    "3 Caminos" Series available on US Amazon Prime Video

    Indeed, YT videos offer a really unique point of view. I love those where we can hear the steps along the way. I watched a 34 minutes one today that shows the Camino Portugues from Tui to Santiago de Compostela, and that helped me visualize my future path in a way that makes me want to start my...

    "3 Caminos" Series available on US Amazon Prime Video

    I watched it last year and just finished watching it today. I’ve also watched “The Way” over the weekend. They’re all tear-inducing at different points, and I’m sure I’ll be watching again before my Camino. I think the key messaging (to me) is that the Camino provides, you can have your plans...

    Base training level-future Camino at least a year away?

    I am planning for the Camino Portugues starting in Valença in 2025 (aiming for April, but that may change). My goal is to start with 5 km/day on weekends and build it up to 25 km/day.

    Protest signs along the Camino near Santiago

    And that is the impression I get from many YouTube videos I’ve been watching. I’m focused on the Camino Portugues ones, but eventually watch some of the Frances and it seems that even the bigger towns are always empty and you just see peregrinos and rarely residents.

    Protest signs along the Camino near Santiago

    Having never walked the Camino, I’ve always wondered how is the access to basic resources to the residents. I come from a country where rural means very little to no basic resources at all, so now I guess I know it is not different to my home country.

    Protest signs along the Camino near Santiago

    I did a high level Google search and found this article: https://www.elcorreogallego.es/santiago/2023/07/28/raxoi-negocia-lavacolla-incorporar-peticiones-90404112.html It has to do with city planning and trying to meet the needs of the Camino flow but also the residents. It’s in Gallego, so...

    I am watching your Camino and admiring your resilience! It will be a beautiful Camino! I’ve heard similar accounts about the lack of bars in the Coastal part in Portugal. I wonder if that eventually will change as that is becoming (slowly) a more popular route!

    Camino Portugues 2025 - is April a good time?

    Thanks for sharing! I was reading of a few people in similar weather conditions on the Camino that brought gloves and never wore them, I think I would be one of them as well 😅
