Just came back from el norte and those albuergues at Gondán and San Xusto are still closed.

[@justbob4731]

Crossing into Galicia felt like coming home...

[@Walk_with_Efren]

every time

[@gjbs55]

Galicia. Pulpo!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

the best

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

Good video, and yes walking the Camino is far more interesting than sitting in an albergue on the Camino, lol. That mad dash to albergues you encounter on the Frances can be quite puzzling. Puzzling in the sense of, why? I now carry a lightweight ground pad. The best lightweight one for the money. I carry it simply for piece of mind in knowing that no matter what I will have something to sleep on for the night. I can walk as they say, in a relaxed manner. Pretty much every village you encounter will have a covered area (church's etc) to sleep under if there's no room at the inn. That piece of mind is well worth that tad bit of extra weight, and guess what, I've never had to use it. Even on the Frances at its busiest, I always found a bed. I'll continue to carry it when I can walk the Camino again, God willing. cheers and ultreia

words of wisdom

[@michaelthatcher3825]

Efren, so glad you stopped in at the famous Tentempe Cafe at the top of the penultimate hill. The ladies there who run it were so friendly and helpful and found me (really great) accommodation in Lourenza. I also sampled a local craft beer at their cafe which was expensive at 3 euros but well worth it!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

yes they were. they told me about the albergue as well and what to expect for the remaining of the stage.

[@gjbs55]

Fantastic!

[@maragenerico8376]

Good views. It´s so refreshing when we meet fine people to help with info on the camino. Shame that´s not always unfortunately.

[@salvatoregranata7878]

Galicia is always amazing countryside and the view leaving Ribadeo looks very nice. Thinking upgrading my agenda next year after seeing past Gijon.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

You should! but wait until you see the camino Ingles which is only 5 days

[@pauljones5066]

“The road is always better than the inn.” ― Cervantes I have watched all of these vlogs and love them, thanks

[@Walk_with_Efren]

excellent quote 👍🏻

[@eleonorma]

Ahhhh Galicia, la tierra de mi abuela!!!! Betanzos, andaras por ahi en el Ingles! Me encanta el nombre del bar "Tentempe" Love your trip!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

hola Elenor. me quede en Betanzos el segundo dia del camino Inglés.

[@geraldinehadiwidjaja7421]

Man oh man, what an interesting day. And the yellow flower is back. Enjoyed your vlog as usual Efrén. Yes....got to feed the starving peregrino🙂

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Glad you enjoyed it my friend

[@ThePhantomMajor]

What the xxxx.... I've subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now, and now I'm stopped from viewing some of your previous videos as I'm not a "member". And I contributed to your Francigena pot....... ??

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I'm sorry you feel that way but the old model simply wasn't working, at least not for me. Editing from sunrise to sunset, weekends and all, taking months away from my family, investing in expensive gear, software subscriptions, website hosting, and music libraries. All this on a few donations and google adsense that would bring in less than $100 a month was simply unsustainable. The alternative was to shutters this down and move on to something else. $10 a month for access to hundreds of vlogs doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I hope you understand.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

it is still free for those who stay up to date with the latest releases.

[@wpwren]

@@Walk_with_Efren How long do we have to view the latest releases before they become for members only?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

a few weeks. I haven't determined that yet.

[@wpwren]

@@Walk_with_Efren But you just released Vlogs 27-32 and they are blocked already.

[@orion2250]

[@orion2250]

[@Walk_with_Efren]

glad to hear you are onboard.

[@orion2250]

@@Walk_with_Efren i am using a phantom 3 for stuff around the yard, looking to upgrade to a mavic soon, the portability,battery life and imaging are better. Whenever i get to Spain, it will be in the heavy pack because i will also have my dslr and 3 lenses... Helecopters sound awesome to hang out of,about 15 years ago😄

[@Walk_with_Efren]

the newly released dji mavic air 2 is compact and battery life is around 30. two of them and you should be good for the day.
