Bravo a tous les 2. Et merci de partager votre chemin

[@johnbutler8998]

Haha, the Camino only begins once you've lost your sanity! The two peaks from Villaviciosa to Gijon are indeed big challenges.

[@ellieandsenci]

Haha right?! A couple of mental breakdowns are a part of the experience I’m sure… 😜 we definitely shot ourselves in the foot by having a big menu del dia lunch between the two inclines, too! Just can’t resist that Spanish chorizo… 😂

[@andreassarantidis5956]

Awesome couple . Never stop admire you.❤❤❤ You are the best ❤

[@ellieandsenci]

Andreas, YOU are the best! Thank you for being such a strong supporter through this amazing journey 💪🏼🤗❤️

You're bringing me back to some memories. I remember coming down that hill and eating at the same restaurant and having to climb up the 350m hill. Following my Alltrails, kept us on the road but at the top of the hill, we saw the actual trail joining the road. So somehow, we missed the trail at the bottom. We got into Gijon and had to take the taxi back to camping at Deva because we couldn't find a place in Gijon and in the morning took the bus back. Waiting for the bus, I stepped in a big hole, luckily never got hurt. Anyway I'm going to have to watch the rest of your videos to bring back more memories.

[@ellieandsenci]

Haha oh wow, that day must be cursed with bad luck for everyone!! 😂 just kidding, it was still a beautiful day, but certainly one of the more challenging ones. We’re so glad we can help you relive your own experience on the del Norte! Now that we’re done with this Camino, we will be doing the same as we edit and post more of our daily vlogs from the Norte (and we’ll have to start planning our next Camino of course! 😉)

Nice!❤❤❤

Hvala vam puno gda saric 😘❤️

[@stevetaylor6516]

Hope you guys enjoyed the zero in Gijon (awesone airbnb!), you totally earned it after doing that section while sick and with blisters! So much of it being on paved roads makes it even harder on the feet.

[@ellieandsenci]

Thanks so much! We definitely enjoyed the much needed zero & spent it on the couch watching Netflix 😂 agree 100%, we didn’t realize how much of the Norte would be paved and how much of a difference that would make for our feet! Thanks for following along ☺️

[@Andy-Mesa]

I was watching you all before I started my Camino del Norte on May 12, looking forward to what was ahead. I finished on June 10, and weeks later now I'm enjoying reliving the journey.

[@ellieandsenci]

Haha that is awesome!! We figured our videos would have 2 types of watchers: those who want to prepare for the Camino, and those that want to relive it! So cool that some people can even fall into both categories! Glad you’ve enjoyed, we’re really happy to have you here along the journey and hope it was helpful to you on your own trek ☺️

[@ellieandsenci]

Congrats on finishing as well! 🥳🥳

[@DavidSmith-lp5tz]

Question: is the road walking on Camino del Norte mostly country lanes or busy highways? I am enjoying your channel.

[@ellieandsenci]

You can expect both, we mentioned few areas we would skipp in our post Camino video if you would like more informations about that. Thank you so much, love having you with us!

[@kaytaslidzan7331]

Very,very beautiful ,gays be safe ❤️🍀

[@ellieandsenci]

Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗 we will!

[@Al_Pal..]

Thank you for showing us the hard days. Wow 800 metres elevation AND 30 kms walking with illness & blisters etc. Great effort guys. ❤ How was the extra day in Gijon?

[@ellieandsenci]

Yeah it was a tough one 😂 but we try not to sugarcoat things so that people are fully prepared for a huge journey like the Camino! Gijon is a great town, wish we were able to explore more of it but unfortunately we spent the rest day doing nothing but… resting 😂 next time I guess! 😆

[@merryblue7215]

can you share the airbnb?

[@ellieandsenci]

abnb.me/xrqd4DvKYAb does this link work? It is called “Airs of the Cantabrian” in Gijon!

[@merryblue7215]

@@ellieandsenci Yes!! thank you!!
