Definitely a different experience hiking it alone, especially if you do the full Camino Frances. When you remove the obligation to think about your partner or anyone else in the group, you truly are free.
11:25 I honestly think that the parts that were about pushing through, are also the ones that made me enjoy the enjoyables much more. I remember that when I got to Santiago, I felt an immense pride in myself. Much like your funny expression. It was an "I fucking did this!" moment. I had won. Over myself. I'm definitely going to hunt that feeling again.
The absolute best remedy to the post Camino blues (and yes, it is very real) is a rest day in Santiago then carry on walking to Finisterra and/or Muxia. The extra few days walking give you a chance to process everything and adjust. When you reach Finistera, you are ready to go home (and plan your next Camino).
@@rickhiggins Ok :) I used the X4 on this camino. Bought the magnetic mound so I could easily mount it on my shoulderstrap, and just as easily get it into my hands. It worked out pretty well :)
i have totally enjoyed following your camino. I start my camino in Le Puy France the end of August and will finish the first week of November. 1000 miles of walking. I didn’t think about the effects on my psyche walking for 11 weeks would have. Thanks for this video!
My wife and I did a 12 day religious tour of Portugal, Spain and France Last month. I have been wanting and I am currently planning on doing the Camino Frances next year. I did get to see this cathedral and it is amazing. I also got to see so many pilgrims in the square doing there thing. I am both excited and apprehensive about doing this and I will be doing it alone. My wife does not think she can handle 500 miles and 35 days. Not to mention business could be an issue with such a long period away.
I did! ... they were in an ornate silver box which was locked behind bars. And after you were rushed by that box, you got to climb up behind the altar where a golden bust of him faced away from you towards the congregation ... and most folks gave him a little shoulder rub. Not being a catholic, I wasn't sure what I should do, so I just nodded a quick "wazzup" and kept on walking. :-)
Here’s a tip to consider. You can live very well with 4000€ a month in Portugal. Did you ever think of getting a D7 visa and move abroad for your retirement. Safety, health care, climate, friendly locals and cheap flights to visit any country in Europe are all on the menu. Some of these bonusses you have already experience in your caminho I am sure. Anyway wherever you go in the future, bom caminho.
The Camino is a thousand year old Catholic religious pilgrimage… not a Spanish cheap wine trail. I suggest that if you are on a spiritual experience rather than walking tourism you would have a much different emotional experience.
No te enteras, Rick. Santiago de Compostela es la capital de Galicia, Comunidad Autónoma del Estado español. Galicia es el noroeste de España. En tu Camino por Galicia, no te has dado cuenta de que estabas en un país distinto al que se vende como España a los extranjeros? Una pena que no hayas ido por los Caminos de la costa, en donde la belleza de Galicia alcanza su máxima expresión.
Hola, esta no es nuestra primera vez a Galicia, mi abuelo era de Lalin y estamos viajando despacio por el norte de Galicia, aunque fuimos a A Coruña para celebrar San Juan. Nos falta mucho para seguir explorando a Galicia, 90 dias no son suficiente. Estoy esperando mi cita para la ciudadania. (Consulado De España en Miami). Galicia de mi corazon.

Rick, you summed up my emotions about the Camino very accurately. That's why I want to repeat it again.
Thank you for the video.
You are more than welcome. Now that it's been a couple of weeks, I'm almost ready to do it again. (Just need to rest and eat some more tapas. LOL!)
Definitely a different experience hiking it alone, especially if you do the full Camino Frances. When you remove the obligation to think about your partner or anyone else in the group, you truly are free.
My thoughts exactly.
No way, the auberge in Cesantes too. We stayed a lot of the same places apparently :)
🐝thanks for the great video🌻 subscribed
Bro, do the Frances. More than a month of camino starting in France!

Agreed my friend. I need a new challenge that ends with that expression.
That was a great video. Thanks for the really interesting and thoughtful commentary.
👍🏻 thanks for sharing your walk, great videos. Did you like your shoes you wore?

So Rick, are you using an Insta360 X camera?
I have one, but no. That's a GoPro Hero 12. I wanted something light and my usual Watermelon-On-A-Stick setup wasn't going to cut it. LOL!

Thanks for sharing your journey. I hope to take this trip myself, someday.
I'm so glad you made it. And thank you for sharing your journey. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Most inspiring ❤️

But did you see St.James bones?

Post hike depression. It’s a thing.
It is!!
I use videos and FB groups to deal.
