This is a great film about the Camino: It is 2h. 27 mins. long, but it says it all. Three different souls on the Camino:

Even if you do not speak Spanish, you will understand a lot, and not least, the underlying points. It may seem long but hey, we pilgrims have the time on our side, not?
This film "brought me back" to the Camino several times, and I am very happy that I am leaving in 3 weeks from now to Alicante (the cheapest airfare from here) and then Madrid/Lisbon by bus/train for walking the Camino Portuguese.
A strange thing happened today:
I am working (in my spare time) as a skipper on a fishing/Northern Lights views boat on day and night cruises for tourists here in Arctic Norway: Today, I had a lovely family of 12 Spanish from Barcelona (grandparents, children/in laws, and grandchildren; beautiful large family) as guests out to the sea for fishing, and I was serving them a complete, traditional fish dinner (simmered Arctic cod (in abundance) , with steamed potatoes, fried bacon, and vegetables ++: The way we make it at home): When they understood I was/had been a pilgrim in their own land, and spoke a little of their language, they simply exploded): I now have a permanent invitation to stay in their villa in Barcelona whenever I want, as well as an invitation to permanently rent an apartment of theirs in Benidorm as my winter retreat. I will. You bet. The Camino gives you what you need, indeed!
Ever since my first Camino (Frances) in 2009, I have been thinking about/experiencing how the Camino is giving you what you need (not necessarily what you want...). I have experienced it several times, not only for myself, but also for my fellow peregrinos. It is indeed strange. It just hit me too today, in my own land...
