[@jessicaoliviatravels]

Omg! My heart! The animal crossing, the sheep, donkey and dogs...and horse! Love, love it!

[@IllGetThere]

It was AMAZING!! 🥰🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@leatherandlace73]

I just checked online just to see how rustic El Pajar de Ocina is and man is it RUSTIC! It almost looks like a movie set!

[@kenpesek7254]

Great shot of the horse! Good eye!

[@sherryduffenais4815]

Love experiencing the Camino through your eyes or camera lol... please post the rest of your journey. Thank you for your sharing your Camino with us. Anxiously awaiting your next post from my little corner in Canada.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for following along! Next one should be up this weekend. I appreciate tire patience! 👣

[@KevinCraig1]

Loved this journey! Thank you. I hope the rest of the videos are coming soon! Can't wait to see the rest of the journey!

[@IllGetThere]

Next one should be up this weekend! Thank you for your patience and support! 👣

[@banitesscruz9771]

Meeting the shepherd and his sheep is wonderful (17:03) We had a similar experience on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France in April 2017. Your shot of the old man on the bridge (29:30) and the bridge at sunset (32:15) could be scenes from Monet. I would suggest you frame them and put them on your wall. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe. God bless!

[@notfromhere8809]

Awesome vid again. Love to see this little town when we do the Camino. And we will plan to take a zero in Leon. Thank you Rachelle!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! Sounds like a great idea! Buen Camino! 👣

[@FranLopezV]

I think the last shot is one of the best I've ever seen, and I think the city, would be proud to put it on a postcard. ¡Buen Camino!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much!! It really was beautiful.

[@jesusayucar4817]

Waiting for your new account so experiential of the stage between Leon and Hospital de Orbigo. Long and hard. But you can with everything. You continue to have an interest in the story and it is a pleasure to walk alongside you along the way. What a wonderful photo of the bridge at dusk! And the sunset will be extraordinary! Just for that and for other things, it is worth doing the Camino. Congratulations and Thanks.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for following along!

That place in Hospital did the best Sope de Trucha, a trout soup which was capped with a layer of bread on top of the soup. Simple, but so tasty. Can't wait for the rest of your trip!

[@IllGetThere]

Wish I could have tried that! Sounds delicious! Thank you for watching!

AT 24:10 - The Famous Long Bridge into Hospital De Orbigo.

Oh I love your Camino. I had just decided to walk the Camino frances this September but a very angry virus came to the world to harass us. So, now I have to wait. We are many future pilgrims who have to wait until the world is safe from COVID-19. Next year, in September, I will be 40 and now I think the Camino will be my birthdaygift from me to me 🥰 I am watching your videos with so much joy and feelings. Thank you so much ❤️

[@IllGetThere]

Yes!! What a wonderful gift to yourself!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos. I hope to have another by the end of the week. Stay safe and healthy and Buen Camino!! 👣

[@davidmendiola5828]

I am so glad you took the alternate route. The other way is mostly roadway and traffic. The alternate is scenic and peaceful. I have done both and will always do the alternate route when I do the camino again.

[@IllGetThere]

I’m glad I did, as well!! 😊👣

[@ctay122]

I was so happy to see you posted another episode for viewing. The same way I planned on walking to Hospital de Orbigo after a rest day in Leon via the alternate route AND I had reservations in the same municipal albergue (of course now cancelled).So after watching this, decided when I can walk (hopefully fall 2021) to skip the industrial section out of Leon and take the bus to Virgen del Camino and start from there, so thank you very much. 38 km will be too much for this 66 year old. Loved the part with the sheep and the beautiful bridge and sunset. Thank you so much for sharing! Hope you have some footage of the inside of the albergue next video. It was one of the ones I was looking forward to staying at.

[@IllGetThere]

The best thing I did was to remain open-minded about where the journey would take me! I had a loose plan, but clearly changed my mind and it turned out to be wonderful! I would advise the same-it’s good to have plan, but see how you feel and where your heart (and body) takes you. And Buen Camino!!! 👣

[@johnduncan9749]

Never disappointed when graced with a beautiful sunset and your choice of music to go with it really made it spectacular:) the lighting was perfect! Well done Rachelle!!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much, once again!!👣

[@brendachamberland7153]

Awesome video! I’ve been watching your whole series. We are hoping to walk the Camino when I retire in a few years. You sure can feel your enthusiasm and the beauty that surrounds you. Thank you and looking forward to your next one.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for watching! Next video hopefully later this week. How exciting to be planning for your Camino! I wish you all the best and Buen Camino! 👣

[@evertdyk]

How beautiful again! Muchos Gracias!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you!

[@ThePhantomMajor]

You did the right thing, green alternatives all the way for me!

[@IllGetThere]

Yes! 👣

[@teej4114]

It's really good to catch up with your excellent video coverage again. I did the Camino Frances too, last year. You were probably 10 days ahead of me, as I left SJPdP on September 21 and arrived Santiago on October 27. Then onward to Finisterre arriving October 31. It was a superb experience. A pity about the mainly wet weather in the last week but the sun shone for us the day we arrived in Santiago. Look forward, in this time of lockdown, to seeing your remaining videos.

[@IllGetThere]

Oh, wow! So happy to hear you had sunshine in Santiago! What a truly amazing experience. More videos to come, though I’m slow on the upload, lol. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!! 👣

[@philiptobin1540]

Thank you,and the final sunset is magic.

[@IllGetThere]

It truly was! Thanks for watching! 👣

[@wimh2o]

Thnx again. 38k Woow that’s good. Yes the sun set is beautiful. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! 👣

[@mashalemmash]

beautiful video....meravigliosi paesaggi, il signore sul ponte, il tramonto la luna ,tutto é poesia❤

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for your words! 👣

[@mashalemmash]

@@IllGetThere thank you for your video....are amazing😍

[@carmelobanados4339]

Very nice...your video brings back so many memories. I did the Camino Frances in May/June 2019. Glad you took the more scenic route and kudos for making it to Hospital de Orbigo! I took the northern route and stopped at San Martin del Camino to split the distance between Leon and Astorga. I made it to the albergue before it opened and could have gone on to Hospital de Orbigo. It was pretty brutal walking along the highway for so long. Would definitely do the more scenic route and try to make it to Hospital de Orbigo next time. Hope you took the more scenic northern route out of Hospital de Orbigo to Astorga. Buen Camino!

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad I took the route I did, though, I’m sure both were exhausting in their different ways, lol! Buen Camino! 👣

[@vernonprevatt-usmc]

So happy to see this video hit my notifications!

[@IllGetThere]

Thanks for watching!

[@francesplazabashark7148]

Hi Rachelle. You are awesome! Have been watching your journey and waiting for the next video. I'm planning of doing it next year in September. You reminded me, adding a fan to my packing list. A friend gave me one from the Philippines. Thank you:-).

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! The fam proved useful on a couple of occasions, so make sure you bring one you won’t mind parting with if you decide it’s not worth the weight. Buen Camino!! 👣

[@pozu1312]

The River Orbigo IS one of the most important in León province, this River goes from north to south and in his path they live 40%of the province population because of the high fertility of the soil, fun fact Suero de Quiñones lived in a Castle in the town of my grandparents(also in León, near La Bañeza)

[@SlogOnTheTyne]

looks like your having the time of your life!

[@IllGetThere]

Yes-you could say this is an understatement! It was the most wonderful experience. 👣

[@dltallan]

There are actually contemporary accounts of Suero de Quiñones jousts, making it one of the best documented tourneys of the middle ages.

[@IllGetThere]

Fascinating!! What a story. Thank you so much for following along! 👣

[@jJ-pq4tk]

Please more videos, their great

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for watching! More videos to come! 👣

[@PierooriginalItaly]

Wonderful video 👍

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you!

[@zippsy]

Two points: you finally stayed in an albergue where my wife & I stayed and you didn’t show it???? Ugh!!!! Pretty cool place though with all the artwork, eh? Also, I was just looking for the vlog with the walk out of Hospital de Orbrigo and I realized that I caught up to you. Now I’m in suspense!

[@IllGetThere]

Lol!! Well, I had every intention of doing a tour when I got in, but after such a long and exhausting day, the first order of business was a shower and nap. I had just enough time to explore the town and grab food, then by the time I got back, people were already in bed and it was getting dark! But I tried to get some footage the next morning! Stay tuned for very dimly lit pre-dawn clips of that wonderful albergue in the next video. I’m glad you got to experience its charm. 😊

[@hector7hernandez]

I loved the Aquarius too! I really want to walk My Camino again maybe in 2021 ,,,,, June Julie is hot but the light longer , and perhaps I have more time to talk to others Than you for share you Camino Greetings from Wisconsin

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you for watching! I hope to return one day, too, and hope you are able to make your Camino! 👣

[@miyagi1775]

Spaniards work to live, Americans live to work😊

[@IllGetThere]

Haha! Seems like it! Though I know a few Americans who may think they’re Spaniards, lol. 😄

[@miyagi1775]

@@IllGetThere Very true🤣 I saw that in Leon, we partied til 4AM. So I stayed an extra day just to rest my aging body😂 Til next video. Ingat🙏🏽
