My CAMINO PRIMITIVO, hiking 320 km in Northern Spain 🇪🇸 Part Two 🇪🇸 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

I am a woman of 74 starting the Primativo in June with my son. It will be my 8th Camino. You have a lot of Caminos in your future! I started at 60.

Captivating. Never imagined spending 40 minutes watching a 49 year old dude walking along a trail! Can't wait to watch the next one.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Lovely mate! Thoroughly enjoying the trail, thank you for taking us along! I hope the toe heals up as you progress 🍻

[@TrailguidePictures]

Oh man, it gets so much worse 😂

[@OldSoulPammy]

Excellent piece of your journey. And especially on this video, the tranquil ambient noise was great, I think you could make a sound track just from that. The melodious sounds of the cow bells, the horse crunching his feed, birds singing, rooster crowing, water flowing, wind blowing, church choir singing, and the light but steady percussion from the soft crunch of footsteps on the path. Keep it up and age is just a number. I'm 64 and still often feel like 30 in my head (just a whole lot smarter 😁). And never pass up the opportunity to do what you really want, do it now. ☮️❤️❤️❤️😎

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks. Yeah I try to get a bit of f the sound recorded as I go. Tough on this hike with limited equipment (no mic) but there were some nice sounds these days.

Unfortunately, this week, Andy Jensen, programmer for the Camino Ninja App died in Leon at the age of 49y. He was well loved for his app and did around 8000 klms of caminos to keep these routes updated. R.I.P. pilgrim. Love Miki Goldie

So many gorgeous landscapes and wonderful bird song! The windmill farm is awesome to see. Turning 50 is no big deal.

granary/silo I'm very happy to learn these two words today. I saw them many times on Camino Portugal. Thanks

[@leokaloper4132]

when I saw it in the video, it immediately reminded me of our local granary in Serbia type. Just put ambar and search images, you'll see the similarity.

[@chiarakecil8221]

Hi Jason, Thank you for sharing your Primitivo videos. It's really helpful, especially for the preparation of my own Primitivo. Much appreciated 😊

[@danbradley1137]

A friend of mine did the camino several years ago and made me want to do it. You are inspiring me. Penciling it in for 2025.

[@TrailguidePictures]

It's a great experience and worth the effort if you can afford the cost and time to do it.

[@gwynjones7801]

Well done and thank you Jason! The best show on any screen right now. Really enjoying it.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you, glad you’re enjoying it

[@hrmacdonald4471]

Great video Jason...your video's are very informative and entertaining. Thank you for all the hard work and commitment you put into each video. This video is a little longer than most of your other video's, but thats a bonus, because I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks again & stay safe!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks, I want to show a couple days in each Camino video. I hope they’re not too long.

[@hrmacdonald4471]

@@TrailguidePictures ...Not too long at all. Sixty minutes wouldn't be too long...great content!

Glad to see you enjoying the social aspect of the Camino. 👍🏻

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks. Yeah, I learned that the social aspect of the Camino is a big part of the experience.

[@mikebrown9906]

Hi Jason. Really enjoying this series that I've only just found, thanks to the link through from Simon ABITW. Thank you for sharing your Camino. I've been thinking about doing it myself, so the info is all really helpful. It's a good mix of gorgeous scenery, and your experience of the trail. And your last comment about using the Spanish that you've got and not being overly critical is 100% right. Keep going! Suerte! (Good luck!)

[@TrailguidePictures]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ervinslens]

Really loved the whole film mate, thank you so much for the huge amount of time and effort it must have taken.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you

[@savino160109]

Muchas gracias por compartir tus experiencias en tu camino primitivo. En algún momento de mi vida estoy seguro que lo haré. Buen camino amigo!!!!

[@TrailguidePictures]

De nada, con gusto.

[@michaelthatcher3825]

Last year I walked the Primitivo, but have also walked the Portuguese, Anglais and 823 kl. long del Norte to Finisterre. Wonderful experiences all of them. However, on route, you cannot help to notice that the horses are free, the sheep are free, the cattle are free, the cats are free but, sadly, in the main, the dogs are chained up or kept in cages. Apparently, their barking keeps the property safe. The only real negative observation I can make really. Will try the 1,004 kilometre long De la Plata next April/May.

Los perros se escapan y pueden ser atropellados por un coche😊 por eso se atan estando la carretera tan cerca.😊

[@joeperdomo9214]

WOW!!!

[@michaelthatcher3825]

@@joeperdomo9214 Have you checked the Cami da Cavills which is a 2 x week walk around the Island of Menorca. I have booked to complete this in March. Can be a bit pricy though as everything is organised for you. They have a great web site. Regards to you.

[@rodrigodiazdevivar6572]

Better than german television. Becoming 50 is hard, hermano. But becoming 100 is harder 😉

No se preocupe si se pierde, en España, no hay grizlys, pero en Asturias hay osos pardos. 😂😂❤ Felicito por los vídeos, bellos y tranquilos .😊

[@sabineconrath3157]

The second part is also a grandiose summary of this incredible landscape. Please don't think too much about turning 50, you can see from Ernst that you still have at least 33 years ahead of you to explore the world and make a pilgrimage 😉

[@TrailguidePictures]

I can only hope to have another 33 years and he is definitely an inspiration. A very strong man.

[@santiago-martin]

Enjoying your videos on the Camino, going through them one by one. I walked the Primitivo at about the same time, I might have started a few days before you. I also filmed the whole trip and put together some KZbin videos documenting it so I enjoy seeing your version of the Camino. This was my first time and I hope to do it again next year. Buen Camino!

[@TrailguidePictures]

That’s great! I guess you enjoyed it.

[@johnbutler8998]

Thanks for doing these videos. Trying to decide whether to stay on the Norte the entire way or branch off to the Primitivo for my Camino in Sep-Oct. Looking forward to the next ones!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Glad you like them! That's a tough call. I was originally planning to do the Camino del Norte. Haven't done it, I don't have anything to add to your decision other than I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the Primitivo. I'll return and do the Norte one day. I think if I found it too busy or not interesting enough, then I'd probably head back to the Primitivo.

[@johnbutler8998]

@@TrailguidePictures What happened in the last part of the Primitivo? Just the shock of joining the Frances? (No worries if you don't want to answer until your videos are further along!)

[@TrailguidePictures]

@@johnbutler8998 Yeah, can’t spoil the ending

[@AMeirama-se2jv]

Hey John, I did Camino del Norte in late September 2017. It was great, did not have reservations and that was not a problem at all. The weather was great and the best part was the solitude , NO ONE THERE!!!!@@johnbutler8998

[@Littlelittlesmom]

I’ve walked twice. I never paid attention to the way markers. I always looked for arrows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Littlelittlesmom]

Also, you are seriously making me want to walk this route next!!!

Interesting.

The ruin in 15.45 is a water mill. The farmers used them to grind corn, spelt etc.

Hey Jason love your videos. The wife and I moved out of Miami Florida and living in Seville Spain for little over a year now. We're getting ready to do the Primitivo in May 2024. What month did you do your Primitivo in? The weather looked really nice. Thank you again for your very informative videos!!! informative informative

[@TrailguidePictures]

I believe it was in early June. I had a canoe trip in Canada in May

[@deano7643]

To assist with pain in your toes going downhill, make sure your toenails are kept cut very short. I really notice a difference if I don't.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Yeah definitely. I do that diligently now after losing a couple toe nails a few years back while out an a long hike. Thanks for sharing

[@joanpjlee]

what month did you do this route? thanks!

[@gailerart3792]

Which month did you walk or are you walking now? I am hoping to walk next May. Great videos!

[@TrailguidePictures]

I started at the end of May and walked into mid June. I think it was a great time of year.

[@pnunezaguila]

When I did the camino the worst part was the first days dealing with the blisters, made me very unhappy.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Blisters are sometimes difficult to deal with for sure.
