    Revised Spring gear packing list (after VdlP)

    I just finished the VdlP from Seville to Santiago in 28 days. I was travelling light. I did do 10-14km walks at home daily for about 8 months to prepare (multiple smaller walks in Winter time instead of 1 longer one). My original packing list did not fully take into account how the rain and the...

    Norte 2023 in pictures (8min)

    Norte 2023 was the first time I actually put some training into Camino. I walked a lot of stairs at home, a lot. First week in Spain was mountains and mud. After that it was pratically all asphalt. I took as many coastline alternatives as I could.:

    Video: SJPdP - Santiago - Muxia - Finisterre (9min)

    My third Camino was originally supposed to be Camino Norte. Last minute issues threw that idea completely on its head and just 24h before my flight left, I decided to try Camino Frances once again. The first time on the Frances was just 5 years earlier. I did eventually get to do the Norte a...

    Video: Lisbon - Porto - Santiago - Finisterre (9min)

    Just a few days ago I finished my first Camino video. That one was about Camino Frances. The first Camino got me addicted. Two years later I was back on the Camino - this time I started walking from Lisbon. For the second video I added also daily walking information and 1+ ideas from my blog...

    My first Camino (2017)

    It took me years to get myself together and build this 10 minute slideshow of my favorite images from the first Camino I had. I hope others also enjoy this and it will bring back memories. Hopefully my Youtube channel will soon see also the other adventures:

    Gear list for VdlP in March/April

    I have done some Summer Caminos and I intend to go light with a small backpack. My list does not include some hygiene stuff that I will buy in Spain and deplete as I go forward step by step. The current weather I have at home is more or less what it should be like in mornings before sunrise...

    Blog of Norte 2023 May/June

    I started Norte in mid May 2023 and finished in June. I was travelling extremely light with just a 20L daypack to hold all my gear, water and food. My daily adventures as stories and single images in blog format (it took 29 days from Irun to Santiago on foot)...

    LIVE from the Camino Norte in real time

    Im doing my second day on the Norte as I write this. Going along the trail I make video clips and post them in real time. Instagram page: https://instagram.com/madis.valja?igshid=ZGUzMzM3NWJiOQ== Videos are under stories. They last just 24 hours before the system removes them. This way you are...

    Terrain of Via de la Plata?

    I was putting together brochure style information about the most popular Camino trails that people are walking to/from Santiago. I will be starting Camino Norte in 2 weeks, so the amount of research I have done makes me quite confident in knowing more or less what is ahead of me for that trail...

    Buying poles or staff in Irun/San Sebastian?

    I'm arriving to Irun in the afternoon on the 12th of May. Will be in San Sebastian on the 13th. Would like to walk the Camino once again with a wooden staff like they sell in the pilgrim store in SJPdP. Normal cheap pair of walking poles would also do. Will anyways donate them once finished with...
