    Documentary about the Norte

    Don't know if anyone has seen this on Netflix, but it's a beautiful documentary of some travelers on the Norte and their spiritual experience. I highly recommend it! It's called Footprints: The Path of Your Life http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6079160/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

    Portuguese Camino do Norte

He doesn't give any indications of it's location or if it's currently way marked in the book, aside from pointing out a few mountain peaks that it crosses. Does anyone know if this route is...

    Advice regarding my stages

    Hello all,Combarro I'm entering the real planning stage for my Camino in the Spring. Most have told me that if I plan on taking the Spiritual Variant, to plan for 14 days. The map I worked out online has me getting through it in roughly 11. This makes me think that the map isn't accounting...

As it stands now, I'm thinking of placing...

    Hello all, As much as I've loved reading everyone's approach to the Camino here, I was desperately looking for books on the Camino from a spiritual perspective. I'm happy to say that I found two! 500 Miles with Jesus by Dave Pivonka and Walk in a Relaxed Manner by Joyce Typo are excellent...
