Camino de Santiago Documentary | Walk Through Fire
I really liked this one as well. I always love the vlogs that focus on the people and connections made.
6 years later and the pull never goes away. I went with two other people last time and wish to do one on my own now. I think the Frances again. The hardest part is finding the when and how. Sometimes I think I just need a sign 😉
Great advice. I stopped in Orisson on first day after staying in St. Jean the night before. Didn't get started until about 11 am ish and it worked out quite well. Really helped the next day and easing into the journey as well.
I live in Texas and it has been at least 38 C or above for about 2 weeks now with recent temps getting to 40 or 41 C with a "feels like" temp of 43 C some days. All of this with around 50% humidity. It is impossible to do anything outside. I say this as someone who has lived here my entire life...
After the past couple of years I wouldn’t question why anyone would do it again if given the chance. I will be five years removed from my Camino soon and I honestly would have thought I would have returned by now. It just hasn’t been “in the cards” between work and pandemic. I am simply waiting...
Every Camino will be different and you just have to go with the flow and not overthink things. If I may ask, what Camino vlog were you watching? I love those things and watch all I can get my hands on.
It has been almost 5 years but it is funny looking back that I remember this route as one of the toughest days(worth it for the views!)along with the descent into Molinaseca. Did Villafranca to La Laguna. I often wonder if this is simply because the first day on the pyrnees was so far behind me...
This one I recently found is a father and son from the US making short daily videos. They are on the camino right now(up to Astorga I believe) so it could be interesting for people wondering what it is like.

I'm sure there is every degree possible since millions and millions of people have had it. I have tons of opinions on this stuff that don't belong here though 😟. Either way, my point was getting stuck and if you did happen to get really sick as well, bad situation. Not worth the risk for me.
If you travel in the next couple months you are quite brave. I'm not talking about covid either because the vaccines seem to make cases asymptomatic or mild. I mean popping positive and spending x amount of days in a hotel room. Yikes. :(
I'm wondering how these numbers look post pandemic for this fall and next. As someone not planning to be one of the first to dive back in the numbers in general for the whole year will be fascinating to me.
