STEPS: Why People Walk the Camino de Santiago

People from around the world are taking weeks, to months, away from their lives to walk the length of Spain. I followed a variety of today's pilgrims to understand what's attracting them.

I need to go back. I miss that people connection...more now than ever with covid pandemic

[@jamesjohnston1297]

It's mad. During lockdown you meet less new people than ever, but on the Camino you'd have people from all over the world sharing their most vulnerable stories. Definitely miss it.

The Camino provides, trust.

[@rolandk.5720]

Very well done, thanks. I walked in July '19, it was an unexpected and impressing experience. Rectified some of my perceptions of life and changed perspectives. All in all I can recommend to walk the Camino francès!

I've never heard about this amazing walk many people take in there life. This sounds like a amazing adventure to get away from the busy lifestyle and unplug from the online work and soak up life on life term's. Thank you for this information and your wonderful documentary about this long walking journey in Spain.

The girl who said she didn't feel any different doing the Camino... Look at her face. She is so happy.

Thank you! Had a 10-minute time limit on this occasion so had to be pretty concise. Was magical and may upload the longer version another time.

These two ladies they would be better preparing for the Boston marathon. They have plenty of goals there. Camino and being a pilgrim is something completely different.

What's the age limit

[@jamesjohnston1297]

Hi, no age limit as far as I'm aware. I knew people walking at 13 and 80+ years-old.

[@JacquiHolding]

No age limit. I knew of a family with a baby in arms walking the Camino. And once met a group of three sisters walking with their 85-year-old father. I often wonder if they reached Santiago, and sincerely hope so. Use this isolating time to plan, explore the route, and read about other's experiences. Whether you do it in a few year's time, or in twenty year's time, if the Camino is calling you, nothing will stop you from getting there.
