Walking The Camino Francés - The Adventure Of A Lifetime

Walking the Camino de Santiago is a transformative journey that transcends mere physical exertion; it's a profound odyssey of self-discovery and spiritual renewal. Each step along the ancient pilgrim route unveils a tapestry of breath-taking landscapes, from rugged mountains to sun-kissed vineyards, weaving a narrative of both personal introspection and communal camaraderie. Amidst the rhythmic cadence of footfalls and the serenity of quiet reflection, pilgrims from all walks of life converge, forging deep bonds and sharing stories beneath the vast expanse of a starlit Spanish sky. In this sacred pilgrimage, every blister, every ache, is imbued with meaning, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless beauty of the journey itself. This is my journey. I hope it inspires you to one day walk the Camino.

Thanks for sharing. I just got back from a 3 month camino, i started from home in Belgium, walked through France and then walked the camino Frances and continued to Muxia and Finisterre. I really enjoyed watching your video, took me back 🙂

I gotta say people go all “high tech” with the gear,clothes,walking poles etc and you walked the whole way i your jeans,two packs and a big stick you picked up along the way, you inspired me,thanks!

Doing it in jeans was a little naive but it worked for me. I hope you get to walk the Camino one day... jeans or no jeans.

One of the best Camino videos I’ve watched. 👏💙 I love the music and the very candid commentary. It makes me so excited for my own Camino journey next month.

Fantastic video. I’ll never be able to walk the Camino due to health, so I appreciate videos like yours. Great videography and for it being 10 years ago, fantastic “staging”! Buen Camino.

Maybe one day your health will improve and you can walk part of the Camino and experience it for yourself. Buen Camino :)

Impressive quality of photos and video, especially considering that it was recorded 10 years ago. Beautifully put together so that we really got the good "camino feeling". Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

mind-boggling how empty it was in 2014…. OK you walked pretty early but still. Nice movie thank you!

Thanks for the comment. Generally those months just before and after winter are not as crowded especially before Sarria. I walked in January one time a few years back and there was hardly anyone on the Camino that time of year but lots of rain!

Absolutely wonderful photography. I'll be 80 this year, so I'll never be able to go myself. Thank you for allowing me to go with you

Hi Dean, what time of the year did you walk? Presume it was early with snow on the hills, but was there any issues with restaurants and albergees being closed, you mentioned very small numbers on it so am curious does that translate into less options for food & accom. Hoping to walk it this autumn or next spring. Thanks

I started on the 1st of April which I believe is the official start of the season in Saint Jean. No problems with accommodation this time of year although this is 10 years ago so maybe things have changed, especially in the summer months. Autumn or spring are definitely the better months to walk although I have walked in winter and found it just as enjoyable.

What time of year did you walk, love your video Thanks

I started on the 1st of April until May 8th. I would recommend anytime before June if you don't want crowds and the heat and September or October for later in the year. I also walked in winter one time (January/February) and enjoyed it although there was a fair bit of rain about.
