Your comments regarding drunk as and thoughtless pilgrims is exactly! Why I'm starting March 15th leap frogging Jean- Port to Rocesvalle. And why I intend to tent for peace and quiet. That's my plan as I'm as very active California wilderness back packer even at 64. Job well done sir.

Many thanks for your work in producing these comprehensive and realistic videos, I completed the Frances in 2005 and then 2007 - eke information you have given in showing how things have - and have not. changed in that time has spurred me to make a third and final Camino over the next few years - in the past I have finished in Santiago - but now I need to walk to the sea......

[@PeterPeter-rj7se]

Have throughly enjoyed all 6 well put together video's, that allowed me to recognise the places & relive my walk in 2016. You capture the scenery as well as the moods which showed the good days and the not so good days, because it can be hard sometimes when you are tired and especially when the weather is not so favourable(I did mine in the spring, with snow on the first day going up that elevation from St.Jean Pied de port to Roncesvalles, then with the cold and occasional rain during the rest). Thank you for your efforts in the making of the video's that enabled me to reminisce and allowed us viewers to show our families what we achieved.

We really enjoyed your journey. You inspire us to enjoy this experience as well. We wanted to comment on a shoes that really worked well for us and we always think of you: Keen Targhee III or Keen Ridgeflex. It’s wide, has great heel support and is waterproof, light and breathable. Costs about 150€ and the company is eco-friendly. My wife used it on her last Camino and I use it everyday myself. It’s really comfortable and we definitely recommend it for your next journey!

Hello fast hiker, last Friday my Camilla and I arrived in SDC, starting from SJPP. We would like to thank you for the advise given, which helped us to plan this amazing adventure the way we wanted it to be. The Meseta was not as 'bad' as we expected it to be, just very very hot. 😅. We have some days off now, before we go back home. We have made many new friends along the way, which has made this Camino as special as the others. After 3 years of Camino it is time for a break....or not. We will see. Greetings to your lovely Camilla and yourself. Buen Camino!!

[@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker]

Wow, Camilla and I are so happy that we were able to help you and that you are writing to us and telling us about your trip. And I think you have the Camino in your blood now 😃☀️🌻 we also plan to go back to Spain in 2024. Ultreia Peregrino

[@HoganFantastic4]

I watched all 6 videos. I hope I can have my own camino, preferably in coming May but this is a serious undertaking. I think the boxes with reflectors (46:43) are lamps. The reflector is for reflecting the light from the bulb at the top of the box. Thank you for the videos!

I have had a program to do the Camino before Coronavirus has hits the world, and unfortunately, after that I have had a heathy issues but now I’m ready to do it. I would like an answer from you please …. It’s the Camino save for a woman walking alone? Thanks for now.

[@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker]

Hi 👋🏻 when I walked I have met a lot of women, in different ages, that walked alone. I think that you should be “normally” carful when walking through parts that can feel unsafe, you can walk together with others during those parts. And if you avoid walking in late evening and in dark I think you will feel safe.

[@isabeldejesussilva2319]

Thank you very much, it’s helping me a lot because I was a little concerned about that

[@isabelcastillo2394]

Good video. Thank you. Question-are there bathrooms at these restaurants along the way? Do they prefer cash or can I use credit card? I like the music in your video. Thanks!

[@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker]

Thanks 😃🙏☀️ There are toilets at most cafes and restaurants, but sometimes toilet paper is missing, so it might be good to have some toilet paper with you. Most cafes, restaurants and hostels take cards as payment, but in the smaller villages they prefer cash, but it is enough to have a small amount with you. There are also many ATMs along the way. 🚶🏼‍♂️☀️🌺
