I like your tips, your insight, and especially your sense of humor. I loved it when you said, “Wilson,” when you tossed your walking stick into the stream. 😊
Another great video - bringing back lots of great memories - you definitely need to consider making DVDs for each of your treks so that people can watch these episodes on TV.
These are great videos. Thank you so much. My son and I were on the trail the same time with you. We started a few days later. We arrived in St. Jean 27Apr2017 and started walking 29Apr. We stayed a little too long in Orisson having a few beers with the locals and other Pilgrims. We left Orisson about 6pm for Roncesvalles. We were warned not to go as a storm was coming, but the Albergue was full and we were not going back down to St. Jean. So, you guessed it, we got stuck in a snowstorm and had to sleep in the goat shelter on the right as you cross into Spain. Not the nice concrete shelter. The rock goat hut. The two of us and another couple from Paris. The winds reached 86mph and the day we finally made it off the mountain, they closed it. 3 People had to be rescued. Your videos are a great trip down memory lane. Thank you so much for sharing. Oh, the funny part. If you saw the movie "The Way," my son is named Daniel and we were caught on top the Pyrenees mountains after being warned by the locals not to go. Yes, everyone laughed at us for days.
Last time I stayed at the albergue in Roncesvalles I remember the lights coming at 0600 I think, and we were all woken by an older gentleman, one of the hospitalero's who was singing "hallelujah, hallelujah.....hallelujah". 2:20 I would have LMAO if that rude bicyclist had taken a dip in the drink. I've stayed in Zubiri before. You can buy some cheap trekking poles there, too. There and in Pamplona and Puente de la Reina.
Efren, your videos are great. I'm walking my first Camino May 28th 2019. I have been watching your videos everyday to get an idea of what i will do. I'm going to try and follow your same schedule, it seems to be perfect for me. Thanks for sharing. Great job editing.
Efren, thanks to your videos we made El Camino last year (my wife and my two sons) from Ponferrada to Santiago. we're planning to make the Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Burgos on May 2020. Thanks for the inspiration
I’m thankful for you posting your Camino. I’ve been thinking of doing it for a few years now, just have to find the time, along with the spare money, to do it. I’m drawn to do it I feel. Watching your posts has lit a fire within to seriously find the time and means to go. Thanks.
I stayed in Zubiri a couple of times on the Camino. It's a nice little town and has that cool bridge and we went wading in the river. I know there's a plant nearby I can't say I heard the noise of industry at all there.
Your videos are cool and interesting to watch))) good-humoured as well)) Thanks a lot for this good job)) This summer I am planning on my first Camino)) Wish me good luck))
Jueves, 18 de Enero 2018. Soy de El Salvador (Centroamérica) pero vivo en Dallas, Texas USA 2:00 de la mañana y yo viendo tus videos, planeo ver el resto de ellos.😅
Greetings from Northern California, I did the Camino Sept/Oct of 2017. I loved it but if I do it again it will be in Springtime, I like green. Before my El Camino I watched multiple Camino blogs, but then after I got back nothing until now, maybe I was burned out on it. I might be getting the El Camino bug again.
Brilliant, well documented videos, I start my camino in 2 days time, & I'm looking forward to the experience, quick question, do you run the water thru any filtration, or is it ok?
Estoy viendo que tus videos estan fabulosamente bien hechos, y muy explicados las tomas de dron ¿tu las hiciste? Me gustó mucho que al final des lo que gastaste, eso me va a ayudar mucho, mi ingles es muy malo, me hubiera encantado que fueran en español, pero aun así te felicito, voy a verlos todos y a recomendarlos.
Gracias Aaron! Los hice en inglés porque me siento más cómodo improvisado que en español. Las tomas de drone son todas mías. Lleve un DJI Mavic pro conmigo en el camino.
Great job, Efren. Hate to be repetitive, but I hope you know how much you are helping those of us planning for our first Camino. What day did you leave from SJPDP? Thanks a lot!
@@Walk_with_Efren Perfect! Will plan for a similar start since the weather looks great. Not a bad crowd either. . Plus, spending semana santa in Spain will be great. Thanks again, Effren.
Have you seen the English comedian, Dom Joly? You have a doppelganger! Great videos (I've only watched 2 so far). Is there a screen on the drone controller so you can see what you are getting? But when you are walking and talking to the camera you are holding it in your (left) hand, right? I hate poles (or sticks). Didn't you find that the stick you picked up was useless? You threw it away at the end of the second day, the same day that you found it. The number of people you see with them who are not really using them, just going click, click, click, as they walk along. IMO they are a waste of money and weight. They might be useful for a few minutes out of 6-8 hours walking going downhill, but just be extra careful.
Don't know Dom Holy but I will look him up. I used the DJI APP on my iPhone to see the stone's feed. Yes I would hold my camera with my left hand (lefty here) but I did take a small and compact tripod that I didn't use enough. As for the poles looking back I wish I would have taken them. They are great to easy the load off your back and help on the way down. Also if you get injured, have blisters or your achilles tendons hurt (it happened to me) they are a life saver. I did throw away the stick I found but I came across others and used them as the days passed by.
I like your tips, your insight, and especially your sense of humor. I loved it when you said, “Wilson,” when you tossed your walking stick into the stream. 😊
Such a great video. Watching it again so many years later. You have a gift for this.
What I like is that you are just a regular guy making an extraordinary journey. I relate to you, man!
You are such an inspiration! And you have a great sense of humour 😄❤ love your comments and videos. Keep them coming please 🙏🏼🙌💛

J. Todd Watkins that's cRacy. Glad you made it out ok
Haha, don't worry man. Me and a few others also missed that same turning! Thanks for the vids!

After walking the camino twice 1:50 amuses me. Everyone misses that turning haha

I actually stayed at one of my favorite albergues in Zubiri, Suseia. You can't hear the plant at all from town.
I LOVE YOUR DAILY COSTS THANKS!

Glad to hear. After you finish it, check out my 2021 walk as well.
Efren, campeón great videos and great views! Many thanks! I will start my Camino next May 7th 2019. Thanks for all your advice! Buen Camino!

Which guide book are you using? Loving the videos :)
You have done an amazing job with your videos. I really am enjoying them. Where did you travel from to get to the Camino and how long did it take you?
Stayed in Zubiri 5 times - you can’t hear the plant from anywhere in town
Omg so funny “heelll yeah”
What time of year did you do this walk. It looks fantastic. Love the drone shots. Very well done.
thanks. I did it April-May of 2017.
Hola Efren, your video is good. what camera were you using? Did you use a drone, too? what audio did you use? Thanks.
Canon 5d Mark Iv and a DJI MAvic Pro. Had problems with a mic I took and after a while I switched to the onboard mic.
How did you get the aerial shots of the villages?
a Drone
Fantastic video. What time of the year did you do the Camino ?
thank you Mayuresh for watching. I went from April 18 (Saint Jean) to May 23 (Fisterra)
What guide book did you use?
hello,
could you let me know which handbool you are using, ann
Handbook? Do you mean the Pilgrim passport by any chance?
What months were you hiking the Camino?
I went from April 18 (Saint Jean) to May 23 (Fisterra)
Estoy viendo que tus videos estan fabulosamente bien hechos, y muy explicados las tomas de dron ¿tu las hiciste?
Me gustó mucho que al final des lo que gastaste, eso me va a ayudar mucho, mi ingles es muy malo, me hubiera encantado que fueran en español, pero aun así te felicito, voy a verlos todos y a recomendarlos.

Increible, mejor dicho fabuloso te quedaron muy bien.
I absolutely love your videos. You are so dynamic, funny, and sexy! Buen Camino
thank you
Great job, Efren. Hate to be repetitive, but I hope you know how much you are helping those of us planning for our first Camino. What day did you leave from SJPDP? Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the kind words. I left on the 17th of April if I'm not mistaken, but you can find the specific dates on the vlog's description
@@Walk_with_Efren Perfect! Will plan for a similar start since the weather looks great. Not a bad crowd either. . Plus, spending semana santa in Spain will be great. Thanks again, Effren.
what month did you walk el camino?
April 17 - May 24
the herd? u so funny!
empezaste el Camino con bastantes más kilos con los que terminaste ;)
7 kilos
Did you use a water filtration pill everywhere you got water?
RG_4620 I had a filter connected to my camel bag. You can see it in my gear video.
