    Short video of my 4 days on the Camino del Sur

    Yes, March 26-29 I was walking, and then spent an extra day in Aracena and did some walking around there in the sierras. I wish I was able to continue on from there because I think those last 3 stages are considered the more beautiful stages. But weather wise this was the perfect time to walk.

    Short video of my 4 days on the Camino del Sur

    Hi all, here is a link to a little video I made of my short 4 day walk on the Camino del Sur route that begins in Huelva (where I currently live) and officially ends in Zafra, where it links up with the VDLP. Unfortunately, due to the COVID restrictions at the time (Semana Santa 2021) I was only...

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    I live in Huelva right now so I was hoping to do the Camino del Sur from Huelva to Zafra over the Easter holiday, but unfortunately it looks like restrictions won't be loosened by then and I won't be able to cross into Extremadura, so I may just walk the first four days up to Aracena, I'm not...

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Hi, thank you for watching and for the kind words! The most memorable day was easily the climb to O Cebreiro due to the spectacular beauty of the snowy views and the exhaustion and relief and gratification and so many other emotions I felt upon arrival. I also met some super friendly and cute...

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Hey, thanks for watching! Yes, that is what I had to do, so yes I did have to walk more but that's okay it was worth it for me, I was not in a hurry. And yes I do love dogs they definitely helped my energy levels every day. As far as the music goes I wanted to choose something peaceful that...

    Glad to know I was doing something right, and thanks for those tips, news to me! And I actually decided not to weigh my pack beforehand because I didn't want to overthink it. I knew what I thought I needed and my body handled the full pack fine leading up to the trip so I wasn't too worried...

    I love it in the south. Hoping to complete the Camino del Sur from Huelva to Zafra sometime before I move to Málaga later this year.

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Hi, thanks for watching! I studied Spanish in school, spent six months in Santiago, Chile studying, six months in Santiago, Spain working, and now I've been living and working in Huelva, Spain for six months. So between all of that I am now quite proficient!

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Thank you! I wish a could have included more of the food but the video was getting a little too long, so I decided to leave most of it out. I tried to eat mostly local dishes- plenty of pulpo, caldo gallego, bacalao for dinner, usually just a sandwich and chocolate on the road during the day.

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Growing up as a Boy Scout the motto "Be Prepared" was drilled into my head. I'm so glad it was because this trip reaffirmed to me that preparation is key when taking on big tasks like this. Also, although cliché, I kept reminding myself to always appreciate the little things. There are so many...

    Wish the quality was a bit better, I'm sure it looked a bit grainy on a big screen, but thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Really good observation! I never did a retake, but I did have to wait every once and a while until a car passed to start walking for the camera. I also edited out the noises of cars approaching in some of the shots to give it a more peaceful feel. There were certainly more cars than the video...

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Thank you! And yes, truly was a delight to arrive in Santiago with sunny skies. I used to live there so that detail did not go unappreciated... I'm all too aware of the usual weather this time of year. That's why I moved to the south!

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Thanks for the kind words! I actually got lucky and someone had walked quite a bit of the way to O Cebreiro earlier that day, between La Faba and La Laguna, IIRC. Although I don't think it would have been a problem, as the path usually had a fence on both sides making it pretty clear where to...

    It's a shame indeed. I filmed it at 720 but my computer is old and extremely slow and I was afraid downloading the much bigger 720p file from imovie would overheat it. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for watching! The number of seemingly neglected or at least poorly treated dogs was pretty sad to see, I had to show them love and of course most responded well (especially when I had some spare chorizo, haha).

    Thanks! And you're right, but there are some gems that I watched many times beforehand and which helped inspire me to make my own.
