[@taliwalters7757]

Thanks!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Oh man, you guys are the best.

[@eddavis1832]

Having hiked several thousand miles myself over the past ten years, I’m still in the habit of placing my phone in a ziplock baggie before I put it in my trouser pocket. Dorky, but I’ve never had a lint or dirt issue. Thanks for sharing your trip with us…Cheers!!!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

They sell a small plug that takes care of this issue, but honestly, this is the first time this happens.

[@jameszumwalt3660]

I love your musical selection.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Awesome. I'll keep it along this line.

[@carolinacadabra8278]

Fabulous cinematography, fabulous storytelling!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it. It makes carrying all that gear worth it in the end.

[@erinmh]

Was in Arles earlier this year and saw a few shells on lamp posts and remembered oh yeah..a camino starts here! Having already walked Le Puy to Santiago, Arles is now on my list of routes. Welcome back, glad to see you back in Spain!

[@helenvwalker7919]

We just did Sevilla to Merida in May and there were hardly any pilgrims. We saw far fewer walkers than you did. Enjoying this series

[@taliwalters7757]

So excited to "join" you on this next Camino! I've missed good quality Camino dreaming!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Welcome aboard

[@BertramLai]

Great to have your enthusiasm and excitement and back on the Camino Efren. I just came back from 10 days on the via Podiensis with my 13-year old son - life changing for him (hopefully) and great bonding for me. All thanks to you for making me aware of the Le Puy option.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

That's incredible. My son will join me too on his first camino next summer.

[@Onechance2345]

You must have the toughest feet in all the world..hahaha. The enthusiasm is contagious ☺️.

[@JustBob5150]

I have followed your video's for years and they have gotten better and better with time, but this one is by far your best one yet. The aerials are good, but the music on this one really was head and shoulders above all your others.......

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you so much. Practice makes perfect 👌

[@alanharvey1448]

Stunning scenery and photography.

[@TheAnactoria]

Yay!!! 🎉❤ Soooo excited for this one!! Off to a great start!

[@apinanraivo100]

Starting this series. Looking forward to it!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you so much for the trail magic

[@johnbutler8998]

Great choice of music given the Via de la Plata landscape! Looking forward to tagging along on your adventure.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Welcome aboard!

[@helenebergsten707]

Love your enthusiasm! Great vlog as usual.

[@MadisValja]

I started the VdlP during sunset. Lovely to see your aerial drone shots of how things look like during daytime.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

You walked at night?

[@MadisValja]

@@Walk_with_Efren I arrived at 7pm in Sevilla airport. Caught a taxi and started hiking ASAP. Was fun!

[@Magooej22]

The Via de la Plata looks interesting but daunting with little support on stretches. Buen camino Efren

[@Walk_with_Efren]

It wasn't as bad as I thought or heard. You make yourself a sandwich for lunch the night before, and you are ready to go. As for the distances, you have the option to do either 15 km days or 35 km days 😆

[@itsmejp24]

We were on the same two flights on the same day! Saludos desde Hialeah! Big fans here.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

wow that's something else

[@grahamwallace]

Looking forward to following this one. I was surprised and delighted to meet you on May 1st in the forest on the Frances between San Juan de Ortega and Belorado. You cheered up this Scotsman on a very cold morning 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Buen Camino! p.s. totally forgot to get a selfie with you 🤣

[@Walk_with_Efren]

It was nice meeting you as well. Here is the picture I took. facebook.com/share/p/bWThzV8Tjdq1JxBJ/?mibextid=xfxF2i

[@grahamwallace]

@@Walk_with_Efren Than you 😀

[@petitmalin64]

Thanks

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you so much my friend 🧡

[@jcd3072]

Welcome Back !!!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

You are too awesome. Thanks for the trail magic.

[@michelemoran3267]

Im very interested in this camino and your viewpoint. Youre an authentic pilgrim. Miki Goldie

[@Walk_with_Efren]

thank you so much. stay put we got a lot of ground to cover.

[@mike.garnham]

Great to see you back. Where’s that hat from?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

It's a fishing hat. You can find it on my gear list, link in the video's description.

[@CraigandJoan]

Thank you for all the great videos. Question: How can you spend so much time in the Schengen?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you. I can only spend 3 months in a 6 month period like everyone else.

[@TheProfessorandHerPassport]

Great video as always. What was the name of the hotel you stayed in at Sevilla?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you. It's in the video's description.

[@TheProfessorandHerPassport]

@@Walk_with_Efren thanks. Missed it. Will be doing the Portuguese again next May but have started researching the Via de La Plata. Just don’t want to do it in summer!

[@speedendurance]

That's a lot of gear you're carrying. Fully loaded, with food water, how much weight is it?

[@Walk_with_Efren]

It is a lot of weight, but I had it perfectly balanced, so I didn't feel any stress on my body. I made it all the way to sjpdp without injuries and no blisters.

[@leocheng8107]

Hi efren!my name is Leo.l am enjoy u video and l have some questions ,the first is which month u are go to Camino norte? Second is for the accommodation to alberque is open? Thanks!

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Thank you. I did del Norte in April 2019, and yes, the albergues were open

[@BENBEN-ft8xg]

BONJOUR EFREN, CAN YOU TELL THE DATE YOU WILL START YOUR JOURNEY FROM ARLES ? THANK YOU SO MUCH !

[@Walk_with_Efren]

I changed my plans and decided to continue on to Rome after I reached Santiago. I made it all the way to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and will continue in September of this year. I will do the Arles csmino sometime in the next couple of years

[@grahamwallace]

For a coffee.

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Gracias.

[@contrerassev]

La vía de la plata va a gijón no a Santiago

[@Walk_with_Efren]

Es cierto, pero la gran mayoría de peregrinos toman el camino de Sanabrés hacia Santiago. yo ya hice el camino de San Salvador asi que solo me quedaria los dias des de Granja de Moreruela hasta Astorga
