Synopsis:
A few people meet and connect from St Jean to Burgos (1 hour mark is 6 days in on average). Fast forward to Cruz de ferro. Then fast forward to Santiago. No blisters. No rain. No bad experiences except an exaggerated one at an albergue in Tores de Rio.
Tribute: I’ll be honest, this movies is why I did my first Frances hike and the next 3 and my Portuguese hike. And why I’m planning a Norte and Primitivo hike. And have the map framed on my wall.
But after hiking the Camino Frances 4 times (and even before) I still love watching the movie to remind me of the incredible journey. FYI I probably watch it once a month. Forget the accuracy, I’m happy with her nostalgia.
Even after hiking, how much do you watch and “try” to remember?
In the UK there was a TV series called The Pilgrimage where a number of 'celebrities' went on the Francés for 12 days, taking in the scenic bits and supposedly walking from Ferreiros to Santiago, exactly 100 kms, to get their compostela. I watch it now and then with the sound off (one of the celebs is particularly annoying and even says on camera: I thought we'd just walk a bit and then all get into a minibus) just to see the stunning views on the walk from St Jean to Roncesvalles.

My name is Sharon and I am a camino addict. I also watch The Way every month or so to watch the scenery as much as the story. My husband liked to exclaim they are walking the wrong way in one or more scenes and I always say "it's a movie, the light was probably better that way". But I love the movie and except for the jail part, the fun and comradely found in town is similar to my 8 Camino's. I have met many groups that met on the Camino and walk together. This only happened to us once, usually we meet another couple and stay in the same place several times and then don't see each other again until Santiago.Synopsis:

I hope that you get the opportunity to see the documentary ,The Camino Voyage.It follows a group of Irish pilgrims who built their own boat and row to Santiago ,no mean feat.The journey takes them along the west coast ofI love the documentary “I’ll push you” and the French “La Mecque - St Jacques”...

France and the northern coast of Spain i.e the Camino del Norte which I have walked several times.It is beautifully filmed .It is subtitled because the pilgrims are native Irish speakers and that adds to the poignancy of the documentary.I found it a very emotional experience.I saw it earlier this year ,here in Belfast N Ireland.
Yes, one more for "St-Jacques La Mecque"!I love the documentary “I’ll push you” and the French “La Mecque - St Jacques”...
I’ll Push You is a great documentary to watch. So much more inspirational than The Way.I love the documentary “I’ll push you” and the French “La Mecque - St Jacques”...
It was the movie where I first heard about Camino. Just love it.... and the French “La Mecque - St Jacques”...

Magnifique.I had started writing this and it disappeared - where to I do not know...
Anyway, I have just received an answer from the makers of the Camino Voyage: "THE CAMINO VOYAGE will be available on VOD and DVD from November 1st, 2019." Voila! How about that!!!
Nuala, you've just made many of us here cry. And the rest have rushed off to find just where those tickets can be had..€19.99 from Dublin to Madrid and €39.00 from Santiago to Dublin in October.

Just...WOW.
(So. Where will you go??)
Apropos of not much, I recently heard a discussion on the radio about denim and fine fabric care ... and basically they said you should never wash jeans, and rarely wash high quality clothing. The washing breaks down the fabric. It should be spot washed for stains, brushed and occassionly put in the freezer to kill any vermin (i.e. bacteria).I watched it the second time a few months after returning from my first Camino. I kept yelling at the screen "why are you wearing jeans? Your laundry will never dry!"
Off topic, but Woo hooooo, Nuala!I promised the Camino Mendocino folk that I'd continue my walk to Santiago and record Guadalajara as my starting point at the Pilgrim Office. I didn't expect to be able to do it this year, but carpe diem and all that!
Same for me. I used some foot moisturizer followed by Vaseline. Worked like a charm. Also, never walked too fast.BTW, message me for any questions about gear or albergue or anything. One thing I swear by is greasing your toes and heals prior to putting on socks and shoes. Never had a blister after my first Camino.

Like you, the movie motivated me to do the walk, love the move and the sound track is great also. I highly recommend purchasing it. One thing, the movie hit home to me, was the friendship and the fellowship. We are all on the journey and journey never ends. Wish I could go back tomorrow!
I love the movie, and that's exactly how I use it Phoenix. And, I add the additional caveat that two unrealistic parts of the movie are the no one ever has blisters or gets rained on. Also, not everyone ends up with a "Camino family". Other than that it's a pretty good representation of what the Camino feels like. BTW, another wonderful, inspirational movie is Phil's Camino. http://philscamino.comI like to think of The Way movie as a primer for those who know nothing about Camino. I'll recommend it to someone who is curious/intrigued by the thought of Camino, along with the caveat that it's definitely a simplified Hollywood version that captures the essence of the Camino rather than being an accurate depiction.
I loved, loved, loved "I'll Push You"!I love the documentary “I’ll push you” and the French “La Mecque - St Jacques”...
Thanks, Kinky...can't wait to look this one up!It was the movie where I first heard about Camino. Just love it.
Hi MichaelF4. I start my first Camino on 19 September from SJPdP. We have booked a couple of places that we particularly wanted to stay at from recommendations we had. Molino Galosches is one of them.Any fan of the film and of the Camino in general should plan on making a stop at El Molino just outside of Hornillos del Camino just after Burgos. It's a beautiful old mill turned into a country inn and its connection to the film is a story that could have come straight from Hollywood.

Love to see fans of "The Way". I have in my possession the "El Ramon" stamp. If interested, contact me at (scottmack222@gmail.com) to see how to obtain a stamp.Synopsis:

I believe it was labeled as "Hollywood" because the script is worthy of hollywood label, it was very entertaining, there's some sort of exaggeration, some of the stuff are not real or uncamino-like, Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez are top-tier Hollywood stars but other than that, you are right, Hollywood usually would not touch or support any movie that is even slightly or even remotely related to the Christian religion.I wish people would stop referring to "The Way" as a "Hollywood" movie, It was very much an independent and personal production. Hollywood had no interest in it being made.
I am donating platelets at the Red Cross tomorrow! I donate frequently, and yes, they have many movies, and even relatively new ones. BUt they don't have The Way, or else I would watch that. But that is okay, I have watched it 3 times this past year.....I would consider being tossed in jail a bad experience.
I watch The Way a few times a year when donating platlets at the Red Cross. You get hooked up to a machine for two hours with a needle in each arm so they have individual TV/DVD players and, at my donation center at least, a huge assortment of movies. I often grab The Way first (bright yellow cover makes this easy) and if I can't find something else suiting me by the time of my hookup that's what I watch. It takes as much time to watch as for them to suck out whatever they want from me. They tell me it is a very popular DVD.
Mine too @MoniRose. Saw it 4 or 5 years ago when my friends told me about it while they were on the Camino. Leaving in less than 3 weeks for my first Camino!!My first red flag? They are wearing denim.But I love the movie and it was my inspiration for my first Camino.
