back!! have been there 3 times and will go back again, not sure which route...but then maybe Lucca to Rome???!!! So awesome that you are going back to the coast...just shows how smart you are!!!! Natas are the best! she is right...do the Frances first...and in the end it is just another Camino...but that is the most awesome thing you can say...we ARE just pilgrims...waiting for the next Camino...many thanks for this, you guys are awesome! stay well! buen camino!

[@ednabrioso6141]

My first Camino experience is the Portuguese Way and i loved it!

[@erwinveenhoven]

I remember your first Camino video. It seems that the Camino reprise was a great idea. The 'mood' of the video is so different. Thanks for sharing. I couldn't begin to imagine the effort to video-share my camino. Glad you do!

[@SweetDreams-wt7vo]

Thank you for sharing your love story. The documentary was also excellent. Very inspiring and mind framing.

[@aceonweb]

Looking forward to watching this. Enjoyed your camino journeys over the years.

[@makiliv]

Thank you so much for the documentary video! Taking Josh's advice, I'm doing my first Camino this fall on the Portuguese Coastal route. And joining Lisa, petitioning to bring Wine & Recline back fulltime!👟🍷😃

[@LisaAndJosh]

yesss!! buen camino! :)

[@laviniaalexander1509]

What a great video! Thank you….brought it all back. Your insights are spot on. 💞

[@Pennylee58]

About to do my 3rd camino, hooked it steals your heart and soul 😍 loving your video

[@WayneMelissaTravel]

Bucket List, great video, thank you. Y’all are adorable! 💙✈️🌎

[@fourc8642]

Excited for this Camino update! We are on the Camino Portuguese now, and literally just stayed at the Talaso Atlantico last night per your video (and recommendation)! What an amazing spot! Also we stayed in Hotel Jardim in Viana do Castelo nice spot as well!

[@katerpillar5257]

Soooo happy to see you both doing the Camino again, but from Portugal this time! Looking forward to seeing where your next adventure takes you!

[@randimason7567]

Beautifully filmed and documented. Coastal Portuguese will definitely be my next Camino.

[@yoonjin853]

I love this, buen camino 💜

[@steveglennan]

Great documentary of your trip from Porto to Santiago! Thanks for sharing, I think we will consider going this route. Cheers!

[@Gaitini]

Nice to see that you got into the food and wine Portuguese spirit 😁 And the Vinho Verde 🙏

[@tendegreeswarmer]

We are taking Lisa's advice, and will be starting our first Camino, the Frances, in just six weeks! Very excited! We definitely plan on taking time to smell the roses (and the bread).

[@passionatelifeproject]

Yay, good to see you guys back. I really want to do this coastal route. Did you travel during winter? Is this a good time? Or maybe shoulder season instead? I don't want to go when it's full on peak season. And Eucalyptus trees? In Portugal? As an Aussie, I would be super confused by that! I've gotta ask, Josh, where do you get your T-shirts? They are so cool!

[@kingrafferty]

Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@madelon3717]

You really inspired me and my husband to walk the camino as well. Thank you for sharing this, absolutely love your videos. :)

[@pinkandspice1691]

Teary eyed when you reached Santiago. Congrats🎉

[@timbrawdy2249]

I never got the notification of these last two videos!!! Can’t wait to binge these!

[@mhn7700]

loved watching this again, and I'm so happy you got to do it again with a different mindset with all the difference that makes. I'm curious how much you think the difference in weather/season/amount of pilgrims impacted your different experiences of the two caminos? looking forward to the 3rd walk~ :)

[@laviniaalexander1509]

I burst into tears when I saw the 40km sign!

[@thirtyeyes]

Best route from Porto is Coastal to Caminha then follow river to Valenca/Tui.

[@marikecolyn723]

So excited to watch, just found you again in my feed. Yeay!

[@jacquesbureau1944]

So very True. It's the Journey.

[@wabisaaby]

I'm going coastal in precisely a month. This video was both an inspiration and a help, thanks :) And thanks to this one, I'm staying coastal ;)

[@leed206]

Been watching a while guys always enjoy your videos, unable to do myself so travel through a couple of travel bloggers, 1 pair I know you know. Have fun.

[@moniquemarlette2459]

Just watched your video and loved it! I am ready to start planning a trip there! Keep up the awesome adventures!

[@erwindekker8184]

After doing the French way only a month ago, I thought "never again", then (offcourse) I started to think hmm...which one can I do next...you convinced me! The Portuguese is the one! Thx for the great video!

[@thesub-station4552]

Found this channel from your first Camino vid….and now I’m your fan!

[@JP7onEarth]

Hey you guys, we love your videos. We live in Porto, Portugal and can fully relate with the locations you showed. Including all of the food....Portugal has the greatest food....If you come back here hit us up for lunch or dinner. JP Porto

[@6121jp]

Just watched this. Fantastic and real. Stay real have fun and do more please.

[@jeffbatten9429]

In 2022,at the age of 64, I decided I wanted to walk the Camino de Santiago. After getting a great ($) deal, flying in to Porto, I change my plans from Camino Frances to walking the Camino Portugues first. It is a great way to break in your body to the Camino routine. After 13 days and 270 km I was ready for the Camino Frances. Taking a series of buses and wasting 23 hours, I ended up in St Jean Pier de Port. The walk took me 32 days. 800 km was physically demanding but immensely satisfying. Completing the Frances, like you, was a sad, depressing moment that lead to me continuing to Finisterre. There is a custom among many pilgrims that you should burn an item of clothing at the end of your trek, bath in the ocean, watch the sun set then hike ( in the dark) to Muxia where you watch the sun rise. This symbolizes shedding your old life and welcoming the future and your new life. I decided to only participate in the last of that ritual. I sat on the hill side, overlooking Muxia and watched the sun rise. Maybe the tradition is full of crap but for me, I was able to walk away feeling renewed. My planned departure from Porto was still 20 days away so I set out to walk back instead of taking the easy way. Walking the wrong way on the Camino presents many new challenges. One that always makes me smile is that many of the local townsfolk try and turn you around so that you are “going the right way “. Elderly grandmothers leaning out second floor windows, yelling down to you the correct direction you should be walking. Shop keepers and cafe patrons jumping in front of you, attempting to help the lost pilgrim. My response was always to embrace their kindness, thank them and explain that Porto was my destination. One downside to walking against the flow is that you are on a singular journey that is not shared by fellow travelers. You may meet amazing people but they quickly move on, never to be seen again. In total I walked for 65 days, 1500 km or 900 miles. You would think I’d had enough but I return this year, at the age of 66, to walk the cities and countryside of Spain and Portugal. Returning to Porto, this time with my 37 year old daughter, I attempted to share the earlier experience. We took our time to shed the effects of jet lag and made our way to Ferrol. Our plan was to walk the Camino Ingles in a world wind five days. Though August isn’t my favorite time to be hiking, it was the only time I could drag Kori (my daughter) away from her other life. For five days, I walked, talked and laughed with her. Meeting fellow pilgrims, enjoying the wonderful folks and places gave Kori a snapshot of Camino life before she had to fly home. I, of course, was not done. A 350 km trek awaited my presences so I eagerly proceeded to the start of the Camino Primativo. Mistakenly, I thought the name came from the route word “primitive” but actually it stems from the word “Primary” as this was the first route to Santiago. Though, truth be known, this path was the most rural and unkept path of any I’ve 1:41:26 hiked. Fifteen days and a few accidents later I arrived in Santiago. From here I followed the path I’d taken just two years earlier: Santiago to Finisterre to Muxia to Santiago to Porto. I must be getting old but after 800 km or 500 miles, I was ready to go home

[@traveldreams70]

Wonderful video, I am inspired, the coastal route looks so lovely.

[@kayleehealy8406]

You are amazing Lisa and Josh, woohoo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I started watching your KZbin’s a few months ago when your Japan trips popped up as I watch many many Japan videos.. then I subscribed to your channel. Then I was interested in your Australia videos (I am Australian). Thank you for all of your videos and all the work you put into making these videos.

[@stephaniebardet]

We just watch your second camino and loved it we are french and we were wandering if you might plan one day to do the part of the camino in France. You will love the food lol😂 and we will enjoy watching you

[@pedrozatravel]

Nice adventure, it is nice to see you can still make your own Camino.

[@johnturnbull2146]

Thanks so much, Portuguese then it is for my next Camino and the new tradition of wine and recline 😆🍷

[@davybhoy]

Hey what month did you do this? I am doing the same trip in october 24 and i am concerned at how much stuff appears closed!!

Hola, Well Done! Pre-planning my first Comino for the spring of 2025. Your doc has helped fuel the fire! Gracias.

[@lrogers707]

thank you so much for sharing - including your anxiety...

[@Mudskipper9876]

Thanks for walking the Camino de Santiago so I don't have to. I was really impressed by the end of this video regarding the significance of your journey. I'm keeping the flippant first comment, but needed to add the emotion felt by watching you along the way.

[@bronwynlind7561]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed your Camino II 😊 What shoes did you use and what was your foot care routine please?

[@foff9275]

Great video the two of you have a fantastic attitude. Bon camiño

Congratulations! I'm still a research pillgrin. Thank you for the tips!

We got food poisoning too. I had to laugh and said we clearly needed to purge before entering the pearly gates!😅

[@liloliloll]

We start our Portuguese Camino in August, beginning in Lisbon. We did the French in May/June 2022. 😊

[@MrRugbyprop1]

The fresh food, the wine, the beer, and the pasteis de nata - I know what you mean.

[@MarriageNFamilyAdvice]

Lol, I so deeply appreciate this videos truthfulness:))

[@3aroundtheworld]

Nice video, enjoyed it ! Would like to do this with better weather though 😅

[@GenkiCrabClub]

Hi. You seem to like pilgramage. How about the Shikoku 88 temple pilgramage, or Kumano Kodo pilgramage (in Japan)? ☺

[@schamber1000]

Was this in 2023 or 2024? I did the Frances in 2022 and had watched your 2021 journey. I have wanted to do this one ever since! I’ll have to send my suitcase ahead like I did on the Frances, so I’ll have to plan ahead. Thanks for the info on the towns you stayed in!❤

[@blackneon15]

Have you guys ever thought of going in the amazing race? I would love to hear your thoughts on that show!

[@johnbutler8998]

Had a great time watching your adventure through a second time. Looking forward to your next Camino (and my next Camino, too! 🤣)

[@FarmerLynneSaskatchewan]

Beautiful video! Loved it!

[@stevehupman7688]

Well done again Lisa and Josh. Is the VF on your radar? Lausanne to Rome is pretty special. Buen Camino!

[@killsa]

In regards to josh's fear of flying. I used to be deathly afraid of flying until i did my research on it and its one of the safest modes of transportation. Did you know you jave more chance of dying by a donkey than in an airplane? Honestly the thing that finally snapped me out of it was landing in Chicago through severe weather. Ever since then ive actually come to enjoy flying Anyway your journey is inspiring! This is on my bucket list but not sure im fit enough for it!!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

It is all about the good stuff "on the other side!" We leave in 42 days to start our next Camino. ❤🙌🏼

[@mc1114miller]

I love you guys! Just found you. ❤

[@asan1050]

Hey Lisa and Josh ! Thank you for posting.

[@anitamackowiak9360]

thank you for the inspiring film❤❤❤. pls write in which month you were?

[@robertalynch5433]

I went last year and I am going back next August.

[@amdelorey]

Congratulations! Really enjoyed this vlog. Trying to make a "next camino" decision. I walked the full CF last year and loved it. Next year I want to bring my wife but she can only do 1-2 weeks. My original plan was CF for 10 days somewhere in the middle. She loves architecture and farm fields. Do I forgo the Spanish towns and fields for the verklempt feeling of walking into Santiago. We live near the ocean and love it but maybe we won't appreciate it like you did. Aaaagh, any thoughts would be welcome! Your video made it harder! Glad you had so many sunny days on this one!

[@denright7907]

Hey you two, thanks for the great redo. Very informative. I do have a question. How do you deal with jetlag? With some ofyour shorter 3 day trips to Asia, what is your secret for not dragging your behind? Lol I would love to be able to quickly recover.

[@FabricFolk]

Love your camino videos, Ive started planning to walk it with my husband & our 10 year old, taking our time to enjoy it! Can I please ask, what trainers is Lisa wearing on this walk, they look comfortable with a nice wide toe box at the front?

[@LisaAndJosh]

it's these ones! :) amzn.to/3UsVa0T
