St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Had me going as well. Thought I might have a long lost cousin somewhere. BTW, I've been in the process of reediting all the videos in lieu of walking. You see a new set going up to replace all the Camino videos (CF, CP, and VDLP) that gets rid of the "slant" in some of the videos. Going to take a month or so to get everything up there. The new ones are going to be labeled with a _2 at the end. Sorry for the bunch of changes. Looking forward to May of next year (hopefully), Buen Camino to all and thanks for taking time to watch my amateur efforts :)
 
I was walking through the eucalyptus forest just before Santiago airport. The rain was pouring down and making splat splat sounds on my Altus poncho, and my glasses were steaming up. Great storm soundscape from my iPhone, the cross trainer provided the perspiration and the steamed up glasses.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
