My CAMINO PRIMITIVO, hiking 320 km in Northern Spain 🇪🇸 Part Six 🇪🇸 Camino de Santiago

[@TrailguidePictures]

If you're planning on walking the Camino then I'd like to recommend the Camino Journal. It's a useful journal for walking the Camino de Santiago includes Camino Information, Spanish Phrase Book and Blank Lined Notebook and is available on Amazon here: amzn.to/40NGrhp

Love how picturesque this section of the hike is. The old architecture and cobblestone roads are very charming. Glad to see some Spanish trail angels, those cherries looked soo good!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Yeah, it was a very nice experience to be greeted like that along the way.

[@OldSoulPammy]

Just Being in the Now IS the profound answer. Take care, love watching your journey. ☮🤍😎

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Thanks again, Jason. I'm really enjoying this trip. 👍🙂

[@TrailguidePictures]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching Brian

[@sabineconrath3157]

Jason, watching your video puts you right back on the Camino! I noticed that you were also in the Mendez in Lugo, like Ernst, myself, Alice, Konrad😄 And yes, the three of us were very happy and relieved that you made it to the A Nave hostel🤗 Your videos are a highlight! Thanks for that!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Oh, I didn't realize you stayed at the Mendez. It was a nice hotel, very nice restaurant. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It's always great to hear from you again.

[@rickemmet1104]

Lugo is stunning! I would have done my rest day here and explored the city a bit. The architecture is amazing. Also, I just love all these towns and cities with roads so narrow you hardly have a car in sight. Nice place to go for a walk! Por practicar... Lugo es pasmoso! Habría hecho mi día de descanso aquí y exploré un poco la ciudad. La arquitectura es asombrosa. Además, me encantan todos estos pueblos y ciudades con carreteras tan estrechas que casi no tienes un coche a la vista. ¡Bonito lugar para ir de paseo!

[@cindyk3076]

More natural beauty and wonderful architecture along the way. I admire your spirit of not giving up, especially due to your toe issue and I appreciate you hiking the Camino and sharing it with us, I don't have the funds to go to Spain so it's nice that you bring Spain to us. Thanks.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you very much!

[@ervinslens]

Wow I'm so stunned about this video! Awesome job bud, views are simply stunning.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks for watching

[@Test-uj6nh]

From what I see those shoes are probably overkill for that terrain. A more comfortable trail shoe as opposed to a boot may have assisted you. I also sometimes swap into a type of sandle when blisters are an issue.

[@TrailguidePictures]

They are shoes, not boots.

[@hrmacdonald4471]

Have you met any other Canadians walking the Camino...you need a Canadian symbol sewn onto your backpack. Another excellent video...you show a lot of strength in walking thru the pain and discomfort. When I get lazy at the walking track today, I will think about what you are going through, that will keep things in perspective for me...lol. Looking forward to your next Camino video....thanks again & stay safe!

[@TrailguidePictures]

I met one other Canadian briefly. He was from Montreal. Chatted with him for a while at a pub at the end of the day in Tineo and it was the last I saw of him. Thanks

[@gwynjones7801]

Another good one Jason!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you! 🙂

[@MB_07]

Hello Jason I am enjoying your walk and seeing all the beautiful scenery. I like seeing all the old buildings and stone work in the area. Hope the toe holds up. !! Got to buy a thermos and fill it with coffee Cheers

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks 👍 Not a bad idea with the thermos 😂

[@CharlesTersteeg]

The journey is the destination.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Definitely true in this case.

[@optimisticgal]

Great viewing and thanks for sharing thoughts and pain. I keep willing you on, although I know you did it!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks 😊

[@pounceonyou1958]

Well done Jason.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks

[@annelandon7889]

I have been waiting to see the next installment. Oh my, all I can think of is ……salt salt salt. But I guess you must have worked your way through your pain already. I am hooked. You must have survived, as I have just watched you climb some craggy rocks in N Wales with Simon, Bloke in Woods and beer in hand.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hi, yes I survived. 🙂 The hike with Simon was a couple weeks later.

[@virginiamorris92]

I would’ve liked to see more shots of the food there since I’m a foodie type.

[@TrailguidePictures]

The food was not very good for the most part

[@virginiamorris92]

@@TrailguidePictures yeah if the food sucks I will definitely not be taking the primitive way when I go. Thank you for that detail.

[@rodthemod7]

Great video Jason , soon to go myself. Can I ask what time of the year did you decide to walk this particular route ?

[@TrailguidePictures]

End of May, start of June. Good luck

[@kevinseversonandhisvizslas8287]

muy bien!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Gracias

[@DanielOutdoors]

Great man! I will be doing same next year :)

[@TrailguidePictures]

Best of luck!

Loads of eucalyptus trees on Portuguese camino especially in final section. Use lot of water,

[@joef.9930]

Hello Jason, I am enjoying your Camino series. Just a couple of questions: 1. How much does your backpack weigh? 2. What is your impression of Spain when comparing with Mexico? (Would pick Spain over Mexico to relocate to?)

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hi. 1. Not sure. 2. Both are beautiful countries with positive and negative points. I didn't really "live" in Spain so it's hard to make a comparison. Spain is safer than Mexico. Mexico has better beaches.

[@valyd45]

As soon as I saw that your video dropped, I was on it! I was feeling your pain and only pure will makes you finish. I would say your energy was a mix of caffeine, adrenaline and of course good food. It is completely understandable to be fatigued. Was the last stop the end? Don’t want you to give anything away but it kinda seemed like it. I enjoyed your stops, when we get to see you finally get a bed to sleep in. Looking forward to where the next video has you going. Take care wherever you are👏🏻😎

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you. No, not the end of the walk. I still had a few days left. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.

[@valyd45]

@@TrailguidePictures Con mucho gusto, amigo!

[@pikijakob1]

I hope you went around the city walls in Lugo?. Have you been to cathedral? Such a magnificent city it is.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Only a little and no. In fact Lugo is one of the cities that I wish I had more time to explore. I would plan and recommend to people if possible have an extra day in Lugo.

[@michelemoran3267]

I knew that was an Akubra! Do you use gel insoles ....they're good for the knees...love

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hi, no I don’t use gel insoles.

Guay, guay, guay 🙃🙂 🤘🤩🤘

[@shimon1166]

Hi..Is there any issues with Covid now on the Camino?

[@TrailguidePictures]

Well, there's zero social distancing in the albergues and you will be staying in rooms with 5+ different people every night (sometimes over 20 people), shared bathrooms and toilets. Very few people are wearing masks. I would say the likelihood of being in contact with someone who has signs or symptoms of covid are high.

[@johnmclean2254]

I sure wish you would show us more besides the walking. You got to Lugo but we didn't see where you went out, where you ate, what you ate, who you've met along the way.

[@TrailguidePictures]

John, you're probably one of those guys who would leave a comment saying I spent too much time filming where I went out, where I ate, what I ate, who I met along the way... and not enough of the walking.

[@johnmclean2254]

@@TrailguidePictures I'm sure there are many opinions. Some like the straight walking videos while others like to see the other stuff. It's personal preference. Just my opinion.

[@TrailguidePictures]

@@johnmclean2254 I understand what you're saying, too much walking in my video about my walk.

[@churra8257]

Do the places you stay at have food coffee breakfast dinner at all?? I want to do the primitivo but the sacristy of food scares me!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Some do and some don't, those that do usually only during specific hours and many of those it is a simple snack more than a breakfast. The same can be said for some towns. At the end of day three I arrived in La Espina (on a Sunday). Everything was closed except the local bar and they didn't offer any meals until after 7 pm with a limited menu.

[@hansvetter8653]

What's the sense to put so much pain onto to your body?!? ...

[@TrailguidePictures]

There are a lot of different thoughts on this. It's worth researching but in one brief answer. It's for personal growth.

[@hansvetter8653]

@@TrailguidePictures ... I am suffering actually from a broken bone in my left hand. The operation went good, but because of my age (+60) my muscles of the whole body are weak now, because I couldn't do my daily exercises for 4 month now. Now I have to recover and I am planning to do again daily exercises for my whole body (slow stretching & light muscle training) for the rest of my life. BUT I will ask only so much from my body that I can stay always free of pain ...
