Camino Frances from SJPP - September (2017)
Camino Frances from SJPP - September (2021)
In September 2022 my friends and I came across a small group from Mexico that were filming a documentary on the Camino Frances. Our first encounter with them was by convento de San Antón, the monastery ruins before Castrojeriz. They interviewed the four of us, myself, Ed, Jim and Happy (yes his name is Happy).
We came across them several times after that and when they saw us they would start singing don't worry, be happy.
Does anyone know those film makers?
Does anyone know if their documentary film was released?
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

I think you’re talking about Chabelo Padilla. You can find him on FB.
