Ah…walking sans talking…footsteps on stones and pebbles, dirt and snow…birds and wind and raindrops…church bells…sun flash days, overcast skies and cloud-covered hills…bundled up and sometimes sleeveless…just as I’ve pictured my Camino. Thank you for taking us along on yours. 🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing your winter adventure! Years back I also walked in late winter. Not so many other peregrinos then. Last time I biked from Germany to Santiago from August to October. And although there were so many people on the trail then, no-one seemed to stop off at Manjarin. Glad to see you did and that little Chico got some cuddles 🐕 😊. Buen Camino from KaterOnBike
En voilà un super film, court, silencieux avec de beaux cadrages, juste ce qu'il faut pour réveiller des émotions passées. Des sauts dans l'espace, et beaucoup de vérités, la longue descente vers Ponferrada, le matin tôt en quittant O Cebreiro...merci. Ultreïa !
I began at the tail end of March and only experienced one day of slushy snow at the top of the mountain before arriving at Roncesvalles. I do remember hearing about the many peregrinos who chose not to start during semana santa because of the bitter cold weather. Your video was great. Still very fresh in my mind. As you walked, I was right there with you just a few weeks later. The Camino is something I will never forget. Thanks for sharing. Me ha encantado!
Absolutely amazing. Nice sound. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
I just returned home to the Central Coast of California , We were on the Camino at the same time, well done but never crossed paths with you. Pilgrims need to speak out about all the Rubbish/Garbage/Basura that hikers are throwing right on the trail! along the sides of the trail! It is DISGUSTING! Cigarette Boxes everywhere! Beer Cans Everywhere! Toilet Paper Everywhere! Kleenex/ Snot Paper! Everywhere! Empty Water Bottles Everywhere!The villages leave huge colored garbage containers EVERYWHERE! What's going on between the ears of these Filthy Careless Walkers!! All I can say is it is SHAMELESS! and Pathetic! After leaving Santiago towards Finisterre the garbage was almost ZERO!! Please this issue needs to be addressed or the locals will start taking action against everyone not just the Polluters! I will be returning next year in April to finish a section I had to pass on due to an injury, Leon to Sarria, other than that I am thru with the France and only hope the Portuguese and the Primitiva are not as cluttered with garbage from thoughtless, horrible people .
It’s a pity we didn’t cross paths. You’re absolutely right about the rubbish on the trail. We met a few people who were carrying bin bags to pick up rubbish along the way, I wish I had done more of that. But the change has to be with the people who are littering of course. The Frances is so popular I think people get away with a lot of bad behaviour. I expect you’re right about the other routes, people hiking those will probably be more conscientious.
Did Camino Portuguese Central Apr 16-29 and was very pleased with how little trash there was. It is not near as popular as the Francés, which may be why it is cleaner.
I've heard there are more and more vending machines, advertisement murals painted on buildings, nonsense graffitti on signs, such a shame to ruin the Camino.
Agreed a lot of these things can take away from the experience. I have to say though, this particular vending machine after Roncesvalles saved our lives. It was very early in the morning, freezing cold and no cafes were open… that little 1euro coffee was so welcome it tasted absolutely amazing and thus became a highlight of the trip for me haha! I do take your point though. I imagine some of the other Camino routes may be less popular and therefore a little less ‘commercial’ feeling than the Francés can be at times. On the whole though none of these aspects were enough to ruin the trip for me I still think it’s an amazing route.

Haha gotta love that little chico …Thanks for your comment!
Walk, eat, sleep, repeat. The simplicity is a meditation itself.
Absolutely.
This video is pure poetry, this video is pure.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse réfléchie. Ultreia!
Mine was solo at 63, 2 years ago. A simple but great video bringing back happy memories, thank you!
Your packing list is so helpful! Thank you. I’m preparing for hiking and camping trip to the Canadian Rockies soon.
Glad to be of help! Thanks for your message and good luck with your trip, it sounds exciting.

Thanks for watching and your comment. I think if I was doing it again I’d choose late March/early April - I think that would be ideal.
Wow! I felt as if I were walking besides you. Beautifully done. Your video is a beautiful little story. God bless you for sharing it.
Thanks so much for your comment. That’s exactly what I hoped this video would be.
Did this April 2019, great memories, Ulteria et susseia

Congratulations! That time of the month has to be very hard. 👍🏻
Absolutely great video. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thanks for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for letting be on the Camino with you without chatter and commentary. Buen Camino.
Thanks for joining us 🙏
Nice video and thanks for sharing all the packing info. What were the dates that you began and ended your journey?
Thanks for watching 🙏 we left SJPDP on 5th March - arrived in Santiago on the 2nd April.
I thought that was Loki at the beginning
