Camino Frances (2013)
Just saw a video series on Amazon Prime Video the other night. The series was called "Pilgrimages of Europe" and includes Croagh Patrick in Ireland, Lourdes in France, Faitma in Portugal, and of course Santiago de Compestella in Spain. The video of Santiago was filmed in 1981. It was really neat to see the pilgrims cooking with mini stoves and carrying what looked to be a heavy sleeping bag. Also, no other pilgrims in sight when they were walking. The video is only about 30 minutes long and is free if you have Amazon Prime (might be free anyway, not sure). Saw them walking on roads that are now paved, and a line of trees along the path that looked like they were just recently planted. Nice throw back video if you are interested.

Thanks! I just added it to my watch list.
