He was following Coelho's path, getting lost over and over again in the forst 5km.I know I'm being a pedantic but it always bugs me that he's been walking for about a week - and then suddenly he can be found at the albergue in Orisson !! Just my little thing ;-)

Yep this one is spotted by just about every experience pilgrim. I saw a response on another site from Emilio where they spotted it - but after the final edit and all the "proofs" had gone to distribution. A bit like the guy in jeans in the Gladiator movie!!I know I'm being a pedantic but it always bugs me that he's been walking for about a week - and then suddenly he can be found at the albergue in Orisson !!

NO No No! 100% shot on location in France and Spain - apart from those opening scenes in Ventura (the beach and freeway shots). Even the golf course is in Spain - about 80 km from Madrid. (If you buy a copy of the DVD there is a special feature where all this is explained). Its my understanding that the "pilgrim 4" walked something like 300-350 km, but I can not verify if that actually included the last 100 km from Sarria to make truly eligible for Compostelas.I'm surprised how much of it was actually shot on location! Someone told me they shot the majority in Australia or something haha

It has already been filmed but the BBC have not announced the broadcast dates yet.Anyone any idea if the new show where some British celebs walk part of the Frances has been filmed?
Ok you got me!Not quite true. The final scene walking through some exotic market was actually filmed in Marrakech. Not in Spain unless the borders have changed recently and I hadn't heard about it

I guess Spanish markets aren't exotic enough, being mostly in air-conditioned modern buildings. But I guess movies aren't supposed to be realistic.Not quite true.

Hola - more congrats for a great job. When I walked the Camino back in May/June this year I did my own "The Way" sightseeing. Thanks for the info on the location in St Jean; I did find the location in Roncesvalles - La Posada where Tom & Joost have their midnight snack; I had my lunch in Pamplona siting about 5 metres from where the film table was located (no, they do not offer the Lamb dish, but their salad was one of the best I had all camino); you left out the sight of the meeting of Joost/Sarah & Tom in Zariquiegui; Torres del Rio has had a few changes - particularly the road in from the East (another small change where our 4 Amigos depart in the setting sun); the cafe/bar in Burgos where Tom's backpack was stolen has now had a significant renovation - outside still the same but inside totally changed. But again thanks for filling in a lot of the blanks. Cheers
specially since the other page that listed all the shooting locations for the movie (the silver-screen-spain.com one) shut down.
No, that's not the reason. The scene was shot in Marrakesh to show that the protagonist has moved on, beyond Spain, that he continues to travel and enjoy it which we presume he did not do before.I guess Spanish markets aren't exotic enough, being mostly in air-conditioned modern buildings. But I guess movies aren't supposed to be realistic.I haven't seen "The Way," .
Lucky you, bumping into the cast on your walk! Forum member, Anniesantiago, met them, too, and in her blog had a photo of herself with Martin Sheen and mentioned what a warm and kind person he was.I think some of the 300-400km walking was backwards and forwards as they re-took shots. The morning I met them on location (in Torres del Rio) they certainly went up and down the hill into town a lot.
I was going to say the same thing about the Marrakesh scene, but you said it so well.No, that's not the reason. The scene was shot in Marrakesh to show that the protagonist has moved on, beyond Spain, that he continues to travel and enjoy it which we presume he did not do before.
I'm firmly in the "Saint Jacques ... La Mecque" fans' camp, so if I watch "The Way" again it's just because I can say "oh look I've been there" or "that's the door of the room I slept in" so I, too, say thanks to @Caminofácil for putting this together and posting it.
Hi all:
I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks, but as usual, real life gets in the way...
Anyway: there have been in this forum a few threads listing the places where "The Way" was shot, and I thought that it would be a good idea to compile the information in them in a single place, specially since the other page that listed all the shooting locations for the movie (the silver-screen-spain.com one) shut down. So I made this thing:

You can navigate through each of the landmarks, or simply drag the map and pick the point you want. Hope you guys enjoy it. If there's any incorrect or incomplete information, please feel free to contact me.

I too, loved "The Pillars of the Earth", both book and mini series. It opened my eyes to the laborious efforts of building cathedrals so many centuries ago, using the most basic and unrefined tools that were available. When I visit the cathedrals on the Camino route I am reminded from that novel what incredible accomplishments they are. Truly amazing!Thank you for your work here.. one of my favorite movies( watched 7-8 times since discovering the Camino 3 yrs ago in the novel Pillars Of The Earth...)
Departing SJPP Sept 15..
Thanks so much for putting this guide together. I really enjoyed the movie and being able to link scenes with locations on the Camino really added something for me. Much appreciated.Hi all:

I'm sure Mr. Sheen just got a little confused on all the retakes of scenes they probably had to do. Or else in film editing they accidently got a couple of scenes mixed up, such as Orrison.In Martin Sheen's commentary on the dvd he says they shot all the Camino scenes on the Camino from east to west. Also that all the background people, with none speaking parts, are actual peregrinos.
Well done! Really enjoyed this!Hi all:

Great! This finally settles the endless question about which bridge his backpack fell from.
I know I'm being a bit pedantic but it always bugs me that he's been walking for about a week - and then suddenly he can be found at the albergue in Orisson !! Just my little thing ;-)
Well, … In 2010, I got rid of my car and walked or biked to work five times a week—a mere three blocks. Occasionally further for some errand. That is the closest thing to "training" I ever did. Yet since I retired in 2014, I have walked up to 66 kilometers in a day (usually less) and biked up to that much (also usually less). The only problems I've had are more attributable to forgetting to take water, rather than to the exertion. So I find all this talk about training hard to understand. (And if makes a difference, I'm 63 years old.)My biggest pet peeve with the movie still is that our friend Tom simply decides on a whim in SJPDP to put on Daniel's clothes, backpack (how heavy must this thing have been!), and more importantly Daniel's boots (!!!) and without a minute of training, just hops on the Camino and starts walking.
So I find all this talk about training hard to understand. (And if makes a difference, I'm 63 years old.)
Right. I could have added that the 66 KM I walked one day in Perú and the 53 KM I biked one day on Via de la Plata were more mountainous than most of the Camino Frances. But I'll admit that those are not typical days for me. Twenty to thirty kilometers is more normal. (Lots of stops for coffee, snacks, or photos.)I agree. If someone is in reasonable general health then spending weeks or months in systematic training is not necessary to walk the Caminos. It is a series of straightforward day walks - not the equivalent of climbing Everest or running a marathon.
Thanks for the info. Two more to add:
As previously mentioned, outside the church in Zaraquiegue is where Jost offers Sarah drugs and she says, "I love this guy.".
The second is where the gypsy has his son return the backpack to Tom. This was filmed on the west side of Burgos by the University, on the path that goes through Parque de Parral at the far western end of the park.
The palloza is near the entry to Foncebadón. It can be seen on Streetview. It is out of order, as it comes before Cruz de Ferro in fact, whereas it comes after Cruz de Ferro in the film. I'd like to identify the church too, but there are so many!Thanks for this posting! We enjoyed trying to find scenes when we did our last Camino. A couple of places we looked for were the O'Cebreiro type building where the group was resting on a stone wall (didn't seem to match anything we saw in O'Cebreiro) and the church where they ring a bell and Jack from Ireland refuses to go inside. Any thoughts?
Done. See:For those asking about the sculpture of Daniel and the animals. I believe it is part of the scripture and it is in the church in Eirexe. One day someone will put a picture of it on this site. Thank you to all of you .
You obviously need to watch the film again.Man, it's been a while since I've seen the film...Where exactly is the out-of-sequence Orisson scene? I gather that it's after Pamplona, but can't seem to remember it off the top of my head...
True, but my boss wouldn't appreciate that for the next several hours...You obviously need to watch the film again.
I didn't wish to appear unhelpful. The scene at the Orisson albergue occurs just before Pamplona, and after Akerreta, at about 39 minutes into the film.
I'd love it. Thanks so much.Hi, I made a 6-page Word Document (text and photos) from that original website. If anyone wants it, am happy to email it. (PM me.)

There are many issues to consider when filming a movie, lighting due to time of day, the best angle to show the best scenery (why they seem to be walking east as opposed to west) and the fit of the content that they filmed (sitting at the albergue in Orisson) sometimes you need to mix scenery up with people, buildings etc... to make a movie flow better. Artistic license. We must remember The Way is NOT a documentary but a movie about a fathers journey after losing his son along the Camino. The beauty and lessons of the Camino are definitely depicted in the movie and I think Emilio, Martin and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job.I'm sure Mr. Sheen just got a little confused on all the retakes of scenes they probably had to do. Or else in film editing they accidentally got a couple of scenes mixed up, such as Orrison.
Very well put together, I always wondered about some of the location scenes in the film. Thank you.Hi all:

Yes please thank you.I'd love it. Thanks so much.
Sorry and thank you for removing my address.Please use the conversation function. I have removed 2 email addresses for privacy.
Wow, thank you SO MUCH. I love this. I have seen the movie once, just ordered my own DVD so I can watch it multiple times. I will look for the locations!Hi all:

If you think caminofácil is good (18 locations), you will be knocked out if you read this: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/locations-used-in-the-way.67359/#post-858431 (over 100 locations). I have listed many more locations, but I can't do the visuals like caminofácil. I did not find them all myself; I received a lot of help from other forum members.Wow, thank you SO MUCH. I love this.

Holy Cow! This is really amazing. I had no idea how many The Way junkies were out there. Finally, something fun to do in my spare time. I'll be looking at all of the comments soon.
