It appears that the film of 'I'm off then...' by Kerkeling is due to premiere very soon.

In September and October I walked with many young German men, many of which were university students. I welcome them wholeheartedly and would welcome the opportunity of walk and talk with them again. Most spoke perfect English too.

It's probably just coincidence but Germans seemed to be the biggest contingent on the Norte, when we walked earlier this year.

Wonderful people to walk with. One thing very common among them-- the destination seems to be Finisterre, not Santiago.

perhaps i did not phrase the thread topic correctly; nothing wrong with more germans on the camino, the more the merrier!

just wondering if the Camino will experience a 'The Way' (film) pilgrim boost, but with germans this time. on that note, i really did not like the book, wonder what the film will be like.

We have been there since a long time ;-) I doubt the film will increase the number of German pilgrims considerably as the Jakobsweg is already well known in Germany since many years. Guten Weg! SY
