I love reliving this camino through your videos. I enjoyed that hotel. I think I had the same room! The VDLP was so magical. Thank you for taking us along.

My pleasure. Try, camino invierno

Thanks for the Trail Angel acknowledgement. Really made my Day. Hope all is well.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

No, thank you for all the trail magic you constantly send me. It really means a lot to me.

Dogs are one of my biggest concerns on this Camino. They're not as used to pilgrims as the sheep dogs are on other Caminos, and I see people post about getting bitten. Freaks me out! Another great video! Looking forward to using your GPS tracks when I do this route. 😄

[@Walk_with_Efren]

If you go in a group, the chances of getting bit would be less, but don't worry about it too much they can sense fear, and that's when they nite. Stand your ground and use your walking sticks.

I think I started about two weeks after you from Seville. Cant wait until the middle of your second week, when the real big rain hit for a week straight. I had to jump over water on the trail all day long some days 😅

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Yeap, it's coming

[@endacullen1]

Hi and thanks for your very informative uploads. May I ask when you started from Seville? I start on March 26th. Looking forward to it!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

@endacullen1 I started on February 29th. You can find the dates on the video’s description

Loving the first 5 Via de la plata vlogs , just wondering how often new vids are uploaded

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I'm editing the Shikoku, the via de la Plata, and the Frances backwards simultaneously. Usually one vlog of each prr week

[@helenebergsten707]

During most of the previous Caminos you have been quite lucky with the weather? Maybe this is the exception. I assume adaptation is a way to survive, also on the Camino. The landscape still looks wonderful. I love the open views. I know many don't but I fell free in such environments. As if I can just take off and lift into the air.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

You are correct. this was the wettest camino. It got worst in Galicia but I had better luck on the camino Frances in reverse.

How much do all your electronics weigh?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

About half the total weight i carry. In this case, 15 lbs
