My long walk in 2021 –at 78 y my 6th Camino – was particularly joyful after having recovered from several cancer surgeries, a quintuple bypass, and deep sorrow.
This video is personal but I'd like to share it here because it shows that it can be done, no matter what,



Buen Camino
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Pepi, I have only watched as far as the Irache fountain, but very well done and love the background music, too! I will definitely be finishing it. Thank you for sharing your video and am sorry to hear of your personal loss.

Edit...I finished your video tonight. Very well done and entertaining with lots of variety! I enjoyed reliving many of my own memories as I watched. Thank you!

@pepi Normally not a big fan of Caminovideos but this one was an exception.

Thank you for sharing. You also seem to have found a nice group of pilgrims.

Un abrazo fuerte for many reasons!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful video.
 
Thank you for sharing this sensitive, evocative video: the imagery, the editing, the music, the conclusion - just so well done and so very touching.

Thank you for sharing this lovely video. So many moments of it made me smile as I anticipate my own walk this coming Aug/Sep. My heart goes out to you for your loss.

Thank you very much for your nice post. Walking the first Camino is always memorable and you must be very excited with the planning. The time period for your walk is well-chosen, by the end of August most vacationers are back at work and September is my favorite. (My video was made last year at this time). The weather is usually balmy, so you can save a lot of unnecessary weight.

People who have seen my video have asked me if the Camino is really so social, with so much music and singing, laughing, etc. Yes, it is, provided you are open and willing to get involved. Pilgrims are a friendly lot.

Wishing you a buen Camino.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
