You can also look at my GPS tracks on Wikiloc. Not exactly by the book. But you won't miss Romita di Cesi. And this was one of the best experiences on all my caminos ever (sadly you won't meet fra Bernardino though).
I believe my way was quite nicely put together. Assisi - Trevi (you can split...
Hi Jan, I ve'been wondering whether I should answer or not, but here I am. I walked both of them. Or even all three of them. Primitivo, San Salvador, and Sanabres.
In my personal difficulty scale, they are comparable. Every time I read opinions about a specific stage or camino here, on the...
Sorry for the quality and for the format inconsistency between days!It improves in the next parts as I used one app consistently.This is only a quick version...
Hi All,
I have just finished (8th June) Camino Fonseca (VdlP/Sanabres from Salamanca) and would like to share my videos - souvenirs from the Camino.
I was making them daily, on the way, and now I compiled them into 4 parts, 5 days each part. It is about 3 min per day.
A playlist is called...
Not quite get what you mean.
Still the same Camino though, never mind the personal motivation.
Vow or not vow it has nothing to do with the certificate or how you are treated. Pilgrim = pilgrim.
And how would you know if that "simple" pilgrim didn't make his vow as well. And on the other...
We saw him and the whole circus around him on Praza Obradoiro when he wanted to get to albergue Parador.
No clue who he was then.
On the same day when some got a special certificate some others were not allowed to get Compostella because appatently the credential was not "official"... (not me...
Hi there, really nice blog :)
I am going to start in Salamanca in 4 weeks and I would be grateful if you could tell me if there are any blankets in albergues. I wouldn't like to carry my sleeping bag, only the liner. But now when you say cold in the night I might reconsider. Unless there are...
Haha, what a thread! I wonder what Barbara is going to answer you Anita 🤔
Chances are she will though. Like the last time to the similar response. Four years ago.... with a three years gap already....
🙃😉
Hi Gwenda,
It is a physically demanding camino. But maybe my view is a bit distorted by the extreme heat that we experienced in August. Anyway, lot of uphills/downhills Maybe not on the first two, three days though. My videos have wikiloc links in their description, you can see the altitude...
Hi All interested in Cammino di San Benedetto :)
I have just managed to finish the playlist of 15 short videos. One for each day.
There is 16 official stages but at some point we made 3 stages in 2 days.
I must add that we had incredibly high temperatures in August (heatwave Lucifer in...
That is going to be one amazing video with go pro quality and your son drone shots. Can't wait to watch it. Thinking about go pro, yet I have no clue where to look at. Any suggestions for the newbie?
Gites - cash. And since you eat there mostly - then cash. Not too many shops on the way. Some...
Dear All, thank you so much for your encouraging words. I was afraid that in fact my lack of experience and the primitive tools I was using for filming and editing made this project unbearable sometimes (shaky passages, too many pictures). But I learn from my mistakes and getting such a...
Hi Keith, thank you so much for such nice words.
At the time of the Camino I had no clue when and how I would be using the videos and photos taken there. I was always rather photo person. So obviously I made a lot of mistakes. I had no camera, only my telephone Samsung S7. And I was using just...
Hi All.
Winter is coming and I have just managed to finish a video summary of my Le Puy Camino walked in September 2019.
Le Puy to Cahors Section with Valle Cele variant. I tried to keep it short and dynamic. It is a series of videos of around 5min each.
I hope you can just get an idea how the...
So, I have just finished Cammino di San Benedetto in Italy.
Beautiful and exceptional but tough and rather expensive. I will share a link with my videos when ready.
